Michigan's Custom Home Builders

Reclaim the value of your home. Turn that pile of
boxes into an organized living space. From a simple kids playroom to a state-of-the-art home theatre.
The possibilities can be endless.
A kitchenette, a bathroom, a fireplace, a wet bar with a bedroom or two can help to define the way you live and entertain. The right design can make it the hub of your family’s activities and the envy of your neighbors.
Huff Residence - Finished Basement. This well designed basement actually looks nothing like a basement. The beautifully decorated space includes a custom built cherry bar unit with granite countertops & Brookhaven cherry cabinetry. A cultured stone fireplace and coffered ceiling adds architectural detail to this basement. Comfortable furnishings surround a state of the art home theater unit that is flanked with pillars and built in open bookcases. Brighton, MI

“Thanks so much for making a dream come true! Your team was awesome and we enjoyed getting to know a little about each one of them. God bless you and your entire M.J. Whelan staff.”
Barry & Cherie Forbes, Wixom, MI
“I deal with a lot of different contractors all the time and it is so refreshing to have crews show up on time, get right to work, be prepared, clean up after themselves, and do a great job. Now we have first hand knowledge of the quality workmanship and service your company provides.”
Sandy Slavens, Kensington Heights Co-Op, Milford, MI
“Our basement went from a blank canvas to being functional and cozy. Exactly what we had in mind. From the moment the job started, the men who came and went from our home were exceptional. They always kept in mind that they were working in a home environment right up till the job was completed. And might we add, it finished on time. You kept to your word on timing and quality and we thank you. We certainly would recommend and use M.J. Whelan Construction for future remodeling ideas for our home.”
Darel & Sara Dickens, Milford, MI

basement value
M.J. Whelan can turn your cold, drab basement into an inviting, functional & comfortable, new living space. One of the greatest assets of a finished basement is they can serve any function that suits your individual needs. There can be something for everyone. A second kitchen for large family gatherings, a bar for hanging out with friends complete with a pool table or maybe ping-pong? Lots of space for busy kids to play or do homework, and well… you can never have too much storage. Theaters rooms and fireplaces are also quite a trend these days in basements. We can add a bathroom and then, who knows… you may not want to go back upstairs!
