Testimonials

Andy Greenlee, Lake Angelus MI

Building a new home involves so many decisions, and none is more critical than choosing the right builder. I have worked with many talented individuals in my life, none more so than Bill Derocher. He surpassed every expectation I had, and there were many. Bill coordinated the architectural, interior, and design meetings seamlessly, maximizing the talents of all involved while keeping respect levels high. He protected my interests every step of the way—making me aware of what I needed to know and handling everything I didn’t. His knowledge of the entire build process, combined with his people skills, ensured top percentile finishes and outstanding trade performance. Bill was transparent on issues, prompt with resolutions, and constantly brought ideas that improved the home. Derocher’s efforts have remained just as strong after completion, addressing any small issues with urgency and care. I give Custom Homes by Derocher my 100% recommendation.

I had always wanted to build my own home exactly the way I envisioned it, and after finding the perfect lot my real estate agent recommended Young & Young Architects. After our early designs, we interviewed builders, and Derocher came highly recommended by a very discriminating family member who had used them before. When Derocher submitted their proposal, the lead architect said he had never seen such a precise and detailed bid and was extremely impressed. The project was long and the home grew substantially, but throughout the process Derocher handled changes from me, my designer, and my architect with ease. Bill and Frank were always available for questions or meetings and made the many unexpected parts of building far less stressful. To this day, Derocher feels like part of the family—they manage ongoing maintenance, coordinate subcontractors, and even act as caretakers when I’m away. I’m very pleased with my choice and would have no hesitation using Derocher again when I build dream home #2.

Looking back on it now the real decision was the builder and I can honestly say that the Bill Derocher and team exceeded all of our expectations in every category. They did what they said and said what they did! The project was on time and on price with exceptional follow up and follow through. Even now if an issue arises the Derocher team responds immediately without question. They continue to care about my home and have become friends through the process. If I were to build again there would be no search for a builder. Without question, it would be Derocher and I suggest that you will feel the same upon completion of your dream project.

We have built four homes and have worked with many different contractors. If we had met Custom Homes by Derocher earlier, there would have only been one. Their creativity, attention to detail, and superb craftsmanship produced a beautiful, unique home for our family. Their strong sense of integrity made the entire building process a pleasure and our relationship continues as they strive to ensure our satisfaction. We would highly recommend Custom Homes by Derocher to anyone looking to build a quality home.

Sally Schmitt, Bloomfield Hills MI

I had heard many times from others who had built homes to be prepared for the worst. Well, the worst never happened. Our house is such a pleasure to look at and to live in. It is indeed a home that one can only dream of. Please feel free to have anyone call for a reference. It will be with pleasure to say that builders don’t come any better than Custom Homes by Derocher.

Thank you again for everything.

The team at Custom Homes by Derocher exceeded my expectations, and I am a tough customer. I have built and remodeled homes for the past 20+ years, and I chose Custom Homes by Derocher to build my new home, a complicated build with intricate truss work and details throughout. They are upfront, honorable, a pleasure to work with, detail oriented, with excellent quality and great communication skills. I would highly recommend Bill and his team. My new home is great, in no small part due to Custom Homes by Derocher.
