Brighton and Howell customer experiences
Customer experience
We live in Howell, and my experience with Community Construction was outstanding. It is rare to find a general contractor who is this communicative, transparent, and detailed. If you need home improvement work done right, I highly recommend Talal and his crew.

A clear plan before construction begins
Share your priorities
Start with project photos, the location, your budget range and preferred timing.
Define the work
Review existing conditions, product selections, allowances and approval responsibilities.
Plan the household routine
Agree on site access, communication, expected milestones and decisions needed during the work.
Local planning: start with the property’s jurisdiction
A Brighton or Howell mailing address does not identify every permitting responsibility. City and township boundaries matter. Before finalizing a deck, addition or remodel, confirm which offices review the proposed work.
Livingston County
The county Building Department identifies the City of Howell and Green Oak Township as outside its building and trade permitting jurisdiction.
Its local zoning-compliance directory helps identify municipality-specific requirements.
City of Brighton
For property inside the city, begin with the City of Brighton Building and Permits page. Confirm the current application process and any separate trade approvals for your scope.
City of Howell
Contact Howell Community Development for city building, planning and zoning questions. Distinguish a city property from a property in Howell Township when planning the application.
Green Oak Township
Use Green Oak Township’s Building Department for township permit information and contacts. Review the site and scope with the appropriate local office before work begins.
Additions, lake-area properties and site work
Bring information about property boundaries, access and any existing well or septic system to the planning discussion. The county’s residential permit guidance identifies land-use, site and utility approvals that may be relevant. The requirements for your project depend on the location and proposed work.
What affects remodeling cost in Livingston County?
A useful budget begins with the work required for your home. A kitchen update that retains the layout differs from one that moves walls, plumbing or electrical service. Exterior estimates also depend on what is underneath the existing materials.
Interior project costs
- Room size, layout and structural changes.
- Cabinets, countertops, fixtures, flooring and finish selections.
- Plumbing, electrical, ventilation and repairs.
- Access and temporary arrangements while the home is occupied.
Exterior and addition costs
- Area, height and site access.
- Removal, disposal and underlying repairs.
- Framing, connections, flashing and finish details.
- Design work, approvals, products and installation requirements.
Compare proposals on the same basis
Ask what is included, which selections are allowances, who handles approvals and how changes are priced. Compare the specific workmanship and product-warranty terms. Consider comfort, maintenance and your plans for the home alongside resale goals.

Read the testimonial excerpt
Actually, I hurt myself 16 months ago on a construction project right here and have been unable to finish it up myself. And I called Community and they came out to give me an estimate, and the people at Community decided to go ahead and do this for me—from a company that didn't have to help me out at all. So when you need something done, and you want true, honest people that are local, call Community.

Questions about remodeling in Livingston County
Do you serve Brighton and Howell from Lansing?
Yes. Community Construction is based in Lansing and serves Livingston County, including Brighton and Howell. Send your property location, project type and preferred timing so we can discuss site visits, scope and scheduling.
What remodeling services do you offer in Livingston County?
Our services include kitchen and bathroom remodeling, siding, roof replacement, decks, replacement windows, home additions and new residential construction. Use the service links above to explore your project options.
How much does a kitchen remodel in Brighton or Howell cost?
The estimate depends on the room size, cabinets, countertops, flooring, layout changes and existing conditions. Replacing finishes and moving walls or plumbing involve different scopes. Share photos, your priorities and a budget range so we can discuss options for your home.
Does Livingston County issue every remodeling permit?
No. The county identifies the City of Howell and Green Oak Township as outside its building and trade permitting jurisdiction. City, township and village processes can differ. Confirm your property’s jurisdiction and the approvals for the proposed work using the official resources above.
What should I consider for a deck or addition near a lake?
Discuss the property boundaries, existing structures, access, grading and local land-use requirements early. Site conditions and the proposed work determine which reviews apply. Material selection is one part of planning; it does not establish whether a particular layout can be built.
Can we stay in the house during a kitchen or bathroom remodel?
That depends on the scope and the areas affected. Before work starts, discuss access to the kitchen or bathroom, temporary arrangements, work hours, dust control and any expected utility interruptions. A phased plan may help when the home will remain occupied.
Can you coordinate siding, roofing and replacement windows?
We can discuss a combined exterior scope. Reviewing these improvements together helps identify the connections between the roof, walls and window openings, and plan the order of installation and finishing work.
How long will our remodeling project take?
The schedule depends on scope, selections, material availability, approvals, inspections and conditions found during the work. Ask for a project-specific start window and milestones. Exterior work also requires suitable weather and product installation conditions.
