Home Maintenance & Handyman Services in Traverse City, MI

Traverse City sits right on the 45th parallel — and that's no coincidence for our name. From the cherry orchards along East Bay to the vineyards on Old Mission Peninsula, this area is home to some of Northern Michigan's most valuable properties. Whether you own a year-round home in the central neighborhoods, a lakefront cottage on Long Lake, or a vacation property overlooking West Bay, your home faces unique challenges that only a local who understands this climate can properly address.

As a licensed Michigan builder raised in the Traverse City area, I provide seasonal maintenance, preventative assessments with thermal imaging, hands-on repairs, and project consulting — all designed to keep small problems from becoming expensive surprises.

Cottage Care & Seasonal Property Management

Many Traverse City properties sit vacant for months at a time — seasonal cottages on Old Mission, vacation rentals along the bay, and snowbird homes throughout the central neighborhoods. These properties need more than a locked door and a prayer. We provide winterization services including full plumbing drainage, antifreeze treatment, temperature monitoring, and spring de-winterization so your property is ready when you return. Our quarterly maintenance visits catch freeze damage, pest intrusion, and moisture problems before they escalate — and every visit includes a detailed photo report so you know exactly what's happening with your property, even from 500 miles away.
