What makes AGH Construction different from other remodeling contractors?

We apply 32 years of GM mechanical engineering discipline to every project, which means we don’t eyeball measurements or guess at structural details. Our founder, Alfonso, spent three decades as a GM Mechanical Engineer before starting AGH Construction 20 years ago, and he brought that precision mindset to the job site. This engineering background isn’t just credential padding — it fundamentally changes how we approach remodeling work across the Detroit metro area, from Canton Township to Novi to Ann Arbor.

Unlike most remodeling contractors who juggle multiple subcontractors and cross their fingers that schedules align, we handle framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and finish carpentry in-house. That means one accountable team manages every aspect of your project from design through final walk-through. When your electrician, plumber, and framing crew all report to the same project manager, delays disappear and quality control tightens. Homeowners in the Novi area and Bloomfield Hills who’ve worked with us consistently mention how smoothly the job runs compared to their neighbors’ horror stories of contractor coordination chaos.

Our 20-year tile setter and custom millwork capabilities deliver fit and finish that goes beyond what standard remodeling contractors offer. We’ve earned consistent five-star reviews by paying meticulous attention to detail and delivering clean, precise work that matches your vision. When you’re investing in a bathroom remodel, kitchen renovation, or basement finishing project, those final details matter — perfectly sealed tile grout, cabinet joinery that feels solid, trim work that’s flush and level. That’s where engineering precision meets craftsmanship, and it’s what separates AGH Construction from contractors who treat finishing details as an afterthought.

We’re fully licensed and insured in Michigan, and we’ve served Southeast Michigan homeowners for two decades with a transparent approach to pricing, scheduling, and warranty. Your project gets the same structural rigor and coordinated execution that Alfonso learned managing complex mechanical systems at General Motors — because a basement remodel, kitchen upgrade, or bathroom transformation is actually a system that has to work flawlessly.

Do you handle the full remodel from start to finish, or do I need to hire other contractors?

We handle the full project end-to-end. Framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, finish carpentry, tile installation, custom millwork, and cabinet work all happen under one AGH Construction team. You don’t source materials from multiple vendors, coordinate overlapping crews, or wonder who’s responsible when something needs fixing.

If you have a preferred plumber or electrician, we welcome them on the job site and integrate them into our schedule. But most customers prefer our single-source accountability model, which simplifies the entire process and eliminates the chaos typical in Southeast Michigan renovation projects.

How long does a basement remodel or kitchen renovation typically take?

Timeline depends on scope. A basement remodel with framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, flooring, and finish work typically takes 8 to 14 weeks. Kitchen remodels (including custom cabinetry and countertops) usually run 6 to 10 weeks. Bathroom remodels range from 3 to 6 weeks depending on tile complexity and fixture upgrades.

We provide a detailed written schedule upfront, and because we manage all trades in-house, we avoid the subcontractor delays that stretch timelines across the Novi, Ann Arbor, and Canton area. Clear communication means no surprises on your move-in date.

What's included in your pricing, and are there hidden costs?

Our estimates are transparent. Labor, materials, permits, inspections, and all trades are itemized upfront. We quote fixed pricing on scope and timeline, with a written change order process if you decide to add features mid-project. No surprise markups, no vague “contingency fees,” and no hidden charges at close.

We carry full insurance coverage (liability and workers’ comp), and every crew member is bonded. Your investment is protected from day one, and you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we drive the first nail in Canton Township or any other location we serve.

How experienced is your crew with tile work and custom finishes?

Our tile setter brings 20+ years of hands-on experience and delivers fit and finish that sets us apart from standard contractor work. Intricate patterns, large-format tiles, seamless grout lines, and waterproofing behind every installation reflect our commitment to durability and aesthetics. Whether you’re upgrading a bathroom with marble, installing a kitchen backsplash, or creating a stunning shower surround, precision is built in.

We also manage custom millwork and cabinet design in-house, so your kitchen or bathroom reflects your vision with professional-grade joinery and finishes. Many homeowners in Northville, Bloomfield Hills, and surrounding areas choose us specifically for these high-end details.
