"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with North West Home Solutions, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their work in restoring our basement. From the very beginning, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to detail. They took the time to listen to our needs and concerns, offering expert advice on the best way to approach the restoration. The project was completed on time, and the crew made sure to keep everything clean and organized throughout the process. What really stood out was their commitment to ensuring everything was done right, and they didn’t cut corners."

"My microwave failed and, after a very rapid response and a complete evaluation by a technician, Choice Home Warranty decided it was better to replace it. I got a Lowe's debit card for a significant amount and acquired a brand new Microwave to replace our old one. I am very happy with the response and action of Choice Home warranty on my account with them."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Select materials engineered for cold climates and heavy snow loads during your home building process. Insulated concrete forms provide excellent thermal mass for deep frost walls. Use closed-cell spray foam insulation to block moisture and handle extreme freeze-thaw cycles. Install a durable metal roof to easily shed heavy snow. Finally, choose fiber cement siding and triple-pane windows to keep your MI home comfortable and protected year-round.

Helpful?

Gather your legal parcel description, current deed, and a survey plat showing existing property boundaries. You should also provide soil test results, wetland reports, and topographic data for sloped lots. Document any neighborhood restrictions, historic district designations, and shoreline setback requirements. Finally, clearly outline your intended property use, desired square footage, and utility preferences to help local professionals perfectly execute your Petoskey home building plans.

Helpful?

Start your home building preparation by confirming whether your property falls under city, county, or township jurisdiction to ensure zoning compliance. Order a soil survey, perc test, and topographic survey early to properly plan your foundation and septic system. Apply for permits months in advance to avoid seasonal backlogs. Finally, schedule your foundation work for late summer so the concrete cures before the MI winter freeze begins.

Helpful?

Home building trends in Petoskey focus on maximizing natural views and ensuring year-round comfort. Large window walls and wraparound porches perfectly capture surrounding lake views. Homeowners prioritize four-season livability by adding dedicated mudrooms for winter gear and oversized heated garages. Energy-efficient geothermal heating systems and whole-home generators provide reliable comfort, while natural wood and stone exteriors beautifully complement the surrounding northern Michigan landscape.

Helpful?

Many homeowners underestimate how the harsh local climate impacts home building timelines. Petoskey receives heavy lake-effect snow, compressing the outdoor construction season to just six months. You must also account for deep frost lines reaching 48 inches and spring thaws that delay foundation work. Additionally, navigating distinct city and county zoning laws or environmental regulations for waterfront properties requires significant time before construction begins.
