The home owner also decided to replace all of the entry doors in the house with UniShield Doors! We ordered them up yesterday and will be installing them after the new year. We also started hanging drywall in Fruitport Township today at the new Jericho Road Church building. I believe that we have cleared all of the hurdles needed for the fire sprinkler system. We should be able to progress with this one a little more quickly now! We will also have another crew in The City of Muskegon installing a new steel roof later this week.

As soon as all of this is completed we can begin installing the drywall. Meanwhile we have been in Roosevelt Park working on a roofing project. We are adding a slight slope to an existing flat roof for better water run off. This also required replacing five windows on an upper level to accommodate the new slope. From there we will be installing new low slope modified buitimen roofing. Last week we installed another house full of our UniShield windows. These were our top of the line triple pane premium windows. Turned out real nice with new exterior trim.

Tuesday, September 25th

I've been at bit behind on posting to our blog here, I guess that what happens when you're double shifting! We finally finished up the framing job for the recording studio in Grand Haven. It took five weeks in all of framing and it was the most bizzare and complex framing job I've ever been a part of. It does feel good to have it behind us since none of us are big fans of working at night! We also finished up a 40'x60' pole barn in Nunica and we are waiting for 2 special order doors to finish up an office build out for the North Muskegon State Farm office.

Monday, September 10th

We are also doing a smaller build out for the State Farm office in North Muskegon. We are adding two offices in the existing lobby area. We also had an emergency project in Norton Shores. The customer accidentally crashed his van through the back of his garage, so we had to rebuild the foundation and the wall. We also have an egress window going in in North Muskegon. Lots of running this week!

Tuesday, September 4th

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Holiday weekend! It's hard to believe that it is September already. We have had multiple crews out for quite some time now. One crew is working on a couple of bathroom remodels, we have another working on a roof up in Fremont as well. Its a good sized roof with an upper level deck that we had to remove and rebuild to replace the roof. We also have a night crew working in Grand Haven on a complex commercial framing job for a recording studio. Its coming along but there is still a long way to go.

Wednesday August 8th

We took a little break from the 40'x60' pole barn that we started working on in Fruitport Township this week. The lift that we were using has been under repair so we were unable to proceed. In the meantime, we started a roof replacement in North Muskegon. Along with the roof, we replaced all of the aluminum eaves to allow for better ventilation.

We started out by installing a new front entry door and storm door. We got the footings poured today for the roof portion. We had an unexpected issue with another part of this one; we were going to install two new garage windows but found that the entire wall was completely rotted out and had extensive termite damage. O'Malley's Pest control came out and treated the area and we will now be rebuilding the wall.

We should have everything complete sometime early next week if the weather continues to cooperate.

Wednesday, May 9th

We started a new roofing project in Grand Haven last week. The weather wasn't very cooperative at the end of last week and Monday of this week. Since then it has been quite nice and we are making some progress. This one is a very old historical home down town and we we are doing a unique install to provide added insulation. We are building the roof deck up with 1 1/2" insulated foam board with new OSB on top of that which will provide an additional R-15 or so. We did run into a little snag right from the start. There are 5 layers of roofing on it! In 15 years this is only the second time I have ever came across that many. It will add about an extra week on to the job but we have to get it down to the original decking. We will also be installing new windows and an elevated deck on this house.

Wednesday, May 2nd

Monday, April 30th

Today we installed nine new replacement windows in a home on the East end of Muskegon. Two of the openings had to be built small and we installed some new siding on the front.

First we are building the roof up with 1 1/2" foam insulation board and installing new decking over that.

We finished up the water damage repair in Norton Shores today. Since we had to replace some drywall the homeowners had us open up a wall between the their dining room and great room. It really opened it up! After that we tied up some lose ends at another project. Tomorrow we are heading back to a house in N. Muskegon to install three new garage doors. We installed new siding and roofing on this house about 1 1/2 years ago. That should buy us enough time to obtain the permit for a garage at Maranatha.

We finished up the trim work for the kitchen remodel in Norton Shores today! Turned out real sharp. Tomorrow we are staying in Norton Shores to take care of some water damage from ice build up. We will be redoing a section of roofing and siding as well as tearing out a wall and repairing some drywall. I'll have some new photos up soon of the kitchen and the new roof system that we did on Duck Lake Rd.

We will be finished up with the project that we've been working on over on Duck Lake Rd. tomorrow. We could have wrapped it up today but we are waiting for one little vent to arrive, and the weather wasn't the best today. Next we will be heading over to Norton Shore for a roof repair and to fix some water damage.

It was a cold and wet one out there today. Despite getting soaked, we managed to get the majority of the eaves done. We will have those finished up tomorrow. We should also be able to get some of the new siding installed. Hopefully its not so wet tomorrow.

We ended up beating the snow just in time! We finished installing the new shingles at around noon last Thursday. On Friday we got a start on the new aluminum eaves. Tomorrow we will continue on the eaves and get started of installing the new siding of the gable ends. The front gable is going to have some decorative shake siding. By this weeks end this one be just about there.

We almost got the roof shingled today at the Dusk Lake Rd. job. Hopefully the weather will hold off long enough to finish it up tomorrow morning. It will be nice to get that part behind us if it snows like they say it is.

We finished up the last little bit of framing today at the roof truss job on Duck Lake Rd. We also started installing the new shingles and got a pretty good start in doing so. If all goes well tomorrow we should be able to finish before the bad weather hits. From there its installing the siding on the new wall ends and the new aluminum eaves!

Monday January, 9th

How about this weather for January? We have been very fortunate considering the type of project we are working on. Things have been going great at the Duck Lake Rd. job. We worked all weekend due to the favorable weather and have all of the new trusses framed up and just finished all of the new roof sheeting today. The shingles were delivered this afternoon and we will start installing those tomorrow. Hopefully we can beat the snow that supposed to be here Thursday!

Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a great holiday season! We had a change in plans from what was originally expected for the start of 2012. We were supposed to begin a 32'x40' pole barn in Fennville, but that will be delayed for about two weeks. Instead we are starting a project on Duck Lake Rd. in North Muskegon. We will be removing the entire rafter roof system and replacing them with new energy heel trusses. We will be adding a significant amount of insulation and proper ventilation. Once all that is done, new shingles and installing new aluminum eaves. Hopefully the weather cooperates!
