94 years of showing up
Companies don't survive nine decades in Detroit construction by missing dates or walking away from punch lists.
Nine Decades on the Job
Detroit built the century.
We built the rooms.
The Arsenal of Democracy
Leggette crews work through the wartime construction boom as Detroit converts to war production and Southeast Michigan builds at full capacity.
The postwar boom
Suspended acoustical ceilings become the language of the modern American office — and a Leggette specialty — across Metro Detroit's new commercial corridors.
The specialty deepens
Ceilings, drywall systems, and Division 10 interiors for offices, healthcare, education, and retail — the full interior package under one contract.
RELCO
94 years of field craft, now paired with our own material supply division — trusted with commercial scopes averaging over $1M each.
Selected Work
The ceilings you've stood under.
Offices, healthcare, education, and retail across Metro Detroit — if you've worked, healed, or learned in Southeast Michigan, there's a fair chance RELCO built the room.
