Made Us Feel Like Family

Two years ago we decided it was time to spend more time with our children...a daughter and a son and their families. They each live in Oakland County, which was and hour and ten minutes away from us in South Lyon. Just down South Boulevard was a new condo subdivision just starting out. What a find to be only three minutes away from our grandchildren and son and daughter-in-law. Our daughter and her husband are just twenty minutes away.

So with that in mind, we stopped in to meet Melody who made us feel like family. When we decided to build with Macliesh we were met by Joyce and Dan.

The warm welcome we received from Dan, Joyce and Melody made us feel like they would be with us all the way through this building process. This was a no brainer to sign on the dotted line. Melody was always there with answers to all our questions. The process of building was relaxing knowing that we were in good hands with Dan and his professional crew.

Dan Jr. came into the picture towards the end to do all the landscaping which turned out beautiful. When you talk to him you can see his mind working designing how the landscaping should look like. And...yes we had some input of what we liked to have in our landscape.

We now have been living in Sanctuary in the Hills East almost a year. We feel like this is our home now and feel so comfortable here. The workmanship is like everyone else says...Perfection!

We will highly recommend Macliesh Builders to anyone who is looking for great workmanship, friendly people to work with and a timely ending to a well built home. Thank you Dan, Joyce, Melody, and Dan Jr. for all your hard work and patience while building our condo home. It is so relaxing watching the deer come and feed in the back and watch baby turtles being born and lots of ducks and butterflies floating around in the back. Couldn’t ask for more.

–Jill and Joe, Rochester Hills

Our Second MacLeish Home!

“We are currently living very happily in our second home built by MacLeish Builders. We specifically sought them out to build our current home due to the exceptional quality, professionalism, ease to work with and remarkable attention to detail in our first MacLeish home.

They believe in working WITH the client to give them what they want in their home. They are always available to answer any questions, entertain any request and help you work with your ideas as well as share some of theirs, from years of experience, to incorporate with yours. They help you through all selection processes in an effort to make life easier for you.

Dan MacLeish and his family will accept nothing less than the highest quality and professional from their skilled tradesmen, employees and anyone who takes part in building your home, at the same time treating them fairly and with respect.

They are truly MASTER BUILDERS and a joy to work with. They are wonderful people and will give you a home that will stand out from all others. We would never even consider having anything but a MacLeish home.”

Never Any 'Hard Parts' with MacLeish Building

“When it came time for us to downsize, we looked into the Sanctuary In The Hills condominium community just a few miles from our home.

At our initial visit Dan MacLeish gave us a personal tour of several units that were near completion. Given our past knowledge of Dan’s longstanding reputation for quality workmanship and quality materials we quickly decided to purchase one.

That's always the easy part for any new home build. (We had had two previous homes built). The hard part occurs during the build when changes are requested or builder/contractor mistakes are made or shortcuts are taken by the builder at the expense of the buyer.

The difference for us between this build and our first two was that there were never any hard parts.

If we wanted changes made to the architectural design, the answer was always "yes" – even after parts of the condo were completed – rather than "I'm sorry...we can't deviate from the drawing."

Dan MacLeish has been in the building business for over 50 years and his knowledge and experience are self-evident. He was at the job site almost every day checking on the progress and quality of each day's work.

Dan’s daughter, sales agent/decorator Melody Griffin, was also available any time we needed her input into the numerous choices all buyers face with a new home build. And if Dan was not available, son Danny Jr. would assist us (and he did the landscaping as well!). Dan and Joyce MacLeish, Melody and Danny and all their company's staff only wanted us to be happy with our new home. Who could ask for more from your builder?

We are blessed to be able to finally say that we now own a MacLeish-built home.”

Made Sure It Was Done Right

“Thanks to the entire MacLeish family. Our dream has become a realty. You are a gift that we will always treasure!

It's important to note that I have built three homes, prior to working with MacLeish Building. I was very concerned that my builder was a true partner, because I live in California. The MacLeish team has been thoughtful, conscientious, clear and supportive from the very beginning and throughout the construction process. Under Danny's leadership, MacLeish Building has aligned themselves with high calibre craftsmen who are scheduled and perform at a high quality level. This commitment, coordination and responsiveness made a tremendous difference for our project.

Danny served as our construction manager. He was as committed to details as I would have been. I observed first hand, on several occasions, when Danny looked for the most minute construction detail and made sure it was done right.

In addition, Danny was thoughtful about providing options for consideration, rather than sticking solely to the original plan. He did this proactively and provided ample amounts of time to consider the pros and cons. Bottom line: MacLeish Building is the best construction contractor I have ever worked with. If I ever decided to build anther home, calling MacLeish and Danny would be my very first call.”

Dan and his crew provided excellent workmanship. Melody provided great guidance on the interior design and Joyce was helpful with all of the other aspects of planning the project. Every time a client comes to see us they compliment us on our beautiful new building. MacLeish Building has given us a very impressive office building.

– Gregory J. Hinkson, CFP®, Hinkson Wealth Management, Troy

Quality Workmanship

“We could not more enthusiastically recommend MacLeish building. Dan is not only professional, most capable, and personable – but there was always the highest honesty and integrity in the relationship. He was available when we needed to contact him, and it was a pleasure dealing with him.

We had extensive renovations in our house, and still get comments on how lovely everything is and what quality is shown in the workmanship. All was done as promised, for the prices promised, and in the time-frame proposed.”

– David & Carolyn, Bloomfield Hills

Delivering on a Promise

“From our first meeting with the MacLeish Building team we realized that this was no ordinary builder, but one possessed of sincerity, honesty, integrity and ability…we placed in them our trust. We were never once disappointed.

From start-to-finish, we found each member of the MacLeish Building team attentive and receptive to our wishes, always keeping us informed of the progress during the construction of our home. Additionally, the MacLeish Building team assisted us in selecting those many features that would serve to enhance the appearance, functionality and value of our home – as well as lending greatly to our comfort and enjoyment of it.

We would have no hesitation, whatsoever, in recommending the MacLeish building team to anyone with an interest in building a new – or renovating an existing – home.”

– Ivona and Henry Gorry, Orion Township

A Successful Building Experience

“We highly recommend the MacLeish Building team for their unsurpassed personal service, honesty, and integrity. Their thorough pre-planning process and regular on-site meetings during construction assured our successful building experience.

Each request and concern was met with great attention to detail. We were able to make choices and decisions with confidence, guided by their vast product knowledge and building expertise. We could not be more proud of our home and continue to enjoy the quality features and timeless elegance found in each MacLeish home.”

– Greg and Judy Graves, West Bloomfield

“I love my new kitchen, love everything about it – cabinets, countertops, floor, woodwork. It is truly beautiful and all I wanted. Thank you Dan for giving so much time to this project – for bringing in your ‘people’ and for all the behind the scenes work you did to get this all together. Thank you Joyce for…your great suggestions.”
