Two partners.
One standard of work.
Great Lakes Design and Renovations is Ben and Joe — two partners who've worked together long enough to know each other's standards.
Built on recommendations
Most of our new clients come through people we've already worked with. A neighbor calls because someone on their street mentioned us. A past client refers a family member. That's how we've grown, and it shapes how we do the work — knowing that the next job may come from how this one goes.
We take on kitchens, baths, basements, decks, built-ins, repairs, and the jobs that don't fit neatly into any category. If it can be done well and the scope makes sense, we'll talk about it.
The people who'll be in your home
Ben and Joe bring different backgrounds to the same team. Reach out to talk through your project with a partner.
Ben
Partner
Ben has a sharp eye for detail and a straightforward way of working. He's usually the one asking the questions that catch things early — and he's just as focused on how a project finishes as how it starts.
Joe
Partner
Joe has been in home improvement for a long time, and it shows. He keeps things moving and has good instincts when a job gets complicated — the kind of calm, practical thinking that's hard to teach.
What we think good renovation work looks like
The work speaks for itself
Most of our clients come from referrals. We want the finished work and the experience of working with us to be worth recommending.
Honest communication throughout
When something changes, or we find something unexpected behind a wall, you hear about it directly. We'll talk through what it means for the scope, cost, and next steps.
Respect for the home
We're in someone's house every day. That means taking care of the space, communicating clearly, and treating the job site the way we'd want ours treated.
