I've had a great experience with Universal Wall Builders! My goal was to completely renovate my Midtown Detroit loft. To this end I thought to engage formally the services of an interior designer; Nicole, however, assured me that she could envision a design which would more than fulfill my desire to create a beautiful space. The faith I placed in Nicole has been absolutely rewarded. I couldn't be more pleased with the results of her creativity. I was very pleasantly surprised to see for example custom upholstered treatments in places which now are seating areas. Nicole also commissioned a talented local artist to paint a mural on the hallway wall, and as for the bathroom--well, it's just fabulous! Nicole utilized materials of excellent quality and saw to it that the workmanship employed throughout the project matched her deeply felt requirements. At the project's conclusion, all debris was taken away, and my space is clean. I've really appreciated Nicole's integrity, which she has demonstrated from day one. Lastly, Nicole has created a gem at my property, and she thankfully did this all within my budget! Thank you Nicole!

Working with Universal Wall Builders was an exceptional experience from start to finish. They flawlessly brought my kitchen design to life, installing a new tile floor, cabinets, counters, and more. The attention to detail and craftsmanship were evident in every aspect of their work. The team was professional, efficient, and respectful of my home throughout the entire process. I couldn't be happier with the results, and I highly recommend Universal Wall Builders to anyone looking for top-notch construction services.

Once again Universal Wall Builders does it! After Nicole Miller helped me design and replace my kitchen countertops I called again when I had a leaking shower that damaged my lower level as well. She quickly assessed the damage and guided me through the repair process. What sets them apart from other companies is that she personally helped me design what I wanted down to the smallest details. She worked tediously bringing me options for the tile, flooring, accessories and paint colors according to my taste and her visionary creative input. The workers were courteous and efficient. Nicole is "Literally" hands on and I astoundingly watched her cut and install tile down to the most intricate details! She is an honest, professional perfectionist who treats your project like it's her own home. I wholeheartedly recommend Universal Wall Builders!!!

Universal Wall Builders built stairs for my deck and stained it. I’m extremely pleased with the quality of the work and look of the stairs and deck. The stain on the deck is beautiful! See attached photos. I plan to use this company for future projects. Universal Wall Builders updated the look of my fireplace by replacing the tiles. Per the before and after photos below they did an excellent job and the fireplace beautiful. They were helpful in suggesting the design and materials. I’m extremely pleased.

Nicole is an amazing, confident, and thorough contractor. She came to me at the recommendation of my mortgage broker. I had been experiencing a mess of a time with three previous contractors for my repair project and was frustrated and discouraged. From the second Nicole came on the scene, I was relieved. She was able to give me the glimpse at the end of the tunnel that I needed in order to restore my hope with my water damaged house. I spoke with her more times in one week than I had with the previous contractors over the course of months. Nicole went through every bit of the process with a fine tooth comb to ensure that everything on the list was addressed while also keeping to the discussed budget. Communication throughout the process was phenomenal. She was quick to answer any questions that I might have, was reliable when she said she planned to do something, and kind- her patience knows no bounds. Another thing that I feel needs to be discussed is her integrity. Each contractor that I spoke with previously had described ways that they would flat out lie seemingly in my benefit. Nicole did nothing of the sort which compounded my faith in her and her work. Lastly, it should be noted that her work is top tier. She oversaw every part of the project. She went through after the work was completed to make sure that the work met her high standards. When she saw work that was not up to par, she had it redone and corrected. Cabinets moved over inches, different screws used, anything that would bring the project to the next level. Her attention to detail is impressive. All in all, Nicole is an exceptional professional contractor. She made a nightmare of an experience palatable and I look forward to working with her again.

