"Services: Unclog drain, Repair toilet, Repair pipe. // Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness // Haines was recommended to me saying they were good at their job. I called them Monday, Feb 15th about a clogged drain, they came out Tues Feb 16th at the time I was told they would be there, which was great! They were there from 3:30 pm to 6:50 pm. Some repairs had to be made to the laundry tub drain and my toilet had to be lifted so they could access that portion of the drain. After the toilet was replaced, the shut-off valve leaked, so I asked them to replace that also. The work that was done created quite a mess... BUT, when they were finished you would never know that. Everything was cleaned up so well and disinfected, it looked nice and smelled nice. The workmen were very professional and knowledgeable about their job. I will add this company to my contacts as a reliable source for repairs."
"The finished shower install is exactly what we wanted. Looks great. The installers were courteous , pleasant and at times, humorous. Good experience for us."
"Home Pro was friendly and professional. Our bathroom looks much nicer and everything is working well. I wouldn't hesitate to call Home Pro if I needed a bathroom remodel in the future"
"The team that installed our windows and slider were wonderful. Stayed late to finish the job and even showed us how every window and door worked and all of the options each had."
"We are pleased with our bath remodel that included a new tub, tub surround and wainscot walls. There was one small problem with the walls due to the ceiling and walls not being plumb however they did go above and beyond by doing more than was was agreed upon by making plumbing improvements, installing a new lighted medicine cabinet and repairing a light fixture. They were very courteous and the installer even made a suggestion for a change that we agreed would be better."
"I gave a 4 for value for money as I have nothing to compare it to. It cost $9K to drill troughs, enlarge sump with 2 separate drain lines through foundation 10â into yard, battery backup and alarm in my 8x8 crawl space/Michigan basement. Steve, Tom & Dakary worked tirelessly to get the job done right in this challenging old home with access to crawl space under staircase to 2nd floor! They were friendly, professional and left the house spotless when done. I highly recommend this crew, VERY hard working and extremely knowledgeable. Thanks guys!"

Functional plumbing repairs require permits and licensed professionals, while purely cosmetic updates like swapping a faucet do not. However, opening walls for aesthetic changes in older Manistee homes exposes corroded pipes or outdated venting. Plan for functional remediation when starting cosmetic work. Additionally, schedule functional exterior repairs around the local freeze and thaw cycle, whereas interior cosmetic fixture replacements offer year-round flexibility.

Your home's age and water source dictate the scope of plumbing updates. Older properties feature galvanized or lead pipes requiring full replacement. Check if you rely on municipal water or a private well, as well systems demand different pressure and treatment setups. Additionally, high water tables near Manistee waterways make foundation drainage and sump pumps critical for basement projects. Always verify your flood zone status before starting below-grade work.
Helpful?
Address compromised pipe insulation and failing sump pumps immediately, as MI winters bring severe freeze risks and heavy spring snowmelt. Delaying these repairs leads to basement flooding or burst pipes. Schedule non-emergency plumbing projects in the fall or early winter. Local professionals book up quickly during the summer cottage season, and frozen ground from December through March prevents exterior trenching or septic drain work.
Helpful?
Install thermostatic mixing valves during plumbing updates to prevent scalding, as water heaters run hotter to combat cold Manistee winters. Add sealed covers to open basement sump pits to eliminate drowning hazards for small children and pets. For older homes, use point-of-use filtration systems until you replace lead service lines. Finally, test private well water regularly for bacteria and nitrates to ensure safe drinking water for your family.
Helpful?
Homeowners underestimate the extensive lead times required to book licensed professionals for plumbing projects in MI, especially during the busy summer season. Planning must also account for mandatory freeze protection, like insulating new pipe runs or adding heat tape. For rural properties, expanding a bathroom requires a strict septic capacity evaluation. Finally, replacing lead service lines involves complex coordination with local authorities, temporary water shutoffs, and yard excavation.
