Serving Leelanau County, MI

Yes. We serve all of Leelanau County, including the Lake Michigan shoreline communities of Glen Arbor, Glen Haven, Leland, and Empire. The drive from our base in the Traverse City area takes us to the western Leelanau shoreline — these are some of our most rewarding project sites, with views that make every build worth the trip. We regularly work in these communities and factor the site visit into our consultation at no charge.

Wooded and sloped lots are common in Leelanau County, and we handle them routinely. Multi-level deck systems, elevated post configurations, helical pier foundations, and stepped platform designs are all part of our standard build toolkit. We assess the site during your free consultation and design the structure to work with your terrain — preserving trees, managing drainage, and meeting the engineering requirements of the relevant township building department.

Leelanau County has multiple townships with separate building departments — Suttons Bay Township, Leland Township, Glen Arbor Township, Centerville Township, and others. The correct jurisdiction depends on your property's location. We handle all permit applications in-house, including identifying the correct township, preparing the drawings, and submitting the full package. We manage the inspection process through final sign-off. You don't need to navigate any of this on your own.

Fenetex screens are particularly well-suited for seasonal properties. The retractable system deploys fully in seconds each spring, and retracts and zips closed in minutes each fall — no dismantling, no storage, no damage risk from winter conditions. For seasonal Leelanau homeowners, the screens typically mean the difference between using an outdoor space from June through September or spending half of those evenings inside. The ROI on a screened porch at a lake cottage is one of the clearest cases we see.
