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 and the surrounding Washtenaw County 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
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 remodeling 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

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 Remodel in Ann Arbor?
Every Clark and Aldine project is priced individually. Cost is driven by scope, not square footage: how much structure moves, which systems need replacing, and the level of finish you want. We work through all of it in a thorough pre-construction phase, so scope, materials, and timeline are fully resolved before a single wall comes down. When you reach out, the inquiry form lets you share the investment range you have in mind, and the next step is a conversation.
From first conversation to final walk-through.
A clear, design-led path from idea to move-in day.
Step 01 — Discover
We begin with a conversation. Your vision, your timeline, your home. We listen carefully and determine whether we are the right team for the work ahead.
Step 02 — Design
A design-led pre-construction phase — architectural planning, finish direction, and a fully scoped proposal with transparent timeline and investment.
Step 03 — Build
Construction led by a working general contractor, documented weekly through Buildertrend, and carried through to final styling.

Frequently ASked Questions
Do you work directly in Ann Arbor, or only in Plymouth?
1
We are based in Plymouth and work regularly throughout Ann Arbor and the surrounding Washtenaw County 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.

Let's Talk About Yours.
Tell us what you’re thinking about.
You don’t need plans. You don’t need a budget worked out. You don’t need to know whether it’s a kitchen or the whole first floor. Most people who call us are somewhere in the middle of figuring that out, and that’s a perfectly good place to start.
Fill this out and you’ll hear back within 48 business hours from someone who can actually answer your questions — not an assistant taking a message. We’ll talk it through, come see the house, and tell you honestly what we think it’ll take.
If you’d rather just talk, call 734-928-7921.
