We had a really poor experience with Dexter Builders. We hired them to do a kitchen and bath remodel. Poor communication and poor planning led to lots of mistakes during the project, and lots of conflict with our project manager. It was a very stressful 6+ months for us because of this. One of our biggest disappointments was Tony Push, a partner in Dexter Builders.
We appealed to him for help early on, after too many screaming matches with the project manager had us fed up. He said he'd come talk to us. He never showed up until the very end of the project, when we were having yet another conflict with our project manager about yet another Dexter Builders mistake. Even then, Tony was very confrontational and unprofessional, leaving me feeling like he wouldn't have helped matters even if he had shown up months earlier when we first asked for help. I would not recommend Dexter Builders to anyone.

Jake Manderfield and his crew just completed replacing badly cracked concrete in my home. When he made the estimate he noted that the porch foundation was inadequate, and the roof had a slight tilt. This had escaped me, my family and the house inspector. The new concrete includes a deep footer to stabilize the porch and roof now! In addition to a quick and professional job the crew returned to repair the damage caused by an Amazon driver walking across the wet concrete while making a delivery. Jake took my call and immediately had the crew over to fix it and everything is perfect. I highly recommend Dexter Builders!

Had a serious project with someone running into my garage through a brick wall. Dexter builders were great. Not only did they present a reasonable bid, they did a wonderful job. We had to use the framing guys, the Dexter block guys, drywall and finish carpenters. Every one of them were professional, personable and proficient at their skills. Scott LaCoe did an amazing job at coordinating the entire project.
Even with construction materials delay they kept us informed and the project moving along. Marcus was the initial carpenter who supported that apart of the building well. The framing guys arrived with the new windows that needed installed. Then the Brick guys came and Greg was a master at his brick-laying craft. This was followed by the drywall guys who made the repairs disappear.
Mark who was the finish carpenter was an absolute perfectionist at his job, the wood work looks amazing. Steve the painter followed with his excellent finishing work. My wife and i are so thankful we hired these guys. All of their specialties are inhouse or are contracted to guys they know well. The work was done excellently and their work ethic and professionalism was unmatched.
They finished the job for the estimated cost. only delay was getting the windows in from the supplier due to COVID19. We are very thankful for Dexter Builders, if we have another construction job they will be our first call. I would recommend them to you without any reservations.

Thank you to Dexter Builders! We recently had your team come out to fix some dry wall holes caused by our puppy who thinks wood corners are chewable and you also replaced some rotted wood beams outside our house and did an amazing paint job as well! Your team were so nice and accommodating. Highly recommend this crew and the amazing work they do!

Professional, knowledgeable and punctual. Gave us great advise on our kitchen garden window and backsplash. Couldn't be happier with the expertise of the entire staff. Rachel was a dream to work with and went the extra mile to be sure we were taken care of. She got back to us quickly with even the smallest question. Definitely check out Dexter Builders!

Dexter Builders did a nice job of reconfiguring our garage access from two small doors with a post in-between into one large garage door. There were initially some issues obtaining a permit from the city because of structural implications. Dexter Builders did a great job of going back and forth with the city and ultimately solving the issue so our project could go on as scheduled. We are happy with the overall look and would use Dexter Builders again.

Update November 2019 - I'm updating this review to five stars based on another significant remodel Dexter Builders did for us in 2019---this time a master bath renovation. Project Manager Rachel did a great job keeping us informed as the project proceeded. She very effectively handled coordination and follow up with vendors, subs, and tradespeople keeping our project progressing smoothly.
My previous comments about DB from 2018 still apply. 2018 - Dexter Builders did a significant remodel to a 25-year old home we purchased this year. They removed interior walls, installed wood flooring, built a new laundry room, added new kitchen cabinets, did extensive electrical, plumbing, and mechanical upgrades, and installed a new roof. All of their service personnel and sub contractors were polite, hardworking, and skilled in their craft.
The project manager and senior management were attentive to our needs and responded quickly when the occasional difficulty arose. We thought the price charged was fair and the company ethical in its business dealings. We would use them again.

Dexter Builders built us a great new deck. The old one had seen much better days and was demolished by their crew in short order. Working up an improved footprint with Dexter Builders went well. We appreciated the ideas they brought to the table and they provided some excellent advice on tradeoffs in materials and design. The final price was within the range we had been quoted by others. Based on our prior experience with Dexter in a kitchen remodel, we knew we would be happy going with them.
The build when well - crew was considerate of our needs and kept the grounds clear of debris. A few extras/design changes were well accommodated and we now enjoy our backyard from the perspective of our finished deck.

Last summer we had a new roof put on by Dexter Builders. The work was fast and very high quality. SO. This fall we had new siding, shutters and rain gutters put on. Once again it was done as fast as possible with great attention to detail. We were very pleased with both jobs and would highly recommend their services. Larry and Cecilia Robinson, Whitmore Lake.
