Built on Faith. Grounded in Integrity. Focused on Bathroom Excellence.
A Purpose-Driven Start
Rare Gem Construction began like many great ventures—born from dissatisfaction and driven by purpose. I was working long hours as a trash truck driver, watching time pass while my skills and dreams sat idle. I knew I was meant for more.
That calling turned into action when I launched 517 Handyman—helping homeowners in the community with various projects. But it was bathroom remodeling where we truly found our calling and discovered our expertise.
Building a Foundation of Trust
As trust grew, so did our expertise in bathroom remodeling. What started as small bathroom repairs evolved into complete bathroom transformations that amazed our clients.
At first, I had no intention of hiring anyone—but that changed when I met Randy, Conner, and Alec. These three weren't just skilled tradesmen—they were men of integrity, humility, and shared values who specialized in bathroom craftsmanship.
Together, we built the foundation of what is now Rare Gem Construction, anchored by our core values and focused exclusively on bathroom excellence.
Our Core Values
Respect for All
We treat every customer with dignity and kindness—no matter their budget. Every family, every bathroom, every story matters.
Integrity Without Compromise
We are honest in our pricing, transparent in our process, and faithful to our word. We do what's right—even when no one is watching.
Service Through Excellence
We give our best on every bathroom project, because excellence is our standard. Every bathroom reflects who we are.
Bathroom Specialization
We focus exclusively on bathroom transformations, from walk-in tubs to full renovations, bringing unmatched expertise to every project with our in-house crew.
Faith in Action
We aim to reflect Christ in all we do—through compassion, humility, and a servant's heart.
Teamwork and Discipline
We unite through shared purpose and commitment, delivering results with focus, collaboration, and unwavering dedication to bathroom excellence.
Growth Through Unity
As our team grew stronger and more united, it became clear that keeping this crew together was my highest responsibility. We aligned not only in our craftsmanship but in our purpose.
Soon, we became known across the greater Lansing area as the go-to team for affordable, high-quality bathroom remodels. The word spread. Our reputation for bathroom excellence reached further. That's when we met Johnny.
Johnny brought to the table what we were missing—a background in design presentation, customer support, and sales strategy. But more importantly, he shared our heart for people and our commitment to bathroom excellence. With Johnny on board, a new vision took shape.
The Birth of Rare Gem Construction
Rare Gem Construction isn't just a remodeling company—it's bathroom remodeling done right.
