Yellow Rose Builders

I have hired Greg Pauley several times and have been very satisfied with the work. Prices are reasonable and the finished product is great. His concrete work is superior! I highly recommend Greg and this company!

Worked with Greg and his team to build a new garage and put in a driveway. Every aspect along the way was completed according to what was discussed and he also worked with a schedule that was with what needed to be done by other companies as we had to have DTE come out and move our gas meter. Greg also assisted in putting insulation in our attic. We would definitely use this company again for major projects on our home.

I’ve hired Yellow Rose on several jobs for my parents house and my own house. From basement foundation repairs to roofing they have always done a great job.

The team at Yellow Rose Builders was excellent. I had a retaining wall and steps repaired. The entire process went smoothly. I had tons of questions before starting the job. Shawn and Bobbi responded to every call/email quickly, and with absolute professionalism. Greg and Carl (the craftsmen who completed the repair) were skilled, experienced, and obviously took pride in their work. The job was completed on budget, on time, and met my high expectations.

Yellow Rose put a new front porch and a new sidewalk up to the house. They did a wonderful job. The new brick matched the brick on my 58 year old house really well. They did it timely and professionally and let's us know what to expect as we went through the process. And their price was reasonable. I would highly recommend them.

This is my 2nd time working with Greg, Bobbi and the team. They were very helpful in making renovations to my home and garage. They were even patient with my grands who asked a lot of questions—even let them roll the paint brush a few times. They were very helpful in choosing my new room, hallway and foyer colors and I love it!
I have recommended them to my neighbors.

I hired Yellow Rose to rebuild my front porch. The end result is a five star porch, but the experience of having the porch rebuilt cost them a star. Work commenced quickly after I paid them a deposit, and a crew was on site on 80% of weekdays to demolish and rebuild the porch. The job was completed inside of two weeks. I paid them the remainder I owed upon completion, and thought we were done.

Trouble came less than two months later. They had poured the porch pad, roughly 15 feet long with no expansion joints to mitigate cracking, and sure enough a crack quickly formed in the porch pad right next to my front door.

I called the office and they said they'd send someone out to have a look at it and go from there. If someone came to look at the porch at the time we agreed upon, they did not ring the doorbell or make any effort to make their presence known. I called the office the next day, and they assured me someone had been by to look at the porch and that they would take care of the issue. I was told to expect a follow up call with details.

A week went by. I called the office again. I was again reassured that they would take care of the problem and to expect a follow up call. This process repeated for months.

After much pestering, they sent a representative to my house who told me that they didn't warranty cracks in concrete, but "to make me feel better" they would cut a straight expansion joint along the crack. The crack was neither in the center of my porch nor perpendicular to the front of the house, so this was not an acceptable solution in my opinion. Thankfully, I had done my homework.

Their initial written estimate stated that they guaranteed the quality of workmanship and materials. I reminded the representative to this and pointed out that initially pouring the porch with no expansion joints was a defect in the quality of workmanship and that adding a crooked expansion joint to cover the crack after the fact would be the same. After I made this point, he said he would have to talk to his boss.

I was prepared to take them to court over this, but thankfully, I didn't have to. My guess is that management realized that a judge would see things my way if it came to that, and I got a call that same day promising they'd demolish and repour the porch pad with expansion joints. A crew showed up a week or so later and got the whole job done in a day and a half, and I am finally satisfied with the quality of work performed.

Yellow Rose is great to work with, provided they're able to do the job right the first time. Getting them to fix issues after the fact and to honor their guarantee after they've been paid is a challenge. I got the distinct impression that they were actively trying to get me to give up and leave them alone, which is really a shame. My impression of them was overwhelmingly positive until it came time for them to do the right thing and correct their mistake.

AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. The work done is not good. The top of the porch has already started falling apart, in less than one year it started falling apart. The sidewalk slab, similarly, has cracked already. It has took nearly a year to have the porch built, and it was at least $1500 more expensive than their estimate.

