DeShano Companies, Inc. has been serving central and northern Michigan since 1966. Specializing in new home, multi-family, and light commercial construction, DeShano Companies has the experience and staff to complete any size project. As a design builder, we guide each of our customers through the entire development process, from financing all the way to completion.

We use Oriented Strand Board (OSB) for sheathing on gables, walls, and roofs. OSB is more cost-effective and stronger than plywood. For subfloors, LP TopNotch 350 Series is standard. Built with a polyurethane foam core that offers up to four times the insulating R-Value of wood, Therma-Tru fiberglass doors insulate against cold and heat for exceptional energy efficiency. Plus, a fiberglass door will not rust or dent like a steel one will. Foam-filled steel overhead garage doors are also more energy-efficient, help to seal out sound, and keep a more consistent temperature even in unheated spaces.
DeShano Companies Inc. has experience serving as both the general and building contractor for many types of commercial buildings. Servicing central and northern lower Michigan for over fifty years, DeShano Companies has the experience, staff, and subcontractor connections to successfully complete your commercial building. As a family owned and operated business, we take pride in our workmanship, and believe in providing quality service before, during and after the sale. We receive more new customers from referrals than from any other source.
I do recommend DeShano Companies for your home building project. I selected a "shell package" because I wanted to be more hands on in building our cottage. Jeff Zettel did an awesome job guiding me through the process. His expertise helped me with many of my decisions and believe me there are a lot of them. Scott Hillier did a great job managing all the trades on site. Everybody who walks through the door comments on the quality & craftsmanship they see in the home. Even though I decided on a shell package, I find myself going back for flooring and cupboards as I finish the interior.
We had DeShano Companies replace a wraparound porch and add a deck to our cottage in Northern Michigan last summer. I did a lot of shopping around to find a contractor. I am a trial attorney who has litigated more than a hundred construction disputes and know the questions to ask and the things to watch out for. With that background, I cannot say enough good words about DeShano -- Jeff Zettel worked with us through several plan iterations until we finally settled on the scope of work. The specs were complete; the price reasonable and fair; its workers showed up on the day DeShano said they would; it completed the job within the original schedule; when the job was done, the Job Superintendent, Scott Hillier, pointed out some things that should be redone that we did not even notice; DeShano did those things quickly and without complaint; and the quality is exceptional.
