Residential Construction Consulting

Finding the right home in the current real estate market can be hard. Everyone knows that you needs a real estate agent to help you with the buying of your home, but most people don't realize that they should get a professional opinion on how much the renovations could end up costing you. A real estate agent can tell you what the house is worth and a house inspector can tell you in a general way what shape the house is in but neither of the them can accurately tell you how much the renovations that you want and require will cost. For a small fee Great Lakes Custom Homes will come out to your choice of home and give you an accurate cost and budget of what the renovations and repairs will cost you over and above the cost of the house. This will help you to decide if you should buy the house and it also can give you more information to negotiate the deal with the seller.

If you buy the house and hire Great Lakes Custom Homes to do the renovations then the cost of the consultation will be deducted from your first bill.

If you require help with a build that you already have underway or you are looking for a second opinion then we can come out and give you some advice. We can also be the go between you and your contractor or tradesmen if you require it.

Great Lakes Custom Homes can supply you with reliable high quality tradesmen for the renovations that you are trying to complete. For a small fee added to your bill we will help organize those trades that are hard to find.
