Waterfront Living

Considering a waterfront build? DeShano Companies has extensive experience in building water facing homes. We will help you design the perfect house to take advantage of your lot's unique views and elevation. Since most waterfront homes have two fronts, it is important to design the house to have appeal from both sides. Our drafting and design team will take each of these factors into consideration to help design your perfect home, cottage, or cabin.

More about Commercial Construction

"We love our new log house up north, and the complete experience of building this home with DeShano Companies was terrific. Jeff was extremely knowledgeable in helping with all the details of the plan, and Scott as foreman was great to work with. The quality for the price was outstanding and I would recommend this builder to anyone considering building a home in central and northern lower Michigan."

- Greg G.

"A large, well staffed company that helped us make the selections and modifications resulting in what we consider is our perfect retirement home. Their large showroom lets you see the materials you are selecting. Their use of the internet and computerized kitchen design made it possible to finalize the design from across the state and complete the project to meet our moving schedule. They were very flexible in crediting things like closet shelving which we chose to do ourselves. They are up to date on building codes and produced a very energy efficient building. Their follow up team is very capable to fix the defects that are discovered after moving in."

"DeShano Construction has been the most professional team that I have worked with. I have tried other contractors, but no one else measures up to these guys. They handled the remodel of my house while I was a thousand miles away in Georgia and didn't miss a beat. They did such a good job I trusted them with the work on my parents home and our deer camp as well. They assign a professional supervisor for each job. It's nice to have one contact that handles all aspects of the work. And due to their size and leverage, they are usually cheaper than most of the local contractors in town. I highly recommend them and will use them again myself."
