Our "secret" to long-lasting relationships.

There really isn't any big secret to maintaining a great business relationship. It's our customer-focused approach; flexibility to meet any business need; and our dedication to providing quality workmanship that keeps our customers calling - project after project. They are also comforted in the knowledge that every time we return, they see the familiar faces of our dedicated and tenured workforce.

Although our office has been located at the same location in Lincoln Park, Michigan for the past sixty years, our company is currently a licensed contractor in several states, namely, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Delaware and is presently working in the following states that do not require licenses, namely Michigan, West Virginia, Virginia, Indiana, Florida, Oklahoma, Kansas and New York.
