Wolverine Contracting

Wolverine Contracting Design + Remodel provided us with exceptional craftsmanship for our renovation. They weren’t our cheapest option but their unique cost-plus process of contracting, clear & transparent labor rates and discounts saved us thousands on our projects. We have never seen a company operate in this manner, but it just made complete sense to us, and it works extremely well. Along the way we were a bit indecisive and made a few changes which added work to the original scope, increased our budget and timeline, however Douglas immediately shifted into another gear and was able to incorporate our changes within the original design. He is extremely honest, trustworthy and knowledgeable of his trade. His communication skills and integrity were second to none. I don’t know how he handles all the stress, but he makes it look easy. All team members and subcontractors were respectful of us and our home and a pleasure to work with as well. We highly recommend Wolverine Contracting and will be contacting them for any future projects.

Doug and his team were EXCELLENT! They went above and beyond to create our dream home. We purchased an older home that needed a lot of work and Doug’s team renovated everything beautifully. They got the job done fast, too. The whole team was extremely professional, knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. Wolverine is the way to go!

Douglas and his crew at Wolverine Custom Painting have done many projects at our home through the years. I've always appreciated Douglas doing exactly what he says he and his crew are going to do. They show-up when they say they will. They complete the work as agreed and with no fuss. Douglas explains everything. I've gotten to the point that I trust his team to get the job done right without having to "babysit" like you may have to with other contractors. The quality and attention to detail is much appreciated and I look forward to continuing to work with his crew when our next project comes around.

Simon & company did a great job on our kitchen remodel. I had to have them come back a couple times to take care of framing & electrical issues & they worked everything out so we didn't have to miss a beat on our tight schedule. I would highly recommend them.

Once again a good experience working with Douglas and his team. They are professional, polite, and trustworthy. We have used them before and will definitely do so again in the future.

Wolverine Custom Painting did a full kitchen and family room remodel for us. We could not be happier with the entire experience. They were professional, communicative and highly skilled. Most of all, we appreciate their integrity throughout the entire process. We will be lifetime customers!

This is the 2nd job that Doug and his crew have done for us. I will gladly call them again. Quality home repair is not cheap, but Doug and his staff do excellent work and try their best to keep costs down for the homeowner. They are busy as a result, but it is a worth a little wait to get your job done well.

Doug Fox and team at Wolverine Custom Painting LLC provided structural repairs and replaced exterior wood trim and vinyl siding on our home. The quality of the repairs was outstanding. These folks are true experienced professionals with great attention to the details needed for a first-class job. No short-cuts, high-quality work. Doug was great to work with and offered a fair and reasonable price. He was excellent in terms of carefully discussing the project and how he would solve our problem. Great communicator throughout the project. No surprises - Wolverine performed exactly as promised. You can trust Doug and his team. I highly recommend them to others looking for a job done right at a fair price.

I was confident from meeting and though out the job. The job was preformed neat and clean. I would work with Wolverine again. Very professional. The deck is fabulous.

I have seen this company's work on past projects, and appreciate their attention to detail. The last time I had the exterior of my house painted the job was completed a lot faster, but with inadequate preparation and attention to detail the paint job did not have the longevity or quality that I expected. With Wolverine, the attention to detail started with the inspection. Preparation was vastly better, problematic wood trim was identified and replaced, gaps and breaks in the caulk were sealed, all followed by a very good looking paint job. The work crew was diligent and respectful. It goes without saying that work of this quality consumes a lot more man hours, and cost more than the first outfit charged, but I got what I wanted this time around: a really good exterior paint job without any cutting of corners.

These gentlemen did such a fantastic job. They were respectful, on time, conscientious, friendly, very clean and trustworthy. I would highly recommend them for any of your property
and/or household needs.

Had the opportunity to speak with Doug today about a potential project at my home. Throughout our conversation, it was very clear that Doug is highly skilled in his craft and truly understands what he is doing. Doug provided great insight and thorough explanations about the project we are looking to do and I am appreciative of his professional recommendation on how to approach our next steps. He also went out of his way to squeeze me in his schedule for the estimate (very last minute). Would highly recommend recommend Wolverine Custom Painting LLC!

Doug was very responsive and was able to fit this job in to their schedule very quickly. The work was top notch! I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a reputable contractor.

I have used Doug Fox and Wolverine Custom Painting LLC on a number of projects, specifically when I don't have time to do the work myself, or they have specialized equipment or expertise. Most recently we had a leak in a newly installed reverse osmosis water system which damaged the interior/base of a sink cabinet and the ceiling of the bedroom below. The carpenters demo'd the interior of the cabinet base, rebuilding the platform and reinstalling a new cabinet floor. This saved extensive work removing and replacing the cabinet, and the result is better than new. The painters did similar quality work on repairing, finishing and painting the damaged drywall. Excellent attention to detail and craftsmanship. You may find someone that will underbid Doug, but you get what you pay for and I highly recommend Wolverine Custom Painting and Doug Fox.

