Meet Taylor Teachout
Taylor Teachout owns Teachout Builders, the family business his father, Jeff Teachout, started in 1989. Taylor grew up around the trade and joined the company after graduating. Working full time in the business since 2009, and as its owner since 2018, he understands what goes into a well-executed project and believes in communicating honestly with homeowners.
Outside of work, Taylor enjoys spending time with his wife and their two children, especially family trips to Michigan's west-side lakeshore. He's also a Michigan State fan. Go Green!
How We Got Here
Teachout Builders began in new home construction. As the market changed, the company shifted its focus to bathroom remodeling, operating as a three-person team for a time.
As homeowners returned for additional projects and recommended us to others, the business continued to grow. The team expanded, and so did the range of projects we took on, from kitchens and larger renovations to additions and custom builds.
Today, Teachout Builders serves residential homeowners, commercial properties, and condominium associations throughout Greater Lansing. Our commitment to doing things right remains at the heart of how we approach every project.
Family-owned, and personally involved
Straightforward Answers. Lasting Results
For Taylor, doing a job right means more than the finished result. It means giving homeowners straightforward answers about what a project involves, following through on what's been agreed to, and paying attention to the details along the way. That's how trust is earned, and why it lasts long after the work is finished. The work is what does the convincing.

How We Work
Understanding the Project
It Starts With Your Goals
Every project starts with understanding what you want to accomplish, how you want to use the space, and what's important to you. We'll talk through your goals, what's involved, and what to expect so we can determine the right direction for your project.
Planning the Work
A Plan That Takes Shape Before Construction
We'll work through the project details and establish a plan together before construction begins. For projects that benefit from 3D design, we can also help you visualize the layout and explore options before work gets underway.
Project Coordination
The Right People Involved
Your project manager oversees the work, while Taylor stays connected throughout the process. The team works together to keep the project moving forward, with each person contributing where they're needed.
