Swartz Builders

They were professional, came in at the estimated cost, cleaned up after themselves and overall did a great job. The chimney work perfectly blends with out home. The fireplaces our working for the first time in years. I cannot think of why I would not use them in the future. They did a great job.

Best renovation/construction project ever! Such a beautiful outcome! Received detailed/thorough estimate up front from Aaron Byer. Bonus was working with a designer (Heidi Parris-recommended by Aaron) who helped provide support with esthetic decisions (cabinets, faucets and fixtures, lighting, counter tops, etc.) Our project manager was Mike Baker and he went above and beyond to ensure our bathroon was perfect - good communication, professional, hard worker and knowledgeable. Amazed that the dust was kept to a minimum during demolition, and he left the house everyday with it all neat and tidy. He was a great liaison between us, Aaron and the subcontractors. When we ran into a couple of hiccups (rotted floor, new tile person than original quoter), Swartz was fair and there was clear communication. And the subcontractors with whom Swartz does business were amazing, too! Their tile guy is an artist! The electricians, drywallers and plumbers were great and made great suggestions. The cabinets are fabulous - we were initially going to reface but wound up having to get new cabinets and these Pioneer cabinets are beautiful. We found that Swartz was expensive, but you really do get what you pay for - the quality of our final product is wonderful! And Heidi (the designer) was worth her weight in gold - I was overwhelmed with all the decisions and it was so nice to work with someone who had product resources (Advance Plumging and the Tile Shop in Farmington were her suggestions and we had success at both places; lighting ideas on-line; granite, etc) and solid ideas and suggestions. I am grateful for everyone who had a hand in this project! We worked with quality people, paid them accordingly, and we got a quality outcome! I would use Swartz Builders and Heidi Parris again in a heartbeat! I wish we had used them on earlier projects!! I highly recommend their services.

Workmanship began six weeks after signing of contract. The workman were prompt and efficient, especially Mike. Most of the concerns were addressed in a helpful and professional manner. The crews worked diligently to meet our deadline. Clean up was very much to our satisfaction. There was a misunderstanding with the recommended cabinet/countertop company as to the look of the formica ordered. I suggest all of the contracts be very specific. My disappointment was resolved at further cost to me. All in all, I am very satisfied with Swartz Builders.

They did great work, were on time and quoted a fair price. We will be hiring them again in the near future. I highly recommend this company.

I left a message for Aaron in the afternoon and he returned my call within hours. Aaron was very polite and professional. Since the work we need done is on the small side, Aaron offered to put me in touch with a couple of reputable local drywall installers that he has worked with. He said this would save us money and might be the better way to go. I really appreciated Aaron's timely response, as well as his honesty.

our experience with Swartz was very positive. With any remodel there are going to be unexpected problems and unforeseen costs. When these situations happened the Swartz people handled them very timely and professionally. My wife and I are very low key and private people and were dreading the intrusion in our lives. All of the contractors they used were cordial and pleasant to have in our home. In closing I would like to add that Aaron,Michael and Philip from Swartz were great to work with and went above and beyond what was expected.

I never used Swartz, but would love to in the near future since he was so good to me in providing referrals to his key tile guys.

They are wonderful and very professional. They came on time and informed told me everything I needed to know.

Aaron spent extra time talking about our future remodel goals and was extremely thoughtful and responsive to my questions.

I called Swartz to have an estimate provided for replacing our stairs. I needed replacement treads, railings, stringers, newels and balusters. Aaron responded very quickly to my phone call and organized the estimate. This meant finding a time for him to come out along with both the stair and finish specialist. This was done in a matter of days. They were very helpful with design, as well as planning. The estimate was very detailed and comprehensive. They were responsive to concerns and adjustments. Although we elected to go with a stair specialty contractor, we plan on using Swartz in the future for other remodeling projects.

Aaron from Swartz came out and took a look at our master bathroom remodel. He gave us a ball park estimate that we liked and we decided to proceed with a full detailed bid on the project. Aaron set up a day and time for all of his trades to come out and look at the project and submit bids. The following week we received a very detailed 5 page estimate for the project where Aaron outlined all work to be done and the cost for labor and materials for each trade. Unfortunately in our case his final bid was higher than his ballpark estimate. We really appreciated Aaron and his professionalism. His prices are fair and quite competitive compared to other general contractors in the area. Due to budget constraints we're moving forward and contracting all the work ourselves. It is not our preferred outcome since we would have loved to work with Swartz and have them take care of the project for us. We do plan to have them bid on future projects.

Aaron returned our phone call promptly; but we were very disappointed that, after all the time and research we put into selecting this company, Aaron told us they do not do work in our area, even though our county (Macomb) is listed on the website and in their Angie's list information. Aaron did provide us with a drywall company he highly recommended located in Flint, way out of our area.

I am still exploring options and gathering estimates. I expect the job to begin soon.

I had Aaron from Swartz Builders come out to our house to look a roof repair job, a furnace room that needed rebuilding and small powder room in our basement. He was very prompt in getting back to me. He spent over an hour at our home going through how best to approach each problem, as all the projects had some odd issues. In the end, he felt that the work was better left to a good handyman but gave me lots of useful information on how to address some of our problems. I will definitely call him again when I’m ready to tackle my larger projects like our kitchen and kids bath.

This seems like a company with a high reputation and a lot of customers. Aaron was very courteous and up-front with me over the phone, and my experience with the company overall has been very good so far.

This was an insurance job so unfortunately I was not able to use Swartz. I would call them again in a minute.

Swartz was very easy to work with. They cleaned up the basement frequently. They kept me informed of exactly what was going on. We were delighted with the results.

