Decades of Quality & Trust
For more than 20 years, families throughout Oakland County and Southeast Michigan have trusted LL Custom Contracting to build exceptional custom homes, additions, and whole home renovations.
More of our clients are planning further ahead. They love where they live and have no intention of leaving, so we build for the long run with main-floor primary suites, zero-step entries, wider doorways, and curbless showers that read as beautiful design, not clinical retrofits.
We've intentionally built a company that's the right size: experienced and well-resourced enough to manage complex projects, yet personal enough to give every client and every detail the attention they deserve.
Our leadership, project managers, field staff, and trusted trade partners bring the people, systems, and experience to guide your project from the first conversation through the final walkthrough.
You can expect honest conversations about your budget, craftsmanship you can see and feel, and consistent communication throughout. That's why approximately 80% of our work comes from repeat clients and referrals. If you're ready to create a home that fits your life now and adapts to it later, you're in the right place.

Services
Custom Homes
Building from the ground up is where we do our best work, partnering with your architect. If you don't have an architect, we'll introduce you to the finest architects in town to turn plans into a home that's truly yours. Every detail, from the framing to the final finishes, is handled with the craftsmanship that's earned us two decades of referrals.
Services
Kitchen Remodeling
The kitchen is where most families actually live, so it's worth getting it right down to the last detail. We balance how you cook, gather, and entertain with finishes built to hold up for years.
Services
Whole Home Renovations
Sometimes the right move isn't a new house, it's reimagining the one you already love. We rework dated layouts from top to bottom so your home finally matches the way your family actually lives.
Services
Residential Additions
A well-designed addition can change how your entire home feels, whether that's a new primary suite, a bigger kitchen, or a second story. We add square footage that looks like it was part of the original plan all along.
Services
Commercial Renovations
The same craftsmanship and straight talk we bring to homes carry over to commercial spaces. We handle office buildouts and storefront updates for owners who can't afford surprises or extended downtime.
Services
Aging-in-Place
Aging-in-place remodeling makes everyday living easier now and lets you stay in the home you love for years to come. We handle accessible home renovations of every scale, including first-floor living suites, accessible bathroom renovations with curbless showers and grab bar reinforcement, zero-step entries, and wider doorways and hallways. It's thoughtful design that fits how you actually live, not a clinical retrofit.
Our Process
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!"
