Home Remodeler and General Contractor Petoskey, MI

Q: Do you handle permits with the City of Petoskey?

Yes. We manage every permit application and inspection directly with the city's building department. If your project is in Resort Township instead of the city proper, we handle that permitting process, too.

Q: What types of homes do you work on in Petoskey?

Everything from historic Victorian homes near Bay View and downtown to mid-century residential throughout the established city neighborhoods to newer custom builds in Resort Township. We know the construction realities of all of them.

Q: How does your pricing work?

Fixed-price proposal before anything gets signed. What we quote is what you pay for a standard project. If you want to upgrade materials or change the scope during design, we will talk through the cost before anything moves forward.

Q: Do you offer financing?

Yes. We walk you through financing options during your initial consultation.

Q: What does your Lifetime Guarantee cover?

Our craftsmanship and installation for as long as you own your home. If our work causes a problem, we fix it at no cost to you.

Petoskey has been drawing people north for over 150 years, and for good reason. The bay views, the Gaslight District, Bay View's Victorian character, and four seasons of things to actually do here make it one of the best places to live in Michigan. Custom Built works with Petoskey homeowners ranging from year-round families in the established city neighborhoods to seasonal residents in the Bay View community who want to get more out of their properties. We know the difference between the projects this market demands and what most contractors are set up to deliver. Call us at (231) 244-8423.

Deck Building and Outdoor Living Spaces

Petoskey properties with Little Traverse Bay views are built for outdoor living, and a solid deck build is the foundation of that. The problem is that most wood decks in this area were built for a contractor's convenience, not for what Northern Michigan winters actually do to pressure-treated lumber. Once the freeze-thaw cycles get into the ledger board and the joists start showing soft spots, you're looking at a full replacement, not a repair.

We build composite and cedar decks designed for the Petoskey area, and as the region's only Trex Pro Platinum contractor, we bring exclusive labor warranties to every project. Whether you're building a bay-view deck in the Country Club Hills neighborhood or replacing a structure on a Resort Township property, we manage all City of Petoskey permits and Emmet County engineering. Every composite deck comes with our Lifetime Guarantee.

Kitchen Remodeling and Redesign

Petoskey kitchens span a wide range, from Victorian-era downtown homes that still have their original cramped layouts to newer custom builds in Resort Township with builder-grade finishes that never matched the rest of the house. What they share is that most of them don't work the way the people living in them actually cook and gather. We help Petoskey homeowners fix that from the floor plan up.

Our team handles the full project from design through installation, including the structural work that often comes with opening up older Petoskey homes. Whether you need a full kitchen remodel with luxury quartz and custom cabinetry or a focused update in a newer build off Charlevoix Avenue, we run City of Petoskey permits and take care of every detail.

Bathroom Renovation and Primary Suite Upgrades

Petoskey has a diverse housing stock, and the bathroom remodeling projects we do here reflect that. In the older historic homes near Howard and Sheridan Streets, we're often doing full stud-up rebuilds with updated plumbing and all-new systems. In newer Resort Township homes, it's more often a targeted luxury upgrade to a primary bath that was done to builder-grade standards and never got better. We do bathroom remodeling at both ends of that spectrum.

From walk-in shower installations and freestanding tub surrounds to complete plumbing overhauls, our team manages the whole job. We build to the City of Petoskey inspection standards from day one and deliver bathrooms that work as well as they look.

Four-Season Rooms and Sunroom Additions

Petoskey is a year-round community, and a well-built sunroom reflects that. We're not talking about a glorified screen porch that's comfortable in August. We're talking about a four-season sunroom with real insulation, proper HVAC, and footings engineered for Michigan's 42-inch frost line that you can actually use during a February hockey trip or a quiet October morning with bay views out the windows.

We build sunrooms that work for the full Northern Michigan calendar, handling City of Petoskey permits, engineering, and construction under one contract. The finished room will feel like it was always part of the original floor plan.

Home Additions and Expanding Your Footprint

Petoskey homeowners who've outgrown their current space have a real choice to make: move somewhere bigger and give up the bay views, the Gaslight District, the trails, and everything else that makes living here worth it, or invest in the home they already have. Most of our clients choose to stay. A thoughtfully designed home addition gives you the space you need without giving up the location.

We handle design, City of Petoskey permitting, and construction under one contract. Every addition is built to match your home's existing architecture so the result looks like it was part of the original plan, not something added on later.

Petoskey Neighborhoods and Areas We Serve

We work near landmarks and neighborhoods you know, including:

Building in Petoskey, What You Need to Know

Bay View historic preservation: Bay View is a National Historic Landmark Chautauqua community. Any exterior changes require review by the Bay View Association in addition to city permits. We know how to navigate both processes.
City of Petoskey permitting: The city has its own building department separate from Resort Township and Emmet County. We manage every application and inspection, so your project doesn't stall.
Lake proximity and materials: Properties near Little Traverse Bay deal with moisture and wind exposure that accelerates wear on exterior materials. We choose materials and build details that hold up under real Northern Michigan waterfront conditions.
