Acheson Builders — custom homes and design-build remodeling in Ann Arbor, MI (50+ years)
Acheson Builders has been doing custom homes and remodeling work out of Ann Arbor for over 50 years. Owner Jim Acheson runs the firm with an interior designer on staff — that pairing is core to how they operate. The idea is that design thinking and construction execution don’t stay siloed, which produces a different kind of result than handing a homeowner a set of plans and building exactly what’s on the page.
The work shows up in kitchens where the cabinetry actually suits the family’s cooking habits, additions that connect cleanly to the existing house rather than feeling tacked on, and new homes where the floor plan reflects how people actually live. Acheson has been in the Remodelers Home Tour and the Ann Arbor Home, Garden and Lifestyle Show, where past project galleries let prospective clients see finished work in person.
Address: 1483 Newport Rd., Ann Arbor, MI 48103. Phone: (734) 668-1940.

Why it’s in the directory
