Contractors in East Lansing

“Their team was amazingly helpful and communicative. They made the entire process so easy! Highly recommend!“

“Mayberry built my home in East Lansing between August and November 2017. Therefore, I am reviewing their work after living in my home for over two years.. I had had a “not so great” experience with another local builder in the 1980s. Therefore, I entered the design and purchase of my home with Mayberry with wariness. Fortunately, my experience with Mayberry was highly positive.I worked with Kelly LeVeque in “designing” my home. She was highly attentive and great to work with. (I suggest that you ask for Kelly when you go to Mayberry. I started out with a different salesperson, but that person wasn’t working out for me.) Contrary to stories people tell about builders being rigid with their plans within their developments, working with Kelly, I was able to personalize my home. That included moving a closet and adding feathers including skylights, extra windows, a deck, and similar. We even added a sky tube in a bathroom. It’s a great source of light, bringing in more light than a skylight. Mayberry had not done one before, but they got it done for me.I was frustrated by some delays related to permitting. However, when the permits were finally all set, Gary, the site supervisor predicted that they get my home done within 90 days of the date when they started to dig the hole for my basement. I doubted that it would be possible, but they did! (That saved me from a lot of extra rent that I would have had to pay if I overstayed my lease where I was living temporarily.). And, I enjoyed visiting every day during construction. Everyone was kind and welcoming when I showed up on site. During construction, we met a “glitch” with the delivery of defective flooring. Mayberry took care of it immediately, and I ended up with even nicer flooring without an additional cost to me.After I moved into my home, there were a few glitches, but, in general, Dave Mittleman was quick to respond to my messages. One significant problem was water to backed up in my basement by my furnace. In the aftermath, as a way to make up for the inconvenience, Dave added something to my home beyond what they owed me.Finally, at closing, Mayberry gave me some thoughtful little gifts to help me during my move-in days.After living in my home for four years, I can verify that the construction methods that merited an Energy Star rating save me money on gas and electricity as compared to the house I owned previously. Now I do not feel drafts as I did in my previous home.Now to the words to the imperfections. You should someone else to do you kitchen pantry shelves as well as closet shelves. One of the kitchen shelves crashed down wishing months of when I moved in. It was held up only with thin nails. Mayberry fixed it but wouldn’t fix the others. I was told not to put heavy things on it. (That doesn’t work for me. A pantry is for cans, pots and pans, etc.) Two years after I moved in, a coat closet shelf and rack crashed in the middle of the night. The builders had only used thin finish nails to hold it up. I had to pay someone to come in and reinforce both of my coat closets. Fortunately, I had hired someone else to do my bedroom closets before I moved in.(2) Pay for an upgrade to the garbage disposal. It never worked well and I spent a lot of money on three visits from a plumber before replacing it. Neighbors have had similar problems(3) Pay for an upgrade on the dishwasher. Mine never worked well. I have a new one already.(4) Check placement of light switches in the basement. Mayberry put mine inside, around the door. I had to enter a dark basement to turn on lights. And, they were (and are) on only one switch. Finally, I hired an electrician to move the switches for safety.In closing, I would most likely work with Mayberry again, but I have learned some lessons about what to look for and what I should request as upgrades to avoid hassle and expense.“

“My roommates and I were completely blessed by Bel company! One night we had water leaking from our ceiling and two men came at 11pm and stayed until the leak was under control then returned the next morning at 9 am to check back with us. The repairs needed were extensive but the workers were detailed and professional. The house looks as good as new and completed sooner than we thought! Now that they're done and we are so thankful.Services: Install flooring“
