Let Us Reintroduce Ourselves

If you’re planning a home project in 2026—or even just starting to think about one—we want to take a moment to properly reintroduce ourselves.

We’re Community Building Services, a residential and small business construction company serving the Greater Lansing area. While construction is what we do, people and community are why we do it.

This new blog is here to be a resource—not a sales pitch. Our goal is to help you make informed, confident decisions about your space, whether you’re remodeling a bathroom, upgrading a kitchen, building a deck, or planning for aging in place.

Our Mission: Build With Purpose, Not Pressure

Our mission is simple: to provide honest, high-quality construction services that strengthen homes, businesses, and the Greater Lansing community.

We believe construction shouldn’t feel confusing, intimidating, or rushed. Too often, people feel pressured into decisions they don’t fully understand—or left in the dark once a project starts. That’s not how we operate.

We focus on:

• Clear communication

• Realistic expectations

• Thoughtful planning

• Quality work that lasts

If we wouldn’t recommend it for our own home or business, we won’t recommend it for yours.

Our Core Values

Unapologetically Fair

From pricing to process, we aim to be fair in all we do.

Quality Driven

Our attention to detail ensures we do our best to get it right the first time. 

Communication

With an open line of communication, we keep you in the loop from start to finish.

Accountability

We take responsibility for our performance and strive to honor commitments we have made.

Innately Kind

Kindness matters. We hope to be kind to you and our team members every day.

What We’re Seeing for 2026 Projects

As we look ahead to 2026, we’re seeing clear trends—especially among millennials and Gen X homeowners who want their homes to work better for real life.

Here are the projects we’re most often helping clients plan:

🛁 Bathroom Remodels

From functional upgrades to accessibility-focused layouts, bathrooms are one of the most impactful spaces to improve—both for comfort and resale value.

🍽 Kitchen Remodels

Kitchens continue to be the heart of the home. We’re seeing a focus on smarter layouts, better storage, durable materials, and designs that balance style with everyday use.

🧓 Aging in Place Modifications

More homeowners are planning ahead—wider doorways, zero-threshold showers, improved lighting, and safer layouts that allow them to stay in their homes longer without sacrificing design.

🌿 Decks & Outdoor Living

Outdoor spaces are no longer an afterthought. Decks and small exterior builds are becoming true extensions of the home—designed for entertaining, relaxing, and year-round enjoyment.

🏠 Small Exterior Builds

Sheds, entry upgrades, covered patios, and other small-scale exterior projects that add function without overwhelming the property.

Why This Blog Exists

We started this blog to:
