Serving South Lyon, Michigan
Home Remodeling in South Lyon, MI
From the older homes near downtown to the newer subdivisions and larger wooded lots on the edges of town, All American Remod handles the full range of South Lyon remodeling — decks, kitchens, baths, additions and exteriors.
South Lyon has kept something a lot of Oakland County has traded away — a real downtown, older homes with character, and lots big enough to actually do something with. That combination makes for interesting remodeling work, and it's also why the projects here look different from the ones five miles east.
Two Kinds of South Lyon Projects
Broadly, the work splits into two categories, and they call for genuinely different approaches.
Older Homes Near Downtown
The homes closer to the center of town are older, often with plaster walls, original trim, undersized kitchens and bathrooms that were added into spaces never designed for them. The right approach here is careful — you want the updates to look like they belong. That means matching trim profiles, keeping the details that give the house its character, and being realistic about what's behind the walls before demolition starts. We've spent 40+ years working on Michigan homes of every vintage, and older houses reward that experience.
Newer Subdivisions and Larger Lots
Out toward the edges of town, the newer construction and the bigger wooded lots bring a different set of projects: substantial decks that take advantage of the yard, three-season rooms, home additions, and finished basements. When you have the space, outdoor living becomes a much bigger part of the conversation — pergolas, multi-level decks, under-deck dry space and lighting.

Wooded Lots and Wood Rot
One practical note for South Lyon specifically: mature tree cover is lovely and it is hard on a house. Shaded siding stays damp longer, gutters fill faster, and north-facing wood trim goes soft years before it should. We do a lot of rotted wood repair and restoration around here, and it's almost always cheaper to catch it early than to wait until it's reached the framing. If your trim is spongy when you press it, that's the signal.

Kitchen remodelFrequently Asked Questions — South Lyon
Do you work on older homes in South Lyon?
Yes, and we like them. Older houses need a contractor who expects surprises behind the plaster and knows how to match existing trim and detail so the new work doesn't look bolted on. With 40+ years of Michigan homes behind us, that's familiar territory.
Can you build a deck on a sloped or wooded lot?
Yes. Elevated and multi-level decks are common on the larger lots around South Lyon. We handle the footings, framing and railing systems, and we'll design around existing trees rather than assuming they come out.
How do I know if my siding or trim needs replacing?
Press it. If it gives, it's holding moisture and it needs attention. Other signs are peeling paint that comes back within a year or two, visible warping, and dark staining under the eaves. We cover this in more depth in our guide on when to replace your siding.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, 0% financing is available. The application is quick and we can walk you through it during the consultation.