I called and texted both the guy working on it and the company itself more times than I can count since September 2022. Sometimes they showed up, sometimes they did not show up when they said they would. Finally after a year, the work had been completed, but I still had to chase down the company to get the site cleaned up, because the guy ghosted.

UPDATE 2023/2024: Less than a year later the concrete cap they poured is crumbling apart aggressively, and the sidewalk slab is cracked and obviously in bad shape. The bricks seem fine, but maybe they'll also fall apart? I called the company to allow them the opportunity to fix it, but have not heard from them and I am not going to play 1 more year of "chase the contractors" again.

Don't hire this company if you want things done with any amount of speed, quality, or value and without having to constantly follow up on your own, which is frankly exhausting.

Even the work isn't very good. On top of that, this experience has been generally awful and stressful which means they get a one star from me. Honestly I wish I could give them 0.

They did an excellent job on demo and put back of new brick, cap and columns on our back porch. Greg and his crew were easy to talk to and convey any issues or concerns. Bobbie is equally as easy to communicate with , would recommend to anyone?

We had our chimney repaired and had received quotes from other companies. However, Mr. Greg from Yellow Rose came to our home and gained our trust and confidence. He did an excellent job and the cost was affordable. Ms. Bobbi was our first point of contact when we called the Yellow Rose. She was so personable and friendly. Thank you Yellow Rose, we will be using you again.

Nathan at Yellow Rose fixed my front porch. The result was clean and beautiful. Nathan is the mason to ask for when calling the Yellow Rose. Thank you!

Nathan did an excellent job! He was very responsive to communication, gave me the best quote in town, was able to come out same week to get the work done, and worked around my schedule. He provided pre and post pictures of both his tuckpointing job of the chimney (he even removed the bat that was living behind the broken bricks) and of the bathroom roof vent terminal he installed and connected. He was efficient, polite, professional, and I couldn't recommend this company more! Great service and I'll definitely be calling them again for future projects!

Greg and his crew from Yellow Rose Builders recently did some much needed tuckpointing and gutter replacement on my 1930s Dearborn brick home. They were fast and did great work. Instead of just using standard color mortar, they took the time to tint the mortar so that it blended in nicely with the existing brickwork. As a result, it was hard to even tell where the repairs had been made. Greg also personally made sure the replacement gutters were installed exactly as we wanted: white gutters with brown downspouts. I would highly recommend Yellow Rose Builders to anyone looking to get home repairs done!

Really great customer service and excellent work. The office staff was a great help and very efficient at getting someone out quickly to give a fair estimate. Ron fixed our chimney and he and his assistant worked extremely hard - even in the heat - to make sure it got done and quit leaking. It was a messy job, but they kept our yard as clean as they could. Very professional! I’m happy I chose them to the job.

Shawn and his crew did great work to fix my porch step. I appreciated the way they went out of their way to fix an additional step that needed repair. The steps look great and the work was done fast. Very professional and courteous service. I would definitely recommend their company to friends and family.

Thanks Yellow Rose for the porch replacement on our home. Shawn was great to work with. Nathan and other workers was professional and completed the task timely. Thanks for suggesting the railings company. They was good to work with too.

We have done multiple projects with Greg and his team and they have done a great job. We have been super happy with our roof, chimney and siding work that has been done at our home. We think they are a great group of guys and are already planning our next project with them. I highly recommend them to anyone that needs something done.

We would like to express our appreciation of Yellow Rose Builders, who successfully fixed our roof on our church. They were timely and professional. Thank you, excellent job.

Just used these guys to pull out a built-in room A/C unit and a gas heating unit from the exterior of the house. They rebricked the holes (matched the brick well) and patched the interior paneling. I worked with Greg. They know what they're doing and produced quality work. Good pricing and efficient. I would use them again.

We had a challenging porch project that required a complete reconstruction and redesign. Bobbi and Shawn were responsive, helped us think through our redesign options, and listened to what we wanted prioritized in the process. We got all of our questions answered along the way and they shared additional information about care and design we wouldn't have even known to ask about. I will definitely call on their team again for future building projects!

