Our History

A Premier Lansing Home Remodeling Company Is Born

Lansing’s trusted home repair and remodeling contractors for over 40 years…

Brunette Home Improvement was established in 1982 by Mark Brunette in Lansing, Michigan. With nothing more than a truck, some tools, and a lot of determination, Brunette has grown from this small one-man operation into the cornerstone company you know today. With thousands of jobs under his belt, Mark continues to grow the company with his son, John, and a team of craftsmen specializing in their respective areas of expertise.

Our personalized services as home improvement contractors in Lansing, MI are sealed with an intentional customer service approach and many awards that highlight our continued commitment to you.

Brunette - Home Improvement Contractors Lansing, MI

Mark Brunette began his journey in contracting work in 1982, driven by a passion for quality craftsmanship and a determination to make a difference in the industry. After encountering the challenges and shortcomings that many homeowners face when working with contractors, he saw an opportunity to raise the standard of service. This vision led to the creation of Brunette Home Improvement, a company committed to offering exceptional quality, personalized attention, and a reputation built on trust—not just another name in the crowd.

We Don’t Just Fix Roofs — We Look After Lansing

Brunette Home Improvement was created with a dream to serve Lansing. And not just for a few years, but for decades, leaving a lasting and positive impact on the well-being of local families. When Mark Brunette started doing contracting work, he vowed that the customer would always come first. ‘You’ attitude helped Brunette grow as a business, and after a few years of positive feedback, the company was already able to handle much bigger projects.

These days, people call it customer relations. Mark Brunette has been calling it “taking care of the community” long before someone could leave a review about a business
on social media.   Today, Brunette Home Improvement is no longer a one-man operation. We have grown into one of the longest-running family businesses in the area and now have the manpower and expertise to take on any commercial or residential project.
But at its core, our company hasn’t changed. As dedicated home improvement, renovation, and repair contractors serving the Mid-Michigan area, our mission is to serve our clients to the best of our abilities through fast and top-quality services.

Brunette is a family name that does not believe in overnight success. We have worked hard, delivering quality work at a reasonable price each and every time.

From project to project, home to home, and family to family.

Why Community Was Brunette Home Improvement’s Key to Long-Term Success

We love emphasizing community in our work because it has played a vital part in Brunette’s over 40 years history. The people of Michigan are helpful and kind. That’s why we
always strive to give back.

It’s more than getting up at 4 AM in February, packing up your tools and going to help a neighbor in a roof- or window-related emergency. We as Lansing home builders are committed to put our clients first with honest consultation, even if doesn’t directly benefit the company.

Though, it is fair to estimate that every project we’ve done has benefited the company as an example of responsibility, style and attention to detail. That’s why dozens of contractors who failed to see that went out of business in the last three decades. Competition is high, and the only way to survive is to focus on the client’s needs first.
