For Homeowners Who Want to Do This Once, and Do It Right.

You already know what you want from a home. You've lived in Ann Arbor long enough to know the neighborhood is right, the bones are worth investing in, and the only thing missing is a team that can actually lead the process from first sketch to finished room.

Clark and Aldine serves Ann Arbor, Northville, Plymouth, and the surrounding Southeast Michigan communities. We take on a small number of projects each year, and every one begins the same way: a long conversation about how you actually live.

What Is Possible When You Build or Remodel With Clark and Aldine

One integrated team. One accountable process. A home that is considered from every angle and built to last.

  • A home designed around how your family actually lives, not a floor plan pulled from a catalog

  • Full interior design included from the start, so nothing is left unresolved at the end

  • A construction process documented weekly through Buildertrend, so you always know what is happening

Ann Arbor Has Its Own Rules…

…and We Know Them

Building or renovating in Ann Arbor is not like building anywhere else in Southeast Michigan. Washtenaw County permitting, mature lot constraints, and neighborhood design standards in the Hills and West Side districts all shape what's possible before a single drawing is made. A team with genuine local experience accounts for all of it upfront.

Who We Are

The People Who Sign Off on Every Detail Are the Same People You'll Meet on Day One

Michael is a licensed general contractor who leads construction and project management across every project we take on in Ann Arbor and Southeast Michigan.

What Does It Cost to Build or Renovate in Ann Arbor?

Whole-home remodels with Clark and Aldine typically begin at $500,000, with signature kitchens starting at $250,000. Custom new construction begins at $1,500,000, exclusive of land. Every project is priced individually after a thorough pre-construction phase, where scope, materials, and timeline are fully resolved before a single wall comes down. If those numbers align with what you are considering, the next step is a conversation.

Frequently ASked Questions

Do you work directly in Ann Arbor, or only in Plymouth?

1

We are based in Plymouth and work regularly across Ann Arbor, Northville, and the surrounding Southeast Michigan communities. Ann Arbor is one of our primary markets.


What size projects do you take on?

2

We focus on whole-home remodels, signature kitchens, and custom new construction for Ann Arbor homeowners. We are not the right fit for smaller cosmetic work.


How far in advance do you book?

3

We maintain a 6 to 9 month forward pipeline by design, which means Ann Arbor clients who are planning ahead are the right clients for us. If you are considering a project in the next year, now is the right time to reach out.


Do you handle permitting in Ann Arbor?

4

Yes. Washtenaw County and City of Ann Arbor permitting is part of what we manage during the pre-construction phase. It is one of the reasons a locally experienced team matters for a project of this scale.


What does the first step look like?

5

A conversation. We talk through your home, your vision, and your timeline, and determine together whether we are the right fit for the work ahead.
