Serving Howell, Michigan
Home Remodeling Contractor in Howell, MI
All American Remod is a family-owned general contractor building decks, kitchens, bathrooms and additions for Howell homeowners — from the old houses downtown to the lake properties and newer subdivisions on the edges of town.
Howell is the Livingston County seat, and it has the housing stock to prove it. Unlike most of the towns we serve, Howell has a genuine historic core — streets of houses around downtown built long before anyone was thinking about open floor plans. Add the properties around Thompson Lake and the newer subdivisions spreading toward the edges of town, and you get three distinctly different remodeling problems inside one city.
Three Kinds of Howell House
- Historic downtown homes. Genuinely old construction: plaster, out-of-square framing, undersized kitchens and baths, and decades of previous owners' work layered on top of each other. Rewarding to remodel, and not a job for someone who has only ever worked on new builds.
- Thompson Lake properties. Moisture, shade and grade all working against wood, plus a deck that functions as the main living space from spring through fall.
- Newer subdivision homes. Well built, but with original builder kitchens, baths and pressure-treated decks now hitting replacement age together.
Remodeling Old Houses Properly
In a downtown Howell house, the honest answer to what's behind a wall is usually that we'll know when it's open. That isn't a reason to avoid the project — it's a reason to plan for it. We build the possibility of hidden conditions into the plan rather than handling every one as a change order, and we're straight with you about what's a repair and what's a rebuild. Undersized kitchens and baths are where these houses pay back the most, and getting the layout right matters more than the finish selections.
What We Build in Howell
One general contractor for the entire project: custom composite and wood decks, decks and outdoor living, kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, basement finishing, home additions, flooring, siding and trim, wood rot repair, and interior and exterior painting.
Decks Around Thompson Lake
Near water, wood is fighting a losing battle with moisture and shade. We're a Trex Pro Platinum installer, so we can offer up to a 10-year labor warranty on Trex Transcend and Signature builds alongside Trex's material warranty. On a lake lot the design work matters as much as the material: railing that doesn't block the view, a layout that uses the grade instead of fighting it, and lighting so the deck stays usable after sunset. Pergolas, three-season rooms and under-deck dry space are all on the table.

Deck & patioFrequently Asked Questions — Howell
Do you remodel older homes in downtown Howell?
Yes, and it's work we're comfortable with. Old houses hide layered previous work, odd framing and out-of-square openings. We expect that and plan for it rather than treating each discovery as a surprise you pay extra for.
How far is Howell from you?
We're based in Highland, a straightforward drive east. Howell, Hartland and Brighton are all regular Livingston County service areas for us.
Can you build an addition on a small downtown lot?
Often, yes — but the design has to start from setbacks, lot coverage and the existing structure. We look at all of that during the consultation so you know what's possible before you get attached to a plan that isn't.
What does a bathroom remodel involve?
Design, demolition, plumbing, tile, fixtures, vanity and finish work, all handled by us as one project. In older Howell homes the plumbing and subfloor conditions usually drive the schedule more than the finish selections do.
