For over 25 years Great Lakes Custom Builder has been an expert in both new construction developments and remodel projects of public, private, nonprofit homes, condominiums, apartment buildings and offices. Great Lakes Custom Builder has established a reputation for delivering the highest level of craftsmanship, creating beautiful homes and custom interiors, with relentless attention to details in every aspect of every project. We build custom homes throughout the Metro Detroit area.
At GLCB, we strive to deliver solutions rather than just identifying problems. We don’t say we’re done until there is absolutely nothing else to be completed, presented or finished before moving on to the next task. When clients make requests, we try to answer “YES” — and everyone is a client in our book, which means everyone is treated with the respect that our clients deserve.
Great Lakes Custom Builder is led by a team of professionals who remain at the top of the industry in terms of experience and accreditation.
