History & Philosophy
Our History
Sign created and painted by Bob’s late father, Carl Burnside. This sign hangs at the front door of our model home and office and the motto still rings true for our team at Fireside Home Construction.
Fireside Home Construction has been building custom homes and providing general construction and quality renovation services since 1996. Headquartered in Dexter, Mich., since 2004, Fireside Home Construction had its start in Genesee County. An award-winning green builder, Fireside Home Construction has been proud to call Michigan "home" in both locations and prouder, still, to have consistently been considered one of Michigan's premier green homebuilders and remodelers.
An active member of the Builder's and Remodelers Association of Greater Ann Arbor and the National Association of Home Builders, Fireside Home Construction is committed to excellence, quality and superior customer service. One ingredient of our commitment is the fact that we love winning awards that set us apart from the competition! The other element is a strong commitment to staying in touch with ever-evolving styles, design, construction standards and techniques in home building — while staying true to our fundamental and constant business philosophies.
We have built every single Fireside Home Construction project as if it were our own.
Our Building Philosophy
With homes and projects ranging from 1,200 square feet to more than 11,000 square feet and with every imaginable size budget — large and small — Fireside Home Construction achieves excellence in homebuilding by putting its client's needs and desires first and then aligning them with other important company goals, including:
High Standards: We conduct ourselves according to the highest standard of business and moral ethics and approach every job — big and small — with an open mind, open lines of communication, a positive attitude, and an outstanding teamwork model.
Superior Energy Efficiency: We learn and make use of the very latest technologies and most advanced construction techniques to build energy efficient new homes and to update existing homes to today's energy efficiency standards.
Environmental Stewardship: Through ongoing learning and ongoing assessment of our processes, Fireside Home Construction works to create the safest place for people to call "home" and to reduce each home's impact on the environment.
Superior Customer Service: Our focus is relationship building through the delivery of valid information, honest guidance, and superior workmanship in all of our services.
