"Lake Michigan Painting and Remodeling helped us with our full home remodel (interior and exterior and basement). It was a breeze working with them, they were very fast, reasonable, and easy to work with. From moving from out of town, it was so nice to trust a company that made me home renovation one less thing to worry about. I will call them when we move again in several years time."
"I love it! Framing and hanging sliding doors that separated kitchen from living room. This is a project that I have wanted to do for a long time and finally got it completed. I own a manufactured home (or as it is called now a mobile home). These homes usually have unique openings and require customized or special orders. John was extremely helpful and brought my vision of what I wanted into reality. He also provided some suggestions which proved to be extremely beneficial. He was quick and efficient with his work. John framed the space from floor to ceiling. John did framing, molding and trim, dry wall (in the space above the doors on both sides), sanded and painted. I will definitely use him in the future and highly recommend this service."
"JLM's work was high quality and performed efficiently. I'm adamant about neatness, and this team exceeded my expectations. The bathrooms--two were done--look beautiful and function reliably."
"Fabulous experience! Matt is an excellent artist and communicator. He responds so quickly and with HUGE and friendly knowledge! I'm thrilled with his talent and immediate attention to my front door custom railing project! It's now beautifully installed and couldn't be more perfect! MANY MANY THANKS MATT! :) :) :) Marilyn K./Applegate/Kalamazoo, Mi."

They did Roofing and Gutters for us as well. We checked out references, and all of their expectations were exceeded. True Craftsmanship by the entire team."
"Update on the work on my driveway. They will be coming back to replace the second half of the driveway, but not until October because it couldn't get scheduled before that."
"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.
Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it’s more affordable to build a wooden playground than it is to buy one and have it professionally installed, but it might be less expensive to invest in a pre-made plastic playground, even if you pay a professional to install it. Wooden playgrounds tend to last longer, but as children age, they will become less valuable. Overall, it may be most affordable to have a pro install a pre-made plastic playground.
The foundation for a pole barn should be at least 36 inches thick to ensure that the piers won’t shift from frost heave.
Barns and barndominiums are most commonly painted red, like barns depicted in movies and paintings. The practice of painting barns red dates back to America’s colonial days, when new farmers would borrow the European practice of mixing linseed oil with ferrous oxide to coat the barns in order to protect them from the elements, leaving the structures with a red color.
Complex plumbing is tricky and expensive in an off-the-ground dwelling like this. By considering options like composting toilets, rainwater collection, and gray-water sinks, you save money and help the environment.
