Custom Homes, Remodels, & Commercial Renovations in Oakland County
More Than 20 Years of Building in Oakland County
We've spent more than 20 years building and remodeling homes across Oakland County, and in that time we've learned that no two projects look alike. Some families come to us with a bare lot and a vision for their forever home.
Others love where they live and just need more room, a better kitchen, or a layout that finally fits how they actually use the house. Whatever brought you here, our job is the same: give you honest answers early, build with real craftsmanship, and keep the surprises out of the process. Below is a look at what we do, and how we can help.
Custom
Homes
Building from the ground up is where we do our best work, partnering closely with your architect to turn a set of plans into a home that's truly yours. We've built custom homes throughout Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills for families who want every detail to reflect the way they live.
Kitchen Remodeling
The kitchen is where most families actually live, so it’s worth making sure every detail is right. Our kitchen remodels in Birmingham and Berkley balance the way you cook, gather, and entertain with finishes built to last for years.
Whole Home Remodeling
When you love your neighborhood, but your house no longer suits you, a whole home remodel lets you reinvent it without ever moving. We've reworked homes throughout West Bloomfield and Royal Oak to update layouts, include aging-in-place features, and add needed spaces.
Home
Additions
A well-designed addition can change how your whole home feels, whether that's a new primary suite, an expanded kitchen, or a second story that doubles your space. We've helped families across Bloomfield Township and Beverly Hills add square footage that looks like it was always meant to be there.
Aging-in-Place Renovations
Planning to stay in your home for the long haul? We'll help you sort out which changes actually matter: first-floor living, an accessible bathroom that doesn't look like a hospital, wider doorways, an easier way in the front door, and better lighting. The point isn't remodeling for some future version of you. It's making the house better to live in starting now.
Commercial Renovations
The same craftsmanship and straight talk we bring to homes carries over to commercial spaces, from office buildouts to storefront updates that need to stay on schedule. We've handled commercial renovations in Royal Oak and downtown Birmingham for owners who can't afford surprises or extended downtime.

Where We Work
For more than 20 years, we've built and remodeled homes across the communities we call home, and those long relationships with local architects, building departments, and suppliers are a big part of why our projects go smoothly. We work throughout Birmingham and the surrounding Oakland County area, and chances are we've already built something a few streets over from you. If your town isn't on the list, reach out anyway, and we'd be glad to talk it through.

Hear From Your Neighbors
"To this point, LL Custom Contracting has been a great company to work with. Chris, the owner, has done a great job of hiring the right people and simply doing business the way it should be done. They are well organized, communicative, pleasant to work with, they keep the project moving, and do great work. Management never hesitates to make things right for the customer."
Matt L.
"From the beginning to the very end of our project, our experience with L& L Custom Contracting was very satisfying. The project Team was very good about communicating and responding to our requests as they occurred throughout the entire project. The craftsmanship that was demonstrated on this project was very high-end and completed with attention to detail for us. The project superintendent, Steve, was Fantastic! His responses to our requests was immediate and was always amongst the best resolution and/or decisions that were made. Overall, we were more than pleased with L & L Custom Contracting and would definitely recommend them. Very happy with our project’s outcome!"
Tom J.
"Lincoln Capital provided funding for a project that LL Custom Contracting was the General Contractor. This project was one of the easiest and smoothest transactions we have done in years. In 26 years of construction management and real estate development, I have never wrote a review for a construction company until now. They were very professional and forward thinking of obstacles and potential risks that were possible. As a lost virtue in the real estate development business, this company did exactly what they said they were going to do, when and how they said they were going to do it. Plus they finished the project ahead of schedule and under budget. Thanks to LL Custom Contracting the owner was able to downsize his loan saving thousands over the next 25 years. I would highly recommending this company for any project."
Brian H.
"We financed and large project that was constructed by LL Custom Contracting and the process could not have gone smoother. The owner’s expertise in the industry made the process easy for everyone involved and the final project was nothing short of superb. I would recommend Chris and his team to anyone looking for custom-built solutions."
Brad K.
“I felt that I was working with highly qualified and very professional people. They addressed all construction issues in a timely manner and with great technical expertise. Above all else their team members are very friendly and easy to talk to. Any time a team member called me to address an issue at jobsite I was always eager to answer the phone because I knew that even if I didn’t have a solution right away they did. LL Custom Contracting is a very pro-active company which is rare in the construction industry. I look forward to working with then again."
John J.
"As an Architect, working with a Construction group like LL Custom Contracting is amazing because it’s a partnership between the design team and the construction team. This partnership creates an overall “Team” that is going to provide the best quality product possible for each and every client. I love working with Chris and his team and look back fondly to each and every project we have worked on together!"
George B.
"As the president and treasurer of 124 condos most of which are now 30 plus years old, having a capable, reliable and affordable company to address our maintenance needs is our highest priority. LL Custom Contracting has been our contractor of choice for several years now and the relationship continues to grow. In addition to always doing a great job, our owners are also complimentary of their attention to details and their courtesy. Being a board member for any complex is a challenge but it is made much easier by having a relationship with LL Custom."
Gary
"I am an architect and have worked with LL Custom Contracting for many years. They have built difficult and demanding custom projects for my clients and consistently done a fantastic job. Chris Lamphear is a real pro and so easy to work with! Patient, considerate, and very detail-oriented. Chris always gets the intent of our design and details and carries out the job with professionalism and integrity. I highly recommend them!"

Let's Talk Through Your Project Goals
Sometimes a whole home remodel will cover your needs. Other times it may be best to start fresh and build from the ground up. Maybe only updating your kitchen will be the change you need to elevate your daily life. No matter where you are in your process, we can help you make the decisions that are still up in the air.