I called Yellow Rose Builders to get an estimate on a porch repair, they came out the next day and gave me an excellent price that I couldn't pass up. They repaired my front porch and even fixed my broken step that is at my side door. Excellent job! Very professional and very friendly! If you ever need work done I suggest giving them a call, I know I will be calling them back to do some repairs inside my house.

In need of new gutters, a siding repair and a chimney repair I was looking for a company that could do it all. I initially contacted a different company but they were very unresponsive. Friends recommended Yellow Rose so I decided to give them a try. I am SO glad I did. The team was very friendly, responsive and professional. Everything that was done was thoroughly explained to me. Pricing was fair and the job was completed within the promised time frame.
I cannot say enough nice things. I will definitely use Yellow Rose for my future home projects and recommend that you do too!!

My original experience was a 1. Started off as a 5, but ended with a 1. My score is a 4, because I finally got it "settled" today. Am I happy? No. Do I want this done and move on? Yes. Nathan did what he could this morning, so I appreciate it. It seems all my issues stem from third-party contractors at YRB that support the smaller jobs like mine I'm guessing. This contractor manager is no longer with them, so I hope that makes their lives easier as well as future customers. I wish them well.

We had lots of jobs to be done on our home. Greg came out to provide an estimate. He said he would send it over but didn't. Called him again to ask about sending the estimate over and again said he would. Still no estimate a week later. Decided to go with another company.

they came out and told me an estimate, told them i wanted to think about it , they said they would send me the estimate, a week later and NO estimate , sent message on Friday, Bobbi said she sent a message to Greg, Monday sent another ,NO response, Wednesday another Message, still no response

I used Yellow Rose Builders for a massive tuck pointing job on my garage. I live in an historic district and they were knowledgeable on the type of mortar to use. They were prompt, professional and did a wonderful job. I would definitely recommend them. I am also planning to request a quote for an external paint job as well.

This company came to my rescue when my stairs started to deteriorate before my eyes and left two huge holes within days. The mailman could not deliver my mail so I needed someone ASAP. Shawn gave me a quote and he also explained to me that I should never put rock salt on my stairs, I never knew that. They replaced the stairs in 24 hours. They did a great job and I highly recommend them. My hero’s !!

I've used yellow rose three times now. They have constructed interior brick walls for me on each occasion, both full brick and veneer.The talented brick masons have listened carefully to what I asked for and produced exactly what I wanted. They are very careful when they work and do a thorough cleanup when done. Everyone associated with the business has been very pleasant to deal with and take great pride in how the jobs get done. I highly recommend them

I received a fantastic job with The Yellow Rose. The quality of the work I had done was outstanding. I enjoyed working with Shawn and Ron and the professionalism they brought to the whole project. I would highly recommend doing business with them.

We are recommending Yellow Rose Construction to all our family and friends. Greg and his team are true professionals/craftsmen. You name it... they can do it!! They even performed a very difficult job during this unpredictable weather here in Michigan... for a very responsible price and finished in a timely manor. They also left the job site immaculately clean. We have been getting compliments nonstops thanks to their job well done. I assure you... you will not be disappointed! Thanks again Yellow Rose Builders!

Don't hire!! I felt the price was ridiculously high and yellow rose builders took advantage of my situation because I'm in a time crunch closing in a couple of days. I ended up hiring another company who charged a fraction of the price and I'm giving them a 7 star rating and future business with the rest of my properties. Thank you R.A.R construction Services

