Skilled Work on Century Homes
Construction work here often means expanding and modernizing the older bungalows, Cape Cods, and Craftsman homes that fill the city, most built between the 1920s and 1970s. Projects run toward dormers and rear additions that add space to small original footprints, full renovations of century-old homes, and teardown-and-rebuild infill on tight lots. Because the market moves fast and lots are compact, careful planning around setbacks and staging matters.
Experienced with Compact Lots
This city pairs a highly walkable downtown along Main Street with older neighborhoods like the Northwood subdivisions and the mansion corridor of Vinsetta Boulevard. The housing is largely 1920s through 1970s bungalows, Cape Cods, and Craftsman homes on compact lots near the Farmers Market and Starr-Jaycee Park. Freeze-thaw winters are hard on these older foundations and roofs, and the tight lots mean additions and rebuilds need careful planning.
Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you offer here?
We are a full-service construction company serving the area with custom home building, home additions, kitchen remodeling, basement finishing, roofing, siding, windows, decks, pole barns, demolition, and excavating.
Can you add space to a small bungalow here?
Yes, and it is common local work. The older bungalows here often have small original footprints, so we build dormers and rear additions that add bedrooms and living space while matching the home's character. Home additions let you stay in a neighborhood you love with the room you need.
Do you do teardown and rebuild projects?
We do. With the fast local market and compact lots, some owners choose to remove a small older home and build something new in its place. We plan carefully around the tight setbacks these lots require, handling the demolition and the new build together so the project goes smoothly.
Are the older homes here hard to remodel?
They take experience. Century-old homes here often have compact kitchens, dated systems, and quirks that come with age. We have renovated many of them, opening up layouts and updating the space while respecting the character. Older foundations may also need attention before basement finishing.
What are common projects on homes in this area?
The most common projects are dormers and additions, kitchen and bath modernization, and full renovations of older bungalows and Cape Cods. Roof and window replacements come up often too, as these homes reach the age where original materials need replacing to handle Michigan weather.
