Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Ann Arbor — finding licensed contractors in SE Michigan
The Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Ann Arbor (BRAG) is a trade association representing home builders, remodelers, and related trade contractors in the Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County area. It operates as a local chapter affiliate of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
Member companies include residential builders, remodelers, subcontractors, suppliers, and service providers who work in the Washtenaw County market. The association offers homeowners a starting point for finding vetted, locally active professionals — member companies agree to follow a code of ethics as a condition of membership.
