Contractors in South Lyon

“If you’re considering a major exterior renovation, I cannot recommend John McCarter Construction highly enough.

They recently completed a major project on our nearly 100-year-old home that included a new roof, siding, gutters, front door, and a custom-built portico. The transformation has been remarkable. It truly looks like a new house. In fact, we regularly have neighbors stop to ask who did the work and tell us how beautiful everything looks.

What stood out from the very beginning was how organized and professional the entire process was. From the initial sales meetings to project management to the crews doing the work, everything was well communicated, methodical, and exactly as promised. They did what they said they would do, when they said they would do it. There were no surprises, no wondering whether people would show up, and no excuses.

Because our home is almost 100 years old, the project came with its share of unexpected discoveries. Once the old siding was removed, they found areas of rotted wood and structural issues where supports had not been properly installed over the years. We also discovered that there was very little insulation in many parts of the house. Every issue was explained clearly, along with the options for addressing it. Rather than treating these discoveries as opportunities to drive up the cost, they were incredibly fair and reasonable with the pricing. They replaced a significant amount of rotted wood, corrected structural issues, and essentially insulated the entire house as they went. The value they provided through that additional work was tremendous.

I especially want to recognize John, our project manager. He was exceptional. On what felt like a daily basis, he checked in to explain what work would be happening, kept us updated on progress, and immediately addressed any questions or concerns we had. His communication was outstanding, and he made what could have been a stressful project feel very manageable.

Keith and the siding crew did outstanding work as well. I wish I could remember everyone’s names because every single person we interacted with was terrific. The door installers were excellent, the painter who finished the front door did an exceptional job, and every crew member we encountered was courteous, professional, respectful of our property, and clearly took pride in their work. They worked hard, worked efficiently, cleaned up after themselves, and paid close attention to detail.

The craftsmanship throughout the project was exceptional. The portico is beautiful, the siding work is flawless, and the new front door looks less like a door and more like a stunning piece of furniture.

Most importantly, the entire team was a pleasure to have around. We always felt comfortable having them at our home because they were genuinely nice people who treated both us and our property with respect.

This was a large and complicated project on a nearly century-old home, and John McCarter Construction exceeded our expectations at every turn. I would recommend them without hesitation to family, friends, or anyone looking for a contractor who delivers outstanding workmanship, excellent communication, fairness, and professionalism.“

“After another flooring company left me on my own after ripping up all my carpet and telling me my floors weren’t level and they couldn’t help, I truly felt helpless and devastated! Well, that is until Anthony stepped in. I reached out to locals on social media for immediate help and from my very first conversation with Anthony, he was professional, honest, knowledgeable, and incredibly reassuring during this stressful situation.
Not only did he come over that night to take a look, he went out of his way to come back two days later to help me in a pinch! He fixed the floors that day! The attention to detail, craftsmanship, and pride he takes in his work is unmatched. He showed up when he said he would, communicated every step of the process, and genuinely cared about making things right.
What could have been a nightmare for me turned into one of the best contractor experiences I have ever had. If you want someone reliable, skilled, and trustworthy, look no further. Anthony truly saved the day, and I could not be happier with the final result. Floor company came back out and immediately approved his work and laid the floors! Highly, highly recommend him!“

“Mark does great work. His team have done several projects for me, from small to big. New baseboards, new front entry door, tore down a wall and opened my house up visually, complete new master bathroom. Easy to work with.“

“Paul remodeled one of our bathrooms from top to bottom and is currently in the process of renovating a second. He also installed new flooring in our basement recreation room. His pricing is fair, and the quality of his work is outstanding, with excellent attention to detail.

We recently had a licensed architect over to discuss plans for a four-seasons room. While looking around, he noticed the bathroom Paul had renovated and asked who had done the work, commenting that it was done extremely well.

Paul also built a beautiful subway-tiled walk-in shower at my mom’s house, and she’s absolutely thrilled with it.

Beyond being a skilled and reliable contractor, Paul is also a genuinely nice guy.

We recommend him without hesitation.“

“Our new home at Gramercy Ridge is the 5th home we have have built. There were a few bumps along the path, but far fewer than have had with other homes and the issues were quickly resolved to our satisfaction. Darlene, Carol, Mike, John and the rest of the staff were outstanding! I would highly recommend!“
