Tilley Construction Inc

Highly recommend Brian and Tilley Construction! I found a mold problem in my home. He came over that day and 3 days later it was abated and new wall was up!! I have also had him replace cement in my driveway and put in a cement patio which turned out beautiful!! I trust him and his employees 100%. Being a contractor he can handle it all!! Call him today. You won't be sorry....I am for my next project!!

I had the pleasure of working with Tilley Construction on a deck and patio extension at my home, and I can honestly say the results blew me away.

From day one, Tilley was professional, easy to communicate with, and clearly took pride in his work. He showed up when he said he would, kept the job site tidy, and walked me through every stage of the build without any of that usual "contractor mystery." You can tell he really knows his craft.

The finished product was flawless—sturdy timberwork, smooth finishes, and built exactly to spec. He even suggested a few design tweaks that made the space more functional and visually impressive. It's now the highlight of my backyard, and I've already had neighbors asking who did the work.

If you’re after a reliable, skilled builder who actually cares about the end result, I’d recommend Tilley Construction without hesitation. Solid work, fair pricing, and great service from start to finish.

Very professional, great work, great prices, and veri efficient. Brian and his crew were courteous and respectful, and cleaned after themselves after every work day.

Tilley Construction delivers excellent craftsmanship and workmanship skills. Brian is always available for questions and communicates effectively during every part of the job. I highly recommend!

Brian has done work at my home that is excellent! Many other construction companies told me that they could not fix the issue, but Tilley Construction was able to complete the project in a timely matter and without any issues. I highly respect this company and they are always a pleasure to work with!

When we began remodeling our home, we had never been involved with such an extensive construction job before. But Brian Tilley seemed sincere and we felt we could trust him.

Right off the bat, he took advantage of our trust by under-quoting us the price of the job, which we later learned is common practice for contractors to convince you to hire them. We should have sensed something was off when he asked for 40% (!) of the entire price of the project upfront (which we later found out was not normal and not even legal) in order to get materials so he could begin right away. He took that 40% and disappeared for two months. We were told by experts in the profession that he likely took our money and spent it elsewhere.Never having done this before, we trusted him and assumed it was normal. BIG mistake.

After handing over that large sum, and soon after starting the project, he came with change order after change order amounting to literally TRIPLE the cost of what we were originally quoted. Despite our architect drawings remaining unchanged, he blamed us for excessive upgrades. He tried to put the blame on us, saying that we were upgrading everything to an extreme. But the few things we did “upgrade” on, we actually paid for out of our own pockets.
Additionally, he conveniently neglected to inform us that according to our contract, all change orders must be submitted BEFORE the changes or upgrades are made, and not after the fact- which is what he did.
Under his threats that he would walk off our job without it, we paid those excessively large change orders in full.
Where all that money went was a mystery because he then came for a “final” change order in which he informed us that he’s not paying for a whole host of expenses which were supposedly covered in his original bid. Wanting to just be finished with it all, we again paid in full.

But then he was back with ANOTHER final change order and refusing to pay for previously agreed-upon expenses. When we questioned the details, he became extremely disrespectful and negative to my wife and threatened to withhold city approval.
We wish our dealing with him had ended with us finally moving into our home. However, his lack of straight-forwardness and honesty turned into a plumbing nightmare for us after just a few months of living in our newly renovated home.
Before we started our renovations we requested that the sewer line to the house should be replaced entirely, due to problems we had in the past. He agreed and we spoke with a few plumbing companies who could do this. At the last minute, he informed us that he wants to do the whole job himself. We were not thrilled with that idea, and told him so.

But he reassured us that he can do a perfect job and we can surely call him if there is ever a problem. He signed in our agreement that he would put in the new line, ALL THE WAY to the city one.

Not long after we were back in our house, there was a massive sewer backup. He did come by to help and concluded that one of our kids probably flushed a stuffed animal down the toilet. We were skeptical, having had kids in our home for over 15 years and never experiencing that even once. But we said ok, and let it go.

But then not long after- another sewage backup! This time I called a plumber who sent a camera down the line. The footage showed that the new line did not go all the way to the city as Brian had put in writing that it did. Instead, it stopped about 20 feet before the city and for 20 feet there was the old pipe which had collapsed right at the point connecting the new and old (note image attached). The sewer company was appalled that Brian did such a dishonest thing. It was outright fraud. Although he did admit to what he did, there was no apology and he took no responsibility for the sewer repair that cost us well over $10,000.
In conclusion, he left us with a mostly nice home, but a very bad taste in our mouths from his lack of integrity and the constant harassment we endured while working with him.

