Making Homeowners Feel “Right at Home” at MANS
“I didn’t know MANS did that!”
It’s a statement we hear surprisingly often…and a reminder that we need to “Keep on Building” the strong relationships we’ve been forming with homeowners across southeastern Michigan — even as we’ve been doing so for more than 125 years!
Though some may think of MANS strictly as a trusted lumber and building materials provider to builders throughout metro Detroit, there’s actually a lot more to MANS. In fact, if you’re a local homeowner looking to either build a new home, undergo a major renovation, or simply upgrade some aesthetics or functionality to your home, it’s highly likely that MANS has exactly what you need!
From full-service kitchen and bath design and remodeling to stocking large selections of doors, millwork and cabinets, and from outdoor decks and windows to laundry rooms and mudrooms, there’s much more to MANS Lumber & Home than many realize.
DYK: Yes, We Can Do That!
Here are some of the service lines that we have learned come as a surprise to many homeowners working with MANS for the first time. Of course, for a complete list of everything MANS Lumber & Home has to offer, we invite you to meet with someone from our design team , learn more about our design and installation services , or browse our complete catalogue of product offerings .
“I didn’t know your showrooms were open to the public!”
Many assume incorrectly that you have to be a builder to walk into one of our six locations across the southeastern Michigan region. Not the case! In fact, we have carefully selected sites that are conveniently located and accessible to our entire community of customers. Even our office locations are available for scheduled appointments. (Our showrooms and lumber yards allow for walk-ins. Hours vary by location ).
In fact an in-person visit is often the best way to view materials, meet with design specialists, browse inventory, and choose options. Not sure which location is closest to you? Give us a call and we’ll welcome you to the location most convenient to you!
“I didn’t know MANS did flooring!”
We sure do! In fact, we offer a wide range of flooring selections, styles and samples. Our experienced staff helps narrow down all the choices and works with homeowners to align our offerings with each client’s preference for design, quality and budget. From laminates to natural hardwood, from carpeting to luxury vinyl tile, and from installation to refinishing existing flooring, we have the partners, products and professionals to make your floors come to life!
“MANS does kitchens? And baths?”
Not only do we “do” kitchens and bathrooms, we’ve spent decades mastering the many crafts it takes to make kitchens and bathrooms beautiful showplaces that are equal in their aesthetic appeal and their functional utility. We’ve done so many successful kitchen and bath projects over the years that we’ve written the “Comprehensive Guide to Consulting with a Full-Service Remodeler for Your Kitchen or Bathroom Renovation,” which is a great place to start if you’re considering updating your kitchen or bathroom.
Bonus tip: We even have extensive experience in laundry rooms and mud rooms!
“You carry interior doors in-stock and ready-to-deliver?”
MANS is proud to be a supplier of a wide range of doors to our local homeowner clients, with prehung units offering just three to five days’ production time.
Additional styles and sizes available, many within five to seven days. Because MANS has a complete millwork shop onsite, we are able to provide custom machining to match the existing and exacting specs of your home, with many jamb sizes and door types available. We also boast a wide variety of hardware colors to choose from – in stock and ready for your selection!
“You offer HOW MANY millwork profiles?!”
As discussed in detail here , millwork is one of the most cost-effective yet bold ways to breathe new life into the interior of your home. (In the world of home design and renovation, millwork refers to any wood products that are custom-made in a mill and applied to the interior of a home.)
“Cabinets and countertops and composites, oh my!”
To cut to the chase, perhaps we should put it this way: If it goes in, on, or around the home, there’s a good chance that MANS Lumber & Home provides it, designs it, delivers it, installs it, and warranties it.
Our representative line card provides a big-picture overview of everything that MANS has to offer (including more than 10 in-stock cabinet lines alone!). But if you can see it in your dreams but don’t see it in our product catalogues, call us anyway…there’s a great chance that we have exactly what you need!
Make MANS the First Call You Make!
All of this to say: the next time you think “home improvement,” think MANS! You don’t have to have your building contractor contact us to get exactly what you need, you can call us first! In fact, we have spent 125 years building carefully vetted relationships with the most reliable contractors and installers in the market.
