Everything you need to know about working with Odyssey Construction — from your first call to the final walkthrough.
Odyssey Construction has been serving Michigan homeowners for over 20 years. In that time we've completed hundreds of remodeling projects and custom builds across Southeast and South-Central Michigan — Oakland, Macomb, Wayne, Washtenaw, Livingston, Genesee, Lapeer, Ingham, Jackson, Monroe, and surrounding counties.
Yes. Odyssey Construction is a licensed Michigan Builder and carries full liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. We're happy to provide documentation before any project begins.
We serve all of Southeast and South-Central Michigan, including:
Not sure if we cover your area? Give us a call — we're happy to discuss.
Yes. Odyssey Construction is a full-service design-build firm. We coordinate design, permitting, and construction under one roof — meaning one team, one point of contact, and no miscommunication between a separate designer and contractor.
Timeline depends on the scope of the project. A standard kitchen remodel — new cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and appliances — typically takes 6 to 10 weeks from demo to completion. A full layout change with structural work can run longer. We'll give you a realistic schedule before signing anything.
Most bathroom remodels take 3 to 6 weeks. A tile shower replacement or vanity swap can be done in as little as two weeks; a full gut-and-rebuild of a primary bath will take longer. Your project manager will give you a specific timeline during planning.
In most cases, yes. We use dust barriers, protect flooring, and maintain clean, organized jobsites throughout the project. For whole-house renovations or projects that affect key systems (plumbing, electrical), we'll walk you through what to expect and help you plan accordingly.
Yes. We pull all required building permits and coordinate all necessary inspections. This is a non-negotiable part of how we operate — permitted work protects your investment, your insurance coverage, and your ability to sell the home in the future.
Our own licensed, background-checked crew handles the core work. When specialty trades are needed (electricians, plumbers, HVAC), we coordinate trusted subcontractors we've worked with for years. You'll always have a dedicated project manager as your single point of contact.
Yes. We can advise on lot suitability, soil conditions, utility access, and buildability — and we have relationships with local real estate professionals if you need help sourcing the right parcel. We want your site to set the build up for success before you close on it.
Yes. Our planning phase includes detailed architectural drawings. We also work with 3D rendering tools to help you visualize the finished home before a shovel hits the ground. Getting the design right upfront saves time, money, and headaches during the build.
A typical custom home build in Southeast Michigan takes 12 to 18 months from breaking ground to handing over keys — depending on size, complexity, and permit timelines. The design and planning phase adds time before that. We'll give you a realistic project schedule during your initial consultation.
Cost varies significantly based on square footage, site conditions, finishes, and structural choices. We don't publish price-per-square-foot estimates because they rarely hold up to the specifics of a real project. What we do offer is a transparent, itemized budget built around your actual plans — so you know exactly where every dollar is going before you commit.
Yes. We partner with investors and developers to build quality spec homes designed to move. We bring the same licensed craftsmanship and transparency to investor projects as we do to custom homes. Learn more about our spec home partnerships.
Contact us for a free initial consultation. We'll discuss your project, walk the space, and develop a detailed scope and estimate. We don't give ballpark numbers over the phone — a real estimate requires understanding your specific home and goals.
Yes, financing options are available for qualified homeowners. We work with several programs to help make your project a reality. Visit our financing page for general information, and contact us to discuss what's available for your specific project.
Our payment schedules are tied to project milestones — not arbitrary dates. We'll outline a clear schedule in the contract before work begins. We don't ask for large upfront payments, and we don't invoice ahead of completed work.
Yes. We stand behind our work. Warranty terms vary by project type and scope — we'll walk you through exactly what's covered during the contract review. For new construction, Michigan builder warranty standards apply.
The easiest way is to fill out our contact form or call us directly at (734) 776-2415. We'll schedule a free consultation at your home and take it from there. No pressure, no hard sell — just a conversation about what you're imagining.
You don't need much — just a general sense of what you want to change and roughly when you'd like to get started. If you have inspiration photos, Pinterest boards, or magazine clippings, bring them. Any ballpark budget range is also helpful, even if it's rough. We'll help you refine everything from there.
Yes. Our initial consultations are always free. We'll visit your home, listen to your goals, and give you an honest assessment of what's possible. There's no obligation to move forward.
Our schedule varies by season and current project load. We'll give you a realistic start date during the planning phase — and we won't rush the design work just to start sooner. A well-planned project runs smoother and finishes cleaner than one that's rushed to kick off.
