About us

Founded in 2008, award-winning Better World Builders is Southwest Michigan’s premier Home Performance Contractor and your one-stop shop for everything related to energy efficiency. Our team of experts has an intimate understanding of building science that allows us to create custom plans to make even the oldest homes perform like new. The average person spends 90% of their time indoors, and Better World Builders team wants to make your indoor spaces as comfortable, safe, durable, and efficient as possible. Our mission is to create added home value through healthy, resilient, and energy-efficient homes. We help our clients take control of their energy use and indoor air quality environments. Every home is made up of many systems. These include roofing systems; insulation systems; siding, door, and window systems; heating, cooling and ventilation systems; and water control systems. When these systems work well together, you can have an efficient and valuable Home Performance property. When these systems are old or not working, your home and family can be vulnerable to high energy bills, uncomfortable rooms, icicles, mold, increased costs for maintenance surprises, and may even be more susceptible to severe weather events. Better World Builders is a full-service Home Performance Contractor and can coordinate the right repairs, replacements, and retrofits with trusted service and tested results all with one call! We don’t guess, WE TEST!

I was highly impressed with Mark Lee and his company, Better World Builders. He was very thorough and an excellent communicator, explaining each step along the way and making sure all my questions were answered. As a customer, I could tell he really cared about his work -- it's not just a job for him. And he was honest, letting me know when improvements would not be worth my investment and focusing me on the best place to make future investments. I strongly recommend Mark Lee and Better World Builders.
Description of Work: Provided a full energy audit which included: (1) HVAC inspection; (2) attic inspection; (3) infra-red camera testing; (4) testing airtightness; and (5) testing duct leakage. In addition, provided several recommendations for future efficiency-gaining improvements, tiered in terms of priorities and with estimated costs.

From the beginning to the end, the service was exceptional. The craftsmen and site manager were knowledgeable and skilled. The work was completed on a acceptable schedule and we were kept informed about any and all delays and unexpected needs. As with any older home there were some unforeseen circumstances. The jobsite was kept organized and the area was policed and cleaned at the end of each workday. My wife and my needs and comfort were always considered. This was a huge commitment for us to invest in our home and we feel that we were treated well and our needs were considered and met at every juncture of the job. We are very pleased each time we drive up to our house, open one of the new windows, enjoy the quiet, and realize the savings from the investment. We feel that our money was well spent and our needs were met. BWB not only dealt with the nuts and bolts of the home improvement, but evaluated energy needs and explained the concepts and they were instrumental in the financing of the project. Suffice it to say, we are pleased and wouldn't hesitate to recommend BWB to family and friends.
Description of Work: Siding, windows, new and upgraded insulation. Prior to the work there was a thorough evaluation of energy costs and based on that evaluation, recommendations about renovations were made.