The company returned my call for a quote within 24 hours and the representative was attentive to my requirements. He made sure to understand the scope of the project before giving me the rough estimate I was looking for. If we decide to have the renovation performed, we will definitely consider Swartz.

Obviously, I did not hire them, but am disappointed that it took so long to return my call after all the research I did on Angie's list in choosing the companies to call for an estimate. From the previous reviews it appears they are good company to work with.

I contacted Swartz during the early of the business day. Understood it may be a few hours before someone would get back with me, but no, I received a phone call right way. I just figured busy with prior projects, etc. Anyway, as much as they wanted to help me with my situation, they had to decline, but for the only reason was I was too far out of their area. However, the gentlemen I spoke with has another contact closer to my area the he referred me to and everything worked out very well. The only qualm was my house was out of their service area which is understandable , but they offered an alternative that worked out very well. Thanks Swartz !!!! A+ for Outstanding Care and Service.

I did not choose them and have basically held up on what I am going to do. They were prompt and professional and I may use them again in the future.

I am a repeat customer of Swartz builders, and remain convinced that they are the premier builder/contractor in metro Detroit, if not the state. Every step of the process, from bidding the job to final painting, was handled with the highest level of professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction. To me, there are five things that distinguish Swartz, and make them the company they are. They are: The professionalism of their people Taking pride in the work that they do Their punctuality, responsiveness, and respect of your home and family Their unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction The quality of their subcontractors Over the course of several weeks, Swartz completed major renovations to my kitchen, bathroom, and minor jobs in my master bedroom and laundry room. The end results are fantastic, and the result of the above mentioned qualities. From the very beginning, Aaron (the owner) was involved in every phase of the project. He came to our home several times during the bidding process to address questions and gain a detailed understanding of our expectations. On the first day of the project, he met one of his employees, Bernie, to go over every single detail of the job. Mid-project, Aaron came out to review progress and ensure that I was satisfied with everything to that point. He took a personal interest in our renovation, which is a reflection of his high integrity. This integrity is reflected in everyone at Swartz Builders. Aaron holds his company to a high standard, and it shows. His people are always professionally dressed, clean, do not swear, use tobacco, or listen to music on the job site. Bernie and Mike were the two main Swartz people who managed my project on a daily basis. They were never late, showed up every day, and worked all day. They were always respectful, and considerate of the fact that they were in a busy household with two young boys. Knowing that young children were around, every effort was made to maintain as safe a working environment as possible. Every effort was taken to contain construction mess, and protect my home from unnecessary dust/dirt, etc. Bernie was around more at the beginning of the project to coordinate demolition of the old, and begin the renovation process. He did all of the bathroom framing work, and installation of the new vanity. He also installed some of the kitchen cabinets, and coordinated much of the subcontractor work. He was a pleasure to have around, so much so, that my 6 and 4 year old boys were actually excited to see him every morning. His focus on customer satisfaction is outstanding, and he is a meticulous craftsman who takes pride in his work. He is a gentleman, is courteous, and a great person to have around. Later in the project, things transitioned to Mike, who finished the cabinet installation, completed all of the trim work, and finished up all of the remaining facets of the project. Mike?s finish carpentry skills are second to none. His attention to detail is incredible, and he truly is a craftsman. In the middle of the project, a plumbing issue arose in the kitchen, and Swartz? response to it was exceptional. Upon learning of the issue, Mike immediately arranged to meet the plumber at my house. Together, the resolved the issue, and actually uncovered and repaired an issue that was not at all related to the renovation. Mike knew I was getting ready to host a birthday party for my son the next day, and he was determined to have everything resolved prior to the party, which he did indeed accomplish. This is yet another example of their complete commitment to customer satisfaction. Both Bernie and Mike did an excellent job of managing the subcontractors (electrician, plumber, tile installer, etc.), and making sure all work was completed to my satisfaction. Aaron also managed the project exceptionally well. He called frequently to check on things and ask if everything was to my liking. He worked with me to manage costs, and in several cases, come in under budget and below the original estimates. Everything was communicated in a timely manner, which led to a very smooth project. The final phase of the project involved having Luke, one of Swartz? painters, paint the bathroom and kitchen. Like everyone else at Swartz, Luke was totally committed to our satisfaction. He took his time, elicited feedback, and did an excellent job. The rooms he painted are by far the best painted rooms in our entire house. From start to finish, Swartz builders were a pleasure to work with. As I mentioned above, I am a repeat customer, and will continue to use Swartz for any of my future projects. With Swartz Builders, the difference IStruly in the details.

Overall, they were good. I would rate them highly and would use them again in the future if necessary.

They never gave me an estimate. They came out and assessed the workload. They were very courteous and told me that because it was a small job, it would be too expensive for them to do. It would be cheaper for me to contract out the work on my own. They were professional and courteous. I appreciated the time they spent. They even recommended some outside people I could call for the work.

It was a very smooth remodel. What could have been a complete disaster, Swartz made it run like a well-oiled machine. They made sure their people were there on time, and went out of their way to get people there last minute when we needed surprise work done. They did all of this and didn't charge us an arm and a leg. But the best part of the experience was how honest they were, which is very hard to find when you need major work done on the house. It can feel like you are at the garage with your car and the mechanic is trying to screw you. I never once had this feeling with Swartz. They are very honest and concise. They have such a great knowledge of their trade that they were mostly right on the money when giving me estimates, and they were very quick to pick out the flaws of a previous estimate I received. They found the best and most cost effective methods for our work. In particular our kitchen floor, which was an absolute mess. Again I can't say it enough, if you need work done CALL SWARTZ!!!