I was trying sell a house and after the city inspection, we felt very overwhelmed. The city literally nailed ya on every detail from big to minor and this was a very stressful time for my whole family. After calling several companies to come out and look at our porch, I was lucky enough to come across Yellow Rose on the internet. From my very first conversation with Bobbi (office manager maybe) I found myself more calm. One of their Supervisors, Greg, came out to my house and went over all the details and explained to me how we were going to do what was needed to fix my entire masonry porch to pass inspection. We preceded with the project and as we progressed in the exploring of the porch they found other issues that weren't anticipated but Greg stayed professional the whole time and worked with me to make necessary changes needed. He came up with all the ideas to make this porch one of the best looking porches on the block. The company did this job at a fast pace which made it great, so we could get the house up on the market as soon as possible. He also explained to us other things on the list that we really had no idea what they meant. I cannot say enough about this company and the PROFESSIONALISM of Greg. A big thank you to Yellow Rose and Greg for all your help!

i had my house stucco fixed and painted including all windows aluminium trimmed . they done a very good job .

Called and had an appointment for Saturday morning 8 a.m. for siding repairs. no one showed up. I explained I needed these repairs so to avoid a ticket from the city and I needed it done ASAP . Called to find out if they were coming out they said they were coming out Sunday. No one showed up. I called Monday they said they were coming out. no one showed up. Tuesday I called they said that someone would come out Tuesday so far 2:30 in the afternoon no one showed up or called. Remind you they are aware I could get a ticket any day now. I talked to my neighbor about it and told him the name of the company. they said it's a good thing they didn't show up they showed me some of the work that they did on their house and it was very shotty. I guess I dodged a bullet. Very unreliable. If I could give them zero Stars I would.

Sterling did excellent work on my front porch steps (tuckpointing and replacing broken bricks). Whereas other contractors flat out gave up on finding matching bricks, Sterling went the extra mile of blending in the replacement bricks with my existing ones. He is very professional and did not do 'short-cuts' in addressing the issues of my steps. Highly recommended.

Bryan has been over to fix several leaks that others were unable to repair. I have been very happy with his service.

Our skylight was leaking. Bryan arrived promptly, and made the necessary repair. We are well satisfied with the work performed. Bryan was courteous and professional, and the price was fair. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Yellow Rose Builders to my neighbors.

I highly recommend Yellow Rose for chimney & roof repairs. They did a great job fixing our leaky roof. Sterling Mino re-bricked the chimney and made a custom cement cap. He also reinstalled and sealed the flashing kit. One guy on the roof and one guy on the ground - they worked hard and removed all the debris quickly. Great job!

I recently had two porch steps replaced. The steps were replaced while I was at work. They left the work space neat and clean the only way I knew the work had been done was seeing my beautiful new steps. Yellow rose builders are very professional and do a great job. I highly recommend them!!

Terrible experience. Johnny quoted me a very high price for a small roof on an addition because he said my decking was all rotted and needed to be replaced. When they were done, there was no old decking in the dumpster, a hole in the new roof with a shoddy patch job, a vent was removed that he was supposed to leave, shutters not reattached, and they cut my cable line to the TV. It took nearly a week of daily arguments, countless missed appointments, and constant excuses for them to reconnect the cable and put a decent patch on the roof which is still just a patch job.

Fabulous is all I can say. I contacted The Yellow Rose company in regards to some repair work for my garage. They immediately contacted me and came out and looked at the repairs needed. Gave me a price which I agreed upon. Then told me they would definitely be able to come out the next day to do the repairs. I was amazed since other companies I contacted never even called me back and when I contacted these companies all I got was OH I haven't had a chance to get any prices and my calls were never returned. I would highly recommend The Yellow Rose Builders as they did a fantastic job and left no mess. Thank you Greg for a job well done!

Barb Isaacson, Dearborn Heights., Michigan

Greg and the crew he supervised were thorough and professional. Of all the contractors I have used over the years they did the best job of cleaning up after themselves; everyday they removed the debris from that day's work. The finished product is everything I wanted.

I have an old house, built in 1929. I am not sure if the plumbing is that old, but it was really creaky, and in need of an upgrade.

Chris of Yellow Rose was upfront when he came out for the consult. The house was old, so there was no easy way to tell how much pipe they would have to replace, or how many walls they would need to knock into (the house is plaster, not drywall.)