They did it all! We were selling a property and what started as a few touch ups ended up being a lot of fix it’s. To their credit, they were never greedy and always presented lower cost options when available. They worked hard and were on time and within budget. Am definitely using them again!

Wolverine removed the spray-on acoustic popcorn ceilings in 4 rooms. They did a fantastic job. Their quality and attention to detail was better than I could have done myself. The final product changed the whole feel of the rooms. I was charged for supplies and hourly labor and I received a complete breakdown and all receipts. I would highly recommend them for any painting job and will likely use them again for future challenging paint needs in my home.

We have had Wolverine tackle a variety of projects from smaller remodeling jobs and painting to detailed carpentry. Doug is meticulous about his work and isn't happy until the job is done right. His team works hard, is respectful of my home and leaves the house neat and tidy. I look forward to hiring Wolverine for future projects.

Doug and his team did a fantastic job with drywall repair and painting of our great room, hallways and trim! We went out of town, turned the keys over to Doug and returned to what looked like a brand new home. Thanks for your great work and professionalism... it was worth every penny!

Doug and his team did a great job installing new flooring in my basement. I really appreciated how polite and friendly all the guys he sent to work on this project. I would highly recommend them!

Wolverine Custom Painting just finished a remodeling job for us at the end of June 2020. Two full baths were completely redone, included heating duct additions, tub removal and installation. The job included tiling, cabinet installation, carpentry (creation of new in-wall recessed cabinet, changes to soffits with drywall replacement) electric and plumbing. All electric and plumbing fixtures were replaced. Also, extensive lighting was replaced throughout the house to install LED recessed cans, and added lighting to the living room and kitchen.

Also, the two renovated bathrooms, kitchen, main entrance, back entrance, dining room, living room, master bedroom, halls, study, laundry room, 2 stairways , another bedroom and closets were all custom painted. All baseboards were caulked providing a very finished appearance. Custom carpentry was provided to trim specialty beams. The crew moved everything from the closets and pantry and were successful in getting the contents back to their appropriate locations.

The work was excellent – remodeling and painting. Doug Fox knows what needs to be done, and provides the work in an efficient order. The materials were on site before the work began so there weren’t delays waiting for materials to arrive. Wolverine Custom Painting gets the highest marks, A+.

Doug and his crew did a great job with our bathroom renovation. They were thorough and paid close attention to quality issues. Doug bid the job very accurately and the work was completed on schedule. The final price was lower than estimated, allowing us to get some additional painting completed in addition to the reno. We’ll be using them for additional projects in the future.
Highly recommended!

Edit- Wolverine has completed another Reno for us and did another great job.

Thanks!

We used Wolverine to paint the interior of our house. They did an outstanding job. The workers were very professional. When the job was completed, they offered to do touch ups. I honestly didn't see any real flaws that needed improvement. They also repaired some walls and fixed cracks in our windowsills. The price was fair and the job was well done...recommended.

Wolverine painted our home's exterior this fall. Doug and his crew are professional, friendly, attentive to detail and do beautiful work. Some carpentry was performed including replacement of 10 shutters. This was the third (and largest) project the firm has done for us. Very happy each time. Highly recommend!

We cannot say enough good things about Douglas and his crew at Wolverine. They have done an excellent job on our exterior and we couldn’t be happier with the result. They are all very professional, knowledgeable, well-organized and simply great to work with.
We had our our entire exterior painted and some trim/siding and about half of our deck replaced. Not only did they replace boards on the deck, but also made sure to stabilize it to make it safer for us to be on, they had a few great suggestions that we would not have thought of. They were very thorough and Douglas regularly came by to explain the happenings to us and to make sure everything was on track, changes or ideas were always discussed with us beforehand. Throughout the whole project, we always felt very well respected and as top priority customers (despite being just one job out of many).
With this company we invested in quality work that will hopefully last a long time. We feel like we have a new house. Thank you, Douglas (& Co.)!

Doug and Co. were great to work with and did high quality finishes. He worked hard to save us money as well.

Responsible, reliable, efficient, reasonable, and did a beautiful job on painting the exterior of my house. Like new again. We will definitely use again! Doug is truthful and easy to use work with, as are his crew.

It all starts with Doug, who is beyond knowledgeable, diligent, kind, and thorough. His standards are very high, and that shows in the marvelous work done by his team. Wolverine Custom Painting remodeled (transformed!) and painted both of our old bathrooms, which really needed an upgrade. We could not be happier with the results! They also came to our rescue when our large egress window, part of our music studio, began to collapse. Doug and his team completely fixed it and it is better than ever. Thank you Doug, thank you Wolverine!

Wolverine Custom Painting came highly recommended to us by family members that had gotten some work done on their house. We had them add an arch opening to our dining room and some other small updates to a home we're doing a major remodel on over the next few years. Doug was great to work with and the arch came out beautiful, we love it. We'll definitely be calling again for more help in the future!

