My wife and I hired Sterling in the fall of 2022 for a new construction project on Gilbert Lake in Bloomfield Township. It was one of the BEST decisions we’ve ever made. Not only was their communication clear and concise, they were patient every step of the way as my wife and I were frequently changing our minds regarding different aspects of the home. Sterling was always patient with us as we navigated the hurdles of dealing with the township restrictions, and we never felt rushed or pressured when making final decisions. They exceeded our expectations in every way, most notably with their professionalism and quality of craftsmanship. We are grateful every single day with the home they built for us. I have and will continue to recommend anyone to Sterling that’s in need of a renovation project or new construction. Todd, Marc, Alice, Joe and team will not let you down!

I am very particular about the quality of work I expect, especially when it comes to my renovation projects, and Sterling Custom Homes did not disappoint. I have used them for two projects and may be starting a third with them soon, which speaks to the confidence I have in their work.

Todd Emerson and his team (especially Lisa) were knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with throughout the process. They were responsive whenever I had a question or concern, and I appreciated their practical approach, attention to detail, and commitment to doing the job properly. Their pricing was reasonable, and the quality of workmanship reflected the care and experience they bring to their projects.

I would confidently recommend Sterling Custom Homes to anyone looking for a reliable custom home builder or renovation company that takes pride in its work.

Sterling undertook the challenge of renovating the 1986 home I purchased in the midst of COVID. The home is complete, and it is stunning. Their supervision of the trades was excellent. Their in-house carpentry staff is top-notch. Todd, Marc, Alice, Joe, and Kaitlyn were patient, responsive and had many creative, and beautiful ideas to update the home.
