Wolverine Contracting Design+Remodel merges your vision with our quality. We specialize in Kitchen, Bathroom and Basement remodeling. Our unique process of contracting opens the door to savings for all clients, thus cushioning their budget and allowing them to maximize renovation potential while maintaining attention to detail. We’re focused on building relationships with our clients. Our goal is to deliver a clear and transparent contracting experience. Integrity, communication, customer service and catering to the requirements of each client is a priority. We’ll provide a cleanly, safe and well-organized project environment while ensuring our high quality of craftsmanship. General Liability and Worker’s Compensation Insurance is a standard for our company. With 35+ years in the building trades we stand behind the work we perform and have the references to back it up. Wolverine is Sustainably conscious, and we believe it’s vital to purchase our remodeling materials locally from trusted suppliers and small businesses. As often as possible, our company utilizes environmentally friendly green building supplies, reclaimed materials, Top-Grade Low VOC, Zero VOC, LEED approved primers, paints & finishes. * Hourly & Day Labor rates are available upon request.

"Wolverine Contracting Design + Remodel provided us with exceptional craftsmanship for our renovation. They weren’t our cheapest option but their unique cost-plus process of contracting, clear & transparent labor rates and discounts saved us thousands on our projects. We have never seen a company operate in this manner, but it just made complete sense to us, and it works extremely well. Along the way we were a bit indecisive and made a few changes which added work to the original scope, increased our budget and timeline, however Douglas immediately shifted into another gear and was able to incorporate our changes within the original design. He is extremely honest, trustworthy and knowledgeable of his trade. His communication skills and integrity were second to none. I don’t know how he handles all the stress, but he makes it look easy. All team members and subcontractors were respectful of us and our home and a pleasure to work with as well. We highly recommend Wolverine Contracting and will be contacting them for any future projects."

"High Road Construction provided me outstanding carpentry services, when I called them, to secure the sliding bath room and closet barn doors in my house. Their young carpente, Jack, arrived promptly the very next day, did excellent custom carpentry on my barn doors and kitcen cabinets and installed cedar planks to house the top rails on which the barn door wheels slide, Now they don't get derailed accidently by young children when they run into them. Jack was efficient, competent, friendly and helpful and did an excellent job at a fair price. Thank you Jack. I highly recommend him for custom carpentry services and I will be using him again whenever I have a need for carpentry services."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