We had some ipe columns that needed to be power washed/deep cleaned and new finish applied. Woverine did an excellent job in a timely manner! The final project turned out great and they left the work site spotless. Great people to work with.

I have used Doug and his guys to paint absolutely everything inside and outside our home and I have to say their work is excellent. They are clean and punctual and have always been considerate and respectful around my family. I have no reservations in recommending Wolverine for any painting job.
Although Doug and his guys can also help with paint colors, for the interior we combined their talents with the design skills of Elizabeth Jarzembowski and built a home with show-quality ambience, exploiting the natural light and external views to create a warmth and ambience we couldn’t have imagined on our own.

We were very happy with the work Wolverine did refinishing our deck. It was in bad shape and needed sanding as well as pressure washing. The job was thoroughly and carefully completed. Doug helped us understand the process and kept us informed throughout the process. He and his workers were courteous and efficient. We would use Wolverine for any future home maintenance project.

So pleased to have hired Wolverine Custom Painting to build my deck! Doug Fox and his employees worked efficiently, politely and in very friendly manner. Doug kept me appraised of the process and problems that arose and he found reasonable and economical solutions for them. I definitely will use Wolverine Custom Painting again and I highly recommend them.

Just talked to Doug and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Helpful in that even though he could not meet my timing expectations, Doug spent time explaining the details on how to get the deck cleaned and painted and the pros cons of paints. I would highly recommend Wolverine Custom painting,

I had a great experience working with Doug and his team and am happy I chose to go with them! They painted my kitchen, dining room, hallway and one of my bathrooms for a very reasonable price and did a great job -- I can't find any areas I'm not happy with. Doug especially went above and beyond, meeting with me at times that fit my schedule and even fixing a closet doorknob that had nothing to do with the job but that he noticed and I told him I was having trouble fixing. Great communication and follow-through all around and awesome clean-up job.

We hired Wolverine Custom Painting to renovate the first floor of our home. It started out with a kitchen renovation and adding a shower in our half bath. It later involved moving walls to accommodate a larger laundry room and create a mudroom storage area. The project took all summer and involved every single room in our first floor (except for one room that housed most of our furniture!). We chose Wolverine Custom Painting because we had a very positive experience with the company when they painted the exterior of our home the summer before. In addition, when getting quotes for this big project, Doug Fox, the owner, seemed to be the most reasonable and willing to work in our price range. He gave me all of the receipts for the project and helped figure out different ways to save money. He is a contractor who is willing to pass savings on to his customers. He walked me through the process of renovation and has a good team of subcontractors for electrical, plumbing, etc. The only recommendation I was not pleased with was an interior designer, Elizabeth J, who was unprofessional towards Doug and me. As with any major renovation job, there are frustrations and occasions when you have to make quick decisions. Doug was very approachable and easy to contact throughout the project. John, the foreman on the job, is a very skilled carpenter (and excellent at tiles as well). He was good at being able to solve problems while keeping in mind practicality and budget. Another Doug, who is a painter, was meticulous in painting the interior of our house. He even used his craftsmanship to paint the cement on the floor to look like the slate that did not quite extend below some of the cabinets we had taken out. Being that Wolverine Custom Painting specializes in painting, this renovation project was pretty big for the company. As a result, there were issues with billing since Doug oversees all of the building projects in addition to administrative responsibilities. He is honest, hard working and dedicated, and realizes the need to hire someone to help with office responsibilities. I would highly recommend this company to anyone willing to take a chance on a small company that is branching into the home remodeling world.

Doug and his crew worked with us this summer to remove and replace all of the trim and doors in our house. This was a lead abatement project which I was wary to do since I have young kids and was pregnant, but Doug and his crew took our family's safety very seriously. Doug worked with me for a long time before we started the project to determine the best approach. He was very flexible when the scope of the project changed and he kept us within our budget. All of the work they did was high quality. We moved out of our house while the work was being done, so timelines were important to us. The dates they gave us were accurate. Doug is one of the most responsive and trustworthy people I have worked with in this industry.

We have used Wolverine for two projects. The first one was a large basement remodeling job. The carpenters were super friendly and did great work. They were creative in getting straight corners in this old crooked house. They also worked quickly, so since they charge by the hour, we saved a lot off the quote & were unexpectedly able to afford them to paint too!
The most recent project was a few small drywall projects. As always, the workers were very friendly and clean. I was unhappy with the recent paint job because the color wasn’t matched well at the store, so Doug (the owner) drove out & repainted the whole wall the next business day. Excellent customer service!

This is the second project I’ve had Wolverine do for me. Again, I am pleased. They completely restored my deck and gazebo doing carpentry, sanding, pressure washing, screen repair and painting. Doug outlined the scope of the project and his different crews came and got the job done. All the workers are polite and competent. This will be the company I’ll call for future projects. Very professional and trustworthy.

They recently completed painting the exterior of my home and replaced any rotten siding. The crew was extremely professional and very detailed oriented which I appreciated. Also they were just plain nice people.
