About Zischke Builders
More than 25 years of building, remodeling, and solving problems in Mid-Michigan.
Zischke Builders is a Mason-based remodeling and construction company serving homeowners throughout Greater Lansing and surrounding Mid-Michigan communities.
For more than 25 years, we have worked on everything from individual home repairs and improvements to finished basements, kitchens, bathrooms, decks, additions, commercial space, and complex remodeling projects. That matters because remodeling rarely stays neatly inside one trade, and experience helps when opening up an existing home reveals something unexpected.
Our job is to understand your vision and what you’re trying to accomplish, then plan the work carefully, coordinate the people and trades involved, and build something that works well for years to come.
Built for Remodeling
Remodeling starts with an existing house, existing systems, and decisions made decades ago. That is part of what makes the work interesting.
Our team is accustomed to working through the realities of existing homes: uneven framing, previous renovations, mechanical systems that need to remain accessible, and structural surprises. We also understand that you need to use your home during an ongoing project.
Our goal is to find the right solution for your home and the people living in it.
More Than Project Management
Zischke Builders provides the coordination expected from an experienced general contractor, but we also maintain our own staff with hands-on building and finish-carpentry experience.
That allows us to take on details that can make a major difference in a remodeling project, including custom built-ins, cabinetry, trim, stairs, wall treatments, and other finish work.
Looking for a contractor who can handle custom or unique projects? When a basement needs a custom wine room, a kitchen needs cabinetry adapted to meet functional needs, or a remodel calls for details that can’t simply be ordered from a catalog, we have people who know how to build them.
We also rely on established relationships with local trades and suppliers developed through years of working in Mid-Michigan.
How We Approach a Project
Understand the goal first
A successful remodel starts with understanding why the homeowner wants to make the change. More room, better function, additional storage, a place to entertain, or simply fixing something that no longer works can lead to very different solutions.
Plan before building
Our owner measures and estimates each project personally. We then work with you through the design until the project is agreed upon.
We work through the scope, existing conditions, materials, and coordination required before construction gets underway. Good planning does not eliminate every surprise in remodeling, but it prevents many of them.
Keep the project connected
Remodeling often involves carpentry, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring, tile, painting and other trades. Zischke Builders coordinates those pieces as one project rather than leaving the homeowner to manage them separately.
Pay attention to the finish
The details people touch and see every day matter. Trim transitions, cabinetry, tile lines, doors, railings, and how new work meets the existing home are part of the project, not an afterthought.