TLDR: The worst experience I have ever had with a business before, would not recommend these services to anyone. more info below: Part 1: Insanely long project To start this story I would like to say I heard of Universal Wall Builders through a close friend who hadn't worked with the company yet. At first, they were very professional and detailed oriented with the quoting process however everything after this point was horrible. I requested that both of my bathrooms be retiled and to have new bathroom doors installed (I did the demo myself). I was quoted for 7-10 days, however, the actual project timeline was as follows: Demo completed on 3/20; retiling work started on 4/5; 90% complete on 4/23; project finished (after legal action was threatened) on 6/11. I was unable to shower in my home during this entire timeline and had to travel to a friends house in another city to shower. During the project, I was repeatedly told there would be contractors at my home only to have no one show up (this happened on at least 20 days during the project). I would frequently have to follow-up only to be told they would be there the next day. Again they never showed up. Eventually I got tired of this and told the contractor I want the project completed or I would be taking additional action in small claims court. Part 2: Unfinished work If you decide to work with universal wall builders after reading this, you should expect to be charged additional amounts outside of the original quote for work that was not considered at the time of quoting. I personally find this to be extremely unprofessional and a horrible way to run your business. The customer should not pay for mistakes made by their contractor. In terms of specifics, there were 3 major mistakes made during my install which required the cement backing wall to be removed and then re-added. Each of these times were not due to any change request I made but instead mistakes made by the contractor. I was asked to pay for these mistakes but only paid for 1. Additionally, my ceilings have red waterproofing paint and cement on them and there are drywall nails exposed on adjacent walls to the retiling. When I asked the contractor if she planned to fix my ceilings/walls I was told this wasn't part of the quote but she'd be happy to quote me for it. I said no because I didn't have red paint, exposed nails or cement on any of these surfaces before the work. The contractor made this mess they should clean it up, its not additional work. Finally, my house was left in complete disarray. There were tools, buckets full of water/cement, dirt, excess materials and cardboard paper left all over my house. I had to clean all this up myself. Part 3: Quality of the work Honestly, the quality of the work is a 3/4 out of 10. The design I came up with actually looks really good so if you glance at my bathroom it looks nice. However, when you get inside the showers its a different story. there are many places where the tiling isn't straight, there is excess grout in every corner, there are tilling pieces sticking out of my shower niches, and the grout lines are uneven. This is way below the standard I would expect from a professional contractor. It feels to me like no pride was taken in the work completed. Part 4: Recommendation All in all I wouldn't recommend this contractor to anyone. I think the worst part of this entire experience is not at a single time did the contractor recognize that I was displaced from my home and they never took responsibility for their mistakes. I would've expected more from a business owner, if you make a mistake all you need to do is take responsibility and fix it. but instead I was asked if I wanted to pay more money for their mistake, go bother someone else with that nonsense.

I used Universal Wall Builders when I bought my house because they're on the NACA preferred contractor list, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The timeline did end up being much longer than originally anticipated, however the vast majority of that was due to the amount of time it took me to complete all of the additional steps necessary to satisfy NACA. Joshua, the flooring specialist, did the flooring in my entire house except for the bathrooms, and did a phenomenal job. He took the time to ask me questions about how I wanted everything to look, and has the expertise to know what would make things look best at a good price point. I got carpeting upstairs and LVP downstairs, and the work completed is absolutely flawless. I would highly recommend them to anyone, especially if you're looking to replace your flooring!

I recently purchased my first home and had the kitchen completely gutted and remodeled. I was nervous before choosing a contractor because I love to cook and bake and so the design of my kitchen is very important. Nicole was AMAZING!! I am not an interior designer by any means and could not put together what I wanted. All I knew was that I wanted my kitchen to be open (it's a small space) and beautiful. Nicole was able to put together exactly what I was looking for, including opening the kitchen up. I did not feel rushed or pressured at all about any of the designs. Despite having to deal with issues caused by Covid-19 and timing delays, my kitchen is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and I couldn't be happier. Universal Wall Builders did an GREAT job!!

I had a very good experience with Universal Wall Builders. Nicole is the best, I couldn't have asked for a better company to perform the work on my home. The work was done professionally and timely. Nicole and I spoke and agreed on the work to be performed and she made it happen.
