"Jason and James were complete professionals. They ran into some interesting issues in my 85 year old home, with much original plumbing. Nothing got in their way of leaving me with a beautiful shower/tub. And they left the worksite spotless. Thanks guys,,"

"Professional service from inspection/bid right through installation of crawlspace lining, dehumidifier, and sump pump. Jake, Tim, and Josh were respectful of us and our house/property. Communication on arrival time was much appreciated. A little pricey but I believe you get what you pay for and I should have done this years ago. We did not have water issues but an earthy odor and this appears to have fixed this. Well done guys."

"Beware of the sales pitch, they keep stacking on deductions if you sign that day.
On completion of the installation, the bathroom looks great, but there were problems due to previous owners hidden wall once the old tub was removed. My concerns were that the installer and myself had different goals. He wanted to complete the job and I wanted choices. I lost. When we ran into problems and I asked what my options were, his responses were always and quot;I haven't decided yet.and quot;
The wrong tub size was ordered because of the false wall and I asked, and quot;Well it's just a tub, can we put in the right size?and quot; Didn't happen, and no options were offered. Options I thought of later such as 1. stop installation and order the right size; or 2. push the tub back two inches and give more floor space. Instead, a false 2 inch plywood wall was built behind the tub.
Another problem was the tub itself. I order the 17 inch high model thinking I would have more depth from my old 15 inch tub. Not so. Beware of inside tub not being the same depth as outside tub due to support feet under the tub of aproximate 2 1/2 inches. A 17and quot; tub measure 13 1/2and quot; on the shallow side and 14 1/2and quot; on the drain side. Plus the drain hole drops the actual water depth to 10 1/2 inches at the deeper end. This was not pointed out to me before purchase. In my opinion this is a manufacture flaw. The installer helped my out by plugging the drain hole.
I had to search and purchase the new floor tile. I made the right choice and it looks georgous. It was a hard job installing it because the old sub-flooring needed to be removed to match the curve of the previous wall tiles. A lot of unexpected dust. After two days dry time, I applied a sealer. However there were cracks in the grout after two weeks. Ken came back and fixed it and I applied the sealer again.
The third problem I had was a squeaky wall. Apparently the acrylic wall by the head rest was not sealed properly and it sqeeks when I use the tub and rest my head. Ken came back and tried to fix it by inserting foam behind the tub but was not successful. At least it's not a visable defect.
All in all my advice would be take your time and explore other options. Maybe I could have chosen all tile walls instead of acrylic and paid the same price. Go to your tile store and ask their advice before you sign with anyone. They might have more options. However my bathroom looks great and it will serve me for many more years and it is a step-up from what I had."

Customers say: True professional

"Dave, once again, did a fantastic job. I live in a small old, old house and he tackled all the problems that come with working on a house that is tight on space and just plain crooked with ease. He's great at answering questions and trying to help you find solutions to problems that aren't even on his list of "to-dos". He doesn't just care about getting the job done he cares about the person or family in the home as if it was his own family. If you are looking to renovate a preexisting space, Diamondwood is your team."

"We recently hired North Creek Construction and Renovations for a complete bathroom remodel, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, Kirk and his team were professional, communicative, and committed to delivering a high-quality finished product. The craftsmanship is outstanding! The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the remodel. They helped us pick out materials that not only fit our style but also our budget. We’re especially happy with how they transformed the space while maintaining a functional design. The communication throughout the entire project was top-notch. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, Kirk was responsive and kept us updated on progress. He was always happy to answer our questions, and we never felt out of the loop."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Upgrading your plumbing in MI provides immediate protection against severe winter freeze damage. Adding pipe insulation and servicing well connections before late fall prevents stressful mid-winter emergencies. Over time, proactive updates reduce cumulative damage from annual freeze-thaw cycles. Properly functioning systems also increase your property value, especially if you plan to sell a seasonal or vacation home. These improvements keep your home safe and fully compliant with current standards.

Helpful?

Always secure the required permits before starting plumbing work. Call 811 to locate underground utilities prior to any excavation. You must also confirm whether your Kalkaska property uses municipal services or a private well and septic system. Schedule below-grade work between late spring and early fall to avoid the extreme difficulty of digging through frozen ground. Finally, obtain a recent water test to select the correct materials for your specific groundwater chemistry.

Helpful?

Your home is a strong candidate for plumbing upgrades if it features uninsulated pipes in unheated crawl spaces. Older Michigan properties built between the 1950s and 1980s feature galvanized steel lines that corrode over time and require replacement. Additionally, slow drains or declining water pressure indicate aging well and septic components. Converting a seasonal cottage into a year-round residence also demands comprehensive winterization and code-compliant fixture installations.

Helpful?

Keep heat tape and pipe repair clamps readily available to handle emergency winter freezes in Kalkaska. Homeowners on private wells must maintain water test kits and pressure gauges to monitor system performance accurately. Maintain detailed records of your septic tank pump-out dates to anticipate future maintenance. Finally, store all plumbing permits, inspection records, and well logs safely, as these documents remain essential for future upgrades and property sales.

Helpful?

Thorough plumbing in Kalkaska requires a passed final inspection on your permit. Reliable work includes heavy pipe insulation in unheated areas like crawl spaces to prevent freezing. Check that water service lines sit at least five feet deep to avoid frost. Additionally, verify that fittings resist corrosion from the area's soft, acidic groundwater. A licensed contractor will ensure your system meets these strict local standards.
