Built on Trust: 30 Years of Remodeling Homes—and Relationships

With 30 years of experience, Paulson’s Construction is a family-owned residential remodeling firm known for thoughtful design, expert craftsmanship, and relationship-driven service that helps Hidden Lake homeowners create beautiful, functional spaces they love living in.

For more than three decades, Paulson’s Construction has been improving lives by improving homes—and for the past 10 years, they’ve done so as the longest-standing sponsor of STROLL Hidden Lake. That longevity speaks volumes. In a community built on trust, reputation, and relationships, Paulson’s Construction has earned its place as a go-to remodeling partner for many Hidden Lake neighbors and friends.

Founded in 1996 by lifelong Michigander Paul McClorey, the company was born from a clear vision. After seven years in the new-build industry, Paul set out to create something different—an organization dedicated exclusively to residential remodeling, where craftsmanship, scheduling, and respect for clients’ homes were nonnegotiable.
“Our mission has always been simple,” Paul shares. “Satisfying customers by doing what we say we’re going to do—when we say we’re going to do it.”

That commitment to follow-through is something clients consistently experience firsthand. “They did what they said they were going to do,” shared Frank and Lori T. “Very pleased.”

Today, Paulson’s Construction specializes in residential remodeling projects of all sizes, from kitchens and bathrooms to whole-house remodels, additions, finished basements, porches, decks, windows, doors, and historic renovations. In a housing climate where many homeowners love their location but need their space to better fit their lives, Paulson’s helps families stay rooted—while reimagining what’s possible within the homes they already love.

Because Paulson’s focuses strictly on remodeling—not new construction—their team is uniquely equipped to handle the complexities of existing homes. From resolving unforeseen challenges to seamlessly blending additions into original structures, experience is a defining advantage.

Clients also benefit from a thoughtfully designed showroom in Howell, where one-on-one guidance and a true one-stop-shop experience make the remodeling process feel approachable and stress-free.

Behind the scenes, Paulson’s remains a small, family-owned company with a close-knit team and a trusted group of subcontractors—many of whom have worked alongside them since the beginning. This year marks another milestone as a second generation joins the business, with Paul’s son, Peter, stepping into the company.
The heart of the business has always been the people. “We really get to know our clients—they become like family. Most of our work comes from repeat clients and referrals, and that means everything to us.”

That sentiment is echoed by longtime clients. “We would not hesitate to recommend Paulson’s Construction,” shared Dan and Sally A. “They are the best contracting company we have ever worked with.”

Every project is backed by a standard three-year warranty and a reputation supported by multiple industry awards from organizations such as the National Association of the Remodeling Industry and Qualified Remodeler—recognition earned through third-party, peer-reviewed evaluation.

After 30 years, the projects may vary, but the philosophy remains unchanged. As Paul puts it, “Quality always matters. We focus on value; that’s what lasts. Because, after all, long after the sweetness of a low price wears off, the bitterness of poor quality remains."

Paulson’s Construction is proud to continue serving Hidden Lake and surrounding communities. Neighbors with questions or future remodeling plans are always invited to reach out and start a conversation.