I purchased a 100 year old, 10,000+ square-foot home in Grosse Pointe. It needed a total gut renovation. Brian Tilley of Tilley Construction’s quote was a third less than any of the others. And the job was completed in less than half the time that the others promised. Not only was he my contractor but he was my creative consultant. All work was done first rate. If there was a problem of any kind, even a year later, they were there to repair and help. I have since used Brian and his team to do work on properties that I own in Royal Oak and Birmingham. I never met a more honest contractor. I cant say enough good things about Brian and his team.

Last week we hired Tilley Construction Inc. to put a new roof on our house. Brian did a beautiful job. We are very pleased with how good it looks and the professional way the job was handled. As they were working, they made sure to daily pick up all materials in our yard and kept it all clean and orderly.. Brian and his crew are hard workers and Brian just wants the job done right. He's more than fair about cost and time spent on the project. We couldn't be happier with his work and will definitely call him again for future jobs.

Brian and Tilley Construction bend over backwards to please their clients and do a great job. Brian is also very hands-on verses other contractors I have dealt with.

After getting several bids on our home renovation, full second story gut and build of our 1940s bungalow, we went with Brian Tilley and his team.

Brian was honest, kind, hardworking, and straightforward from the beginning—our project was delayed due to COVID and so Brian and his team helped us setup an existing room for our 1st born daughter, as she was originally planned to get a room upstairs after the renovations.

Over the next 2 years, 2020-2022, we kept in touch with Brian and he guided us, based on our budget, when we could kickoff our renovation—based on material cost post Covid.

We knew going in, and Brian assured us, that we had an old house and we were going to run into surprises and unforeseen costs once we started taking the house apart. That said, Brian kept all costs at a minimum and worked with us, with incredible professionalism, anytime an unforeseen cost occurred. The entire Tilley team treated us like family, cared for our home (made it literally as strong as a tank), and truly finished every room gorgeously. We highly recommend Tilley construction and we plan to exclusively use them for all of our home projects moving forward.

I’ve attached before and after photos of our renovation with Tilley.

Brian and his team are the most kind and efficient contractors we’ve ever worked with! They undertook a massive second story renovation, adding two full baths and two addition bedrooms to our upstairs. Brian quoted us fairly and the time he estimated for labor was spot on. There was constant communication which made us feel very confident in his team as we were living elsewhere during the project. We also trusted that every structural and cosmetic choice he made for the renovation was the best and safest choice possible. The team was so professional and their quality of work exceeded our expectations. Cannot recommend Tilley Construction enough!! Will definitely use them for other household projects.

If you’ve ever met Brian you know. He’s a hard worker and has a heart of Gold. His subs are the best, from drywall, to insulation, to his trim carpenter and rough carpenter. They really know their stuff. Brian and his team remodeled my kitchen, carpet throughout my house, my huge garage door, and after I sold my house he was the first person I called for the very first project. I’ll call him every time.

Me and my husband hired Tilley construction after the tree in front of our house came down during the last big storm we had. The corner of the house as well as the awnings and hand rail were damaged, Tilley construction and crew did an amazing job fixing it, even the neighbors came over and complemented on a job well done, Thank you Brian and crew! Your Amazing, keep up the good work!

This company did an amazing job on the multiple room renovations that were desperately needed to our home. I am so happy! Everything from the major construction to the fine detail was done on schedule with preciseness. It was absolutely worry-free! I would recommend this company without hesitation.

Tilley construction is by far the best construction company I have worked with. Brian and his crew were on budget, on time and the work was completed with skill and precision. I will be using his company for all commercial and residential needs moving forward! Thank you Brian and crew!

I hired Tilley Construction for work on several areas of our home---siding, deck, and gutters---in late summer, and I am so glad that I did. Brian and his crew are consummate professionals: friendly, courteous, efficient, thorough, and clean. They paid attention to details and really treated the project as if the work was being done on their own homes. Brian was fantastic throughout every phase of the process. He came in with a fast, and more than fair, pricing estimate (and stuck to it to the penny); he was always willing and available to answer any questions; and his expert advice on what to do and not to do was invaluable. I really appreciated his willingness to share his knowledge and opinions. His two-man crew put in an honest, full day's work every day and really knew what they were doing. Several neighbors have complimented the work and how everything turned out. These are my "go to" guys from now on when it comes to home repairs. No reservation about giving them a perfect "five-star" rating.

I have hired Brian many times over the years and I have always been very satisfied with his work. Brian has always been professional and on time and has always done a very good job for me. Brian is friendly, patient and hardworking. Brian is my go to to guy when I have a construction project that I need done right.

It's tough working with contractors these days as many of them are too busy to call you back or work with you when estimating a project, but Brian and his team at Tilley Construction are great to work with. Not only did Brian stay in communication with me on our project, but was on time with all of his delivery dates....that's tough to beat. Thank you Tilley team.
