Design-Build in South Lyon, MI
Reschka Design Build serves South Lyon homeowners with high-end main-floor remodels, custom home construction, and large additions. From the established neighborhoods within the city to the larger properties in Lyon Township, we bring design-build craftsmanship to western Oakland County.
Why South Lyon Homeowners Choose Design-Build
South Lyon and the surrounding Lyon Township area sit at the western edge of Oakland County, offering a mix of small-town charm, newer subdivisions, and rural properties with acreage. The area has seen significant growth over the past two decades, with housing that ranges from newer production homes in planned communities to custom homes on multi-acre parcels.
The remodeling work we do in South Lyon often involves updating builder-grade finishes in newer homes — replacing stock cabinetry with custom options, opening kitchen layouts that were designed with walls and peninsulas, and upgrading materials throughout the main floor. For older homes and farmhouse-style properties, the scope may include structural modifications, additions, and more extensive layout changes.
Custom home construction is also part of our South Lyon work. Lyon Township still has buildable lots and acreage parcels, making it one of the more accessible Oakland County communities for ground-up custom home construction. Our design-build approach manages everything from lot evaluation through construction completion under one contract.

Lyon Township properties on well and septic systems require Oakland County Health Division coordination for any work affecting these systems. Newer subdivisions are typically on municipal water and sewer, simplifying the permitting process.
