Michigan Custom Homes

They were contracted to build our last home. The salesperson exclaimed how great they were. The initial process was slow which I believe was the fault of the salesperson. The showroom visit was supposed to be a great experience (mandatory) but was not really beneficial. We bought many items from outside sources. The building quality in my opinion was average.

They say you can participate in the actual building process but once you start there is always a reason you can't. Plan to paint your home. To me the quality of product used was inferior and it was a battle to get what we wanted. We painted 1/2 of our home including purchasing the product and received no credit. In fact, they made it clear it was a burden to them.

The 30 day follow-up took almost 6 months and the quality of follow-up was not satisfactory. Lastly, they are a larger organization and the paperwork was atrocious. A form and a CYA document is required for EVERYTHING. I felt as if they believe they are too big and too important for the average homeowner and they would rather focus their time and effort on their other projects.

Shayna at the call service is unhelpful and somehow rude beyond belief scoffing at what I say and not being very helpful. I definitely never wanna call past hours again. She didn't even listen to me telling the deshano company I wanted a job at assisted living when I was wondering if deshano was hiring. Seriously a frustrating experience.

DeShano Construction has been the most professional team that I have worked with. I have tried other contractors, but no one else measures up to these guys. They handled the remodel of my house while I was a thousand miles away in Georgia and didn't miss a beat. They did such a good job I trusted them with the work on my parents home and our deer camp as well.

They assign a professional supervisor for each job. It's nice to have one contact that handles all aspects of the work. And due to their size and leverage, they are usually cheaper than most of the local contractors in town. I highly recommend them and will use them again myself.

We had DeShano Companies replace a wraparound porch and add a deck to our cottage in Northern Michigan last summer. I did a lot of shopping around to find a contractor. I am a trial attorney who has litigated more than a hundred construction disputes and know the questions to ask and the things to watch out for. With that background, I cannot say enough good words about DeShano -- Jeff Zettel worked with us through several plan iterations until we finally settled on the scope of work.

The specs were complete; the price reasonable and fair; its workers showed up on the day DeShano said they would; it completed the job within the original schedule; when the job was done, the Job Superintendent, Scott Hillier, pointed out some things that should be redone that we did not even notice; DeShano did those things quickly and without complaint; and the quality is exceptional. Chad DeShano, Jeff Zettel, Scott Hillier, and everyone at the company were always friendly and accessible. I give them an A+++++++++++++ rating! Bill Schlecte, Attorney

We had DeShano Companies put a new roof on our office building and did a remodel in the basement of our home. It was all done in a timely manner, was a quality job, and the clean-up was immaculate! Chad & Jeff were very professional & great to deal with.

We selected DeShano to build our log-sided home back in 2010. Housing and new builds were at an all-time low. DeShano took advantage of that by adding extra crews to finish the house in 6 months. Six years later we had some issues with the installation of our log siding on dormers and chimney. DeShano came in, at their expense, and righted the wrong.

They are a great company to work with from start to finish and even in unusual circumstances such as we had. We trust their integrity and would choose them again. Thank you DeShano for building our home, standing behind your word, and giving us our home back again!

When we decided to make our "cabin" a home and retire, we hired DeShano to completely gut the existing dwelling and add a two-story addition, along with all new plumbing, electrical, hard foam insulation, heating and air conditioning -- basically it was a new house. They did a FANTASTIC job! All the workers were professional and DeShano stood behind their warranties 100%. We will always use this company for any building needs.

We love our log house up north, and the complete experience of building this home with DeShano Companies was terrific. We have had no issues ever since the house was built in 2012. Jeff was extremely knowledgeable in helping with all the details of the plan, and Scott as foreman was great to work with. The quality for the price was outstanding, and I would recommend this builder to anyone considering building a home in central and northern lower Michigan. Greg and Luda.

DeShano built my house and did an excellent job. Even my neighbor who's a retired builder commented on the quality and workmanship. There was a manufacturer defect in the flooring. When the manufacturer tried to dump it on the installer they tore out the bad material and absorbed the loss, which was more than a little money. The company is very professional and everything is in writing and done with a signed contract. There's a lot of overhead and probably costs more but it's done right.

We were very pleased with new bathroom. Trevor, the project manager, made sure everything was finished to our specifications. We will call Deshano again for future projects.

I don't know deshano what I do know as a builder employee in Detroit michigan. Ice and water shield is not always needed please contact a roofing specialist this is more a feature all that's required is underlayment also known as felt ice and water shield can be added to your roof very cheap. Drywall dust and candy wrappers pick them up please. The only legit complaint could be improper frameing and again if your walls arnt shifting you'll be okay.

I think this complaint is just rude. If that's your complaint is candy wrappers and they didn't sweep very well just a basic sweep it would Seam as if you hired some good builders they put it up there dude! Come on :

Terrible quality construction. We purchased a DeShano home and had the builders warranty transferred to our name. Since then we have made several claims per the warranty and learned that the only person the warranty protects is DeShano. Our DeShano built home includes, no ice and water shield, buried electrical boxes, cut floor joist, improper framing, missing insulation, missing drainage tile, and voids under the concrete basement floor, all of which speak to the lack of quality building practices. Cigarette buts, candy wrappers, and garbage in the walls, as well as piles of drywall dust under the carpet speak to the lack of care. Choose a different builder.

Terrible builders, everything is sub contracted. have mold in my roof. they went bankrupt instead of fixing problem. i know of 3 other homeowners affected by poor construction and no help in fixing the problems. DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE NOT TRUST WORTHY!
