Why Choose Us?
Let’s be honest – every contractor promises quality work and fair prices. So what makes us different? It’s not just what we do, but how we do it. Here’s why Metro Detroit homeowners keep choosing (and recommending) Leach Construction.
👨👩👧👦 Family-Owned Since 1965
Three Generations of Trust
When you work with Leach Construction, you’re not hiring a franchise or dealing with corporate policies. You’re working with a family that’s been part of Metro Detroit since 1965. Started as Rich & Sons Home Improvement, we’ve protected thousands of Michigan homes from harsh winters and scorching summers.
What does family-owned really mean for you?
- Owners Dennis Leach and Michael Perri personally oversee every project
- We treat your home with the same care we’d give our own family’s
- Our reputation in the community matters – we’re your neighbors, not strangers
- When issues arise (they rarely do), you talk directly to decision-makers
💯 The Professional Difference
What “Professional” Really Means
Professional isn’t just showing up on time (though we do). It’s the complete experience of working with contractors who respect you, your home, and your time.
You’ll notice the difference:
- Clear Communication: We explain everything in plain language, no confusing jargon
- Detailed Estimates: Every cost itemized and explained, no hidden surprises
- Clean Job Sites: Daily cleanup that leaves your property better than we found it
- Reliable Scheduling: When we say Tuesday at 9 AM, we mean it
- Respectful Crews: Uniformed professionals who treat your family and neighbors with courtesy
🏗️ Licensed, Insured, and Certified
Expertise You Can Verify
Being a licensed Michigan Residential Builder isn’t just paperwork – it’s proof we’ve met rigorous state standards for knowledge, experience, and ethical business practices. We’re fully insured, protecting both your investment and our team.
This means:
- Every project meets or exceeds Michigan building codes
- Your home and property are protected throughout the project
- We handle all permits and inspections properly
- You have recourse through state licensing boards (though you’ll never need it)
🛠️ Quality Materials, Trusted Brands
No Shortcuts, No Compromises
Here’s what most homeowners don’t realize: the difference between materials that last 10 years versus 30 years might only be 10-15% in cost. We’ve learned which brands stand up to Michigan weather, and those are the only ones we’ll put on your home.
Our preferred partners include:
- CertainTeed Landmark shingles for roofing – proven performance in extreme weather
- James Hardie fiber cement siding – won’t warp, crack, or fade like vinyl
- Diamond Kote pre-finished siding – beauty that lasts with a 30-year warranty
- Seamless aluminum gutters with hidden hangers – no visible fasteners to fail
We’ll always explain why we recommend specific materials and show you alternatives if you prefer.
🎓 Education Before Estimation
We’re Teachers First, Contractors Second
Most contractors rush to give you a price. We’d rather take time to help you understand your options. Why? Because educated homeowners make better decisions and have fewer regrets.
During your consultation, we’ll:
- Thoroughly inspect and document your current situation
- Explain what we find in terms you understand
- Show you different solutions with honest pros and cons
- Discuss realistic timelines and what to expect
- Answer every question until you’re completely comfortable
