Why It Matters

Avoid Budget Overruns Before Design Begins

Most Oakland County homeowners start with Pinterest boards and contractor estimates that leave out key structural, finish, or permit costs. Without realistic figures early on, projects get delayed or go over budget.

Our 2026 Guide Helps You:

Know True Investment Ranges: Compare realistic scope costs across kitchens, baths, basements, and additions.

Compare Contractor Estimates Accurately: Learn what line items should always be included in a design-build proposal.

Prevent Mid-Project Surprises: Understand material lead times, labor costs, and permit requirements before breaking ground.

A clear budget does not lock you into one decision.

It gives you a smarter starting point.

Remodeling Experiences Worth Sharing

See why Oakland County homeowners choose Earth Stones for thoughtful design, clear communication, and quality craftsmanship from the first conversation through project completion.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We hired John and his team for a full house renovation that transformed our space. The quality of workmanship was outstanding and you could tell that this team takes exceptional pride in their craft. We are not easy customers, and came to the table with continuous ideas, feedback and requests. Bottom line is that Earth Stones does great work and wants their customers to be 100% happy with their work. We would highly recommend them for any scale job and we will be calling them for our next project.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

John D'Anna and his Earth Stones Group have earned our highest recommendation. At our initial consultation, John put us at ease with his knowledge, experience and creativity. We soon had a plan to transform our dated entire first floor living area, and our second-floor master bath. Project managers Jeff and Andrew were enthusiastic to keep the project moving at a steady clip and were sticklers for quality workmanship and detail delivered by the subcontractors. The results of our remodel are stunning, we are thrilled with the outcome. Earth Stones Group is fully capable of executing any remodel you can dream of.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After our fully-finished basement flooded, my husband and I found a contractor for our insurance claim - a complete loss of drywall, carpeting, etc. An unfortunate circumstance left us without that contractor and with a partially demoed basement. John and his team stepped in, gave feedback on what we were looking to do in our basement and elevated our plans. It has been a complete transformation. We love our beautiful bar area and new media room. More than a basement, we gained a new living space! We would highly recommend John and his team, and look forward to more beautiful home projects in our future.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I could not be more thrilled with my experience in having Earth Stones finish my basement. Each and every person involved was professional and kind. If I ever had questions about any aspect of the project, they were answered quickly. The project turned out exactly how I envisioned it would and that was only possible because of the work of the entire team, from the owner and office/design crew to the job supervisor and the subs. The pride and skill that each trade showed in their craft gave me a beautiful basement and the ethos of the company gave me probably the most stress-free construction experience possible.
