Harbor Springs has a standard that most communities in Northern Michigan don't match. The homes in Harbor Point, Wequetonsing, and along Lower Shore Road represent some of the finest residential properties in the Midwest, and the homeowners here expect contractors who can work at that level. Custom Built brings the craftsmanship, the design capability, and the project management discipline that Harbor Springs projects require. If you're ready to talk about what your home could be, call us at (231) 244-8423.

Custom deck design and construction
Harbor Springs outdoor living is about elegance and the bay. Whether you're on Lower Shore Road with direct Lake Michigan frontage, in a Birchwood Farms property with wooded surroundings and golf course views, or on a walkable lot near downtown, a well-designed deck transforms how you use your home. Generic pressure-treated structures don't belong here, and they don't last either.
We design and build composite and cedar decks scaled to Harbor Springs properties, and as the region's only Trex Pro Platinum contractor we bring exclusive labor warranties and design capability that other builders in this market simply can't match. Whether you're building a multi-level bay-view deck near the Little Traverse Yacht Club or replacing a structure in a Birchwood Farms community, we manage City of Harbor Springs permits and all engineering requirements. Every composite deck build comes with our Lifetime Guarantee.

Luxury kitchen design and full remodeling
Harbor Springs kitchen projects are a different conversation from most markets. The homeowners we work with here aren't looking for an update. They want a kitchen that handles large summer gatherings without feeling like a staging area, with commercial-grade appliances, custom cabinetry built to their specifications, and finishes that feel as considered as the rest of the home. Whether you're in a historic Wequetonsing cottage or a newer custom build near M-119, we work at that level.
Our team manages the full kitchen remodel from the initial design through the final hardware, including the structural work that often comes with reconfiguring Harbor Springs homes for the kind of open, connected layouts these households want. Whether you need a full kitchen remodel or a targeted luxury upgrade, we manage City of Harbor Springs permits and run every detail of the project.

Bathroom Renovations and Design
Harbor Springs bathroom projects are often the most personal renovations we do. A primary suite bathroom in Wequetonsing or on Lower Shore Road isn't a utilitarian space, it's a destination. Heated floors, a freestanding soaking tub, a custom tile steam shower, and a vanity designed to the inch. That's the Harbor Springs standard, and it's what we deliver.
We do bathroom remodeling for Harbor Springs homeowners from full primary suite transformations to guest bathroom rebuilds that match the same level of finish. Our team manages every phase of the project and builds to City of Harbor Springs inspection standards from day one.

Four-season rooms and luxury sunroom construction
Harbor Springs is genuinely a four-season destination now. Ski season at Nub's Nob and Boyne Highlands, fall color in the Tunnel of Trees, and spring sailing at the yacht club all create demand for indoor-outdoor living spaces that work beyond July and August. A sunroom built for real Northern Michigan conditions extends your season in every direction.
We specialize in four-season rooms with full insulation, proper HVAC, and engineered footings that handle Michigan's 42-inch frost line. We also build screen rooms for summer evenings on the bay. City of Harbor Springs permits, association reviews if applicable, and full construction are all handled by our team.

Home additions and architectural expansions
Harbor Springs is not a place where homeowners want to move away from. The community, the yacht club, the proximity to Nub's Nob, the small-town character that somehow coexists with world-class amenities, these are things worth staying for. When you've outgrown your current space, an addition designed to match your home's existing architecture is almost always the better answer.
We manage design, City of Harbor Springs permitting, and association review coordination if your property requires it, along with full construction under one contract. Every home addition is built to meet the architectural standard of the Harbor Springs community.