Fortunately, we only had to replace one wall pipe, and Yellow Rose had a n excellent plasterer/painting crew. There was also some surprise electrical work- due to some legacy wiring not being done correctly.

The work was done quickly, and with a minimum of disruption given I had most of the old/corroded pipes in my basement yanked out. I would recommend Chris and Yellow Rose and will use them again.

Had a great experience dealing with Yellow Rose builders. Will be calling them for future work and would recommend them to my friends and family.

After a brief communication problem which they resolved immediately, Yellow Rose people were amazing! The job was done - brick and pavers, porch repair - in 90+ degree heat, and the guys worked really hard to do the job well. We are very happy with the results, and highly recommend Yellow Rose Builders.

I definitely would recommend Chris for any Job. we first met him 5 yrs ago and he did some little jobs for us. His first big project with us made our guest bathroom a focal point people talk about and after that he installed hardwood flooring in our living and dining room and kitchen and did a wonderful job at a very reasonable price. He is very easy to work with and very honest upfront. We are currently downsizing and looking for a new smaller home, but all of our remodeling will definitely be done by him again. Keep up the great work, but make sure you can always squeeze us in !!!

I had a very good experience with Chris at The Yellow Rose. He communicated very well with me and returned all of my calls. I was very pleased with his work. I would highly recommend him. Sequel must add, I have great concern over the insistence by the Yellow Rose Company to pay the bill immediately after the job was completed. Certainly, I do not have a problem paying my bills. However, it was unprofessional to insist on being paid the same day. I am unhappy with this and think others should be aware of this.

I love my new deck! It is beautiful and was completed in a timely manner. Chris kept me well informed throughout the project. Couldn't be happier.

I hired Yellow Rose Builders for a roof repair and was impressed by their timeliness, professionalism, and efficiency. I had the pleasure of working with Johnny who was prompt for our appointment, inspected my roof and explained the issues and answered all of my questions. The crew was on time, professional, repaired the roof and cleaned up all the debris. I was very pleased with my service and would hire them again. I would highly recommend them to someone else.

The company was very professional and efficient. They were timely as well as cleaned up all the debris from the roof replacement. The entire crew was professional and worked to complete the work in one day.

I would highly recommend this company for roof replacement.

Cleaned Gutters on June 24, 2015

They did a great job cleaning our gutters and while on the roof, replaced a chimney cap and trimmed a few branches extending over the roof.......completely satisfied by their work.

We are very happy with The Yellow Rose. We hired them to clean out, demo and clean a home for a family member that had a fire and no homeowners insurance. They understood and cared about our situation and didn't take us to the cleaners. They installed a new roof for us as well. The communication was constant along with pictures of the progress. Was willing to meet with us at our convenience to discuss certain aspects of the project. We will be using them for projects on our personal residence and will be passing their name along to our friends and family.

Chris from Yellow Rose was awesome, did a great job on my Redford and Hazel Park properties. No need to do micro managing with these guys

I had both of my bathrooms remodeled and Chris has done an excellent job. Working very hard to finish the work fast helped us a lot. I will definitively think on them for my next improvement project. Keep the good work...

We had a terrible experience with this company. We scheduled a chimney inspection weeks in advance and when the time came for them to come out, nobody showed up. We called the office and they apologized and said that they must have forgotten to write us in the schedule. We were frustrated but tried to reschedule again for the next week. Once again, nobody showed up. When we called the office to find out where they were, they told us they overbooked again. This was 2 days I had to take off of work to be here when they came, and nobody showed up. That is ridiculous. One overbooking I can understand, but two? That's not a way to run a business.

Just a word of warning if you're planning on using this company- don't.

I am very pleased with the service i received from Yellow Rose builders. Very professional, prompt, and clean. I will definately use them again in the future and refer them to family and friends

The Yellow Rose staff were all extremely competent and polite. they did a good job of keeping us informed as to what was going on.
