Ryan R., Bloomfield Hills, MI
“My husband and I have worked with Chris on six projects, in two different homes, since 2011. He has rebuilt our garage, completed an exterior remodel, constructed a front porch, installed a stamped concrete patio, renovated our kitchen, tuned countless aspects of both homes (e.g. basement stairs, basement floors, garage doors, indoor lighting, HVAC) and designed, built and installed custom pieces we both rely on and treasure (e.g. rolling work benches, nightstands, office storage). In Chris, clients will find a unique combination of designer, craftsman and contractor; a multi-disciplinary perspective that influences each project, yielding aesthetic, functional outcomes. Chris is a strong, clear communicator with a close-knit support team. Together they solve problems, personally implementing solutions and/or integrating additional resources/trades, as needed. We trust Chris and his Birdseye Contracting team implicitly and look forward to collaborating on many projects to come…”

“Chris Nelson / Birdseye contracting was the perfect home improvement partner in every way. From Chris knowing my preferences and anticipating what I wanted - and needed - better than I could, to meticulous detail that always made for a perfect end product, their work is the highest quality I've ever seen. Birdseye remodeled my bathroom, living room and bedrooms, installed a generator, fireplace, wine bar, new sump pump and remodeled my basement after a flood. There is nothing they can't do.
I am an absolute stickler for detail and I loved how I could always trust that Chris and his team would take the time to do everything right. No short cuts, no surprises, just the best quality and delivery as promised. I get constant compliments on Birdseye's work. I give them the higher recommendation possible. Worth every penny. “
