Doug and his crew is extremely pleasant to work with. They're responsive and?courteous throughout the time of the project. I especially appreciate how they?tended to details. My only complaint is the final price is about $1000 above the initial estimation because of the extra hours needed. But the finished work is very satisfactory.

It was a very positive experience - from the initial phone call to the final product. ?Doug Fox (owner) promptly returned my call, listened to what I needed done, and was out to review the job within 24 hours. ?He was very straightforward about how he and his crew approached a job, ?and the work was started within three days. ?The workers were very professional, arriving as promised and completed the work within the estimated time. ?Before submitting any invoice, Doug wanted to do a "walk through" to make sure not only we, but he as well, were satisfied with the work. I am very pleased with the results and plan to use Wolverine again in the future for any painting / home improvement projects. I would recommend Wolverine Custom Painting, LLC. without reservation.

We recently purchased a condo in the Ann Arbor area. ? With only 10 days between closing on the condo and the arrival of our moving trucks, we contacted Wolverine Custom Painting LLC and asked if it was possible to completely repaint the condominium. ?We have over 2,000 sq. ft., cathedral ceilings and a personal preference for dark ceilings and light walls--which is a challenge when you have an older home and wonky ceiling/wall seems. Douglas met with us very quickly after our first phone call. ?He prepared a bid proposal that was accurate--until we kept adding things to the job. ?Including the fact that his painters would have to juggle around the floor refinishing team. ? Communication was excellent. ?Responsiveness was excellent. ?The quality of the workmanship is amazing. ?We are so happy with the paint job. I highly recommend Wolverine Custom Painting LLC. ? I felt like Dougal treated our home like he would his own home. ?The conscientiousness, meticulousness, neatness of the job was beyond our expectations. ?I will never try painting rooms by myself again, the difference between professional painting and DIY painting is amazing.
Description of Work: Complete interior of 2,000 sq foot condo, including cathedral ceilings and stair wells.

We were very pleased with Doug's work. He responded to our initial contact promptly, came to our home and inspected the ceilings in question (they had a large, ugly stucco-like starburst pattern all over them), and explained that, depending on how easily the pattern scraped off, he could try two or three possible approaches, with the goal of keeping our labor cost as low as possible while getting the job done. The work involved a couple of full work days plus a number of short visits to allow layers of mud to dry, be sanded, patched, re-sanded, primed, painted. Throughout the process, Doug and his assistant were professional, respectful of our home (and cat), and meticulous in their workmanship. Doug walked us through everything he'd done, showing receipts for materials and explaining what they'd done each day, as well as having us inspect the work carefully, before submitting his bill to us. We would definitely work with this company again, and would recommend it wholeheartedly to those who need painting/repair work done.

Thank you so much for your business and for reviewing our company as well. Please feel free to call us in the future for a free estimate or free advice on any project.
I could not recommend this team more highly. In addition to extreme professionalism, reliability and attention to detail, technical skill is very impressive. And Doug Fox has been scrupulous in working with me in advance to outline expectations, cost estimates, materials choices, etc. as well as post-job in documenting time & materials for invoicing. He maintains a very tidy work area and clean-up is meticulous. The greenhouse required both art and science -- I presented them with a garageful of assorted old wooden windows, shutters, glass block and miscellaneous materials, and a vague sketch of the "shabby chic" flower-starting garden building I had in mind. Doug did a great deal of online research about similar "upcycling" projects and showed me his findings. Then the duo organized the materials, mulled design possibilities and tested options, keeping my general size parameters in mind. Best of all, they were engaged and interested in the job and seemed to enjoy the challenge. (They also were very kind and tolerant of my pesty little Chihuahuas when the dogs took a break in the yard.) To my absolute astonishment and delight, they turned that oddball collection of old materials into a generous-sized, symmetrical, beautiful "vintage-look" greenhouse that is the envy of all who see it. he basic frame of 4x4s was perfectly placed and braced with extra wood while the cement cured. Many of the windows and shutters they designed in to be active to allow for ventilation. Doug and Nate also figured out how to incorporate some old glass block that had sentimental value to me, and they replaced some deteriorated window glass and sealed the rest, so the old windows didn't detract from the functionality of the greenhouse. They found an antique door in my garage rafters, cut it down to size, inset it with a spare casement window and it made the perfect entryway for the greenhouse. They came up with a roofing solution that utilized some old storm windows and withstood this bitter, snowy winter weather with nary a leak, crack or sag. When I decided to line part of the inside rear roof with tin ceiling tiles, they figured out how to do so without compromising the interior design. I entered the greenhouse today and it's warm and dry. If you have a job that requires creativity, enthusiasm and initiative in additional to technical skill, this is the team you want! I look forward to having Doug do more carpentry, remodeling and painting at my home in the coming months and years.
Description of Work: Doug Fox and his colleague Nate Scott built for me a 9 x 6 backyard greenhouse, from scratch and with no design or architectural plan to work with. They also did a number of interior repairs and changes in my 1947 bungalow including roll-out organizational drawers in the kitchen, additional closet shelves and more.

Thank you for reviewing our company. Your project was challenging and tons of fun to be a part of. I enjoyed every moment. Thank you for allowing me to utilize my professional skills as a carpenter. Please give us a call anytime in the future for professional services or free advice on any project.
Doug and his crew completed the agreed upon work professionally and according to schedule. This was really important since I had other work scheduled and things needed to happen in a particular order in a small window of time. The end results exceeded my expectations. In addition, they were able to complete a variety of things that I had been wanting to attend to for a long while. This included a bathroom sink replacement, wood fence repair, patching and painting, toilet repair, and other things that I am probably forgetting. Though this is the first time I am reviewing Wolverine Custom Painting, I have used them for many services since 2012, not only for my own residence, but also for work needed on rental properties. In the past, Wolverine Custom Painting has helped me with everything from light handyman work to a remodel on a rental property that was built in the 1890's (and in extreme rough shape when I purchased it). Being more than satisfied with their work, I continue to hire them and would recommend them to others as a quality option. Thank you, Wolverine Custom Painting!
Description of Work: Doug and his partner retro fit new cabinets to match our existing kitchen cabinets and installed/built in a space for a new dishwasher. In addition, they demo'd the old countertop and leveled/prepped cabinets for the new countertop install, along with a variety of other painting and handyman services.

My experience with Wolverine was wonderful from beginning to end. My home is a geodesic dome which presents angle issues when replacing countertops and placement/design of cabinets. Doug redesigned a large angled corner by adding an angled placement of a new cabinet at eye level which was previously plain countertop space too deep to be useful. The storage space under this area was not disturbed. An additional unused angled space on the opposite side of the kitchen was filled with an additional cabinet giving more storage space in the form of a closed cabinet as opposed to the open inaccessible space that was there before the remodeling. These fresh ideas made such a huge difference in the appearance of the kitchen. My opinion was invited with each new idea and every item purchased for the remodel including such small things as cabinet door knobs. The work was professional and precise. Doug and his crew were a pleasure to work with and to say I was pleased with the outcome is an understatement! Excellent craftsmanship in every respect. I now have a beautiful, modern kitchen. Highly recommend Wolverine for any remodeling need.
