"Homeowner here... I can't properly explain how absolutely thrilled we are with the work that Bronson and the Brawny Builders have done with our lake cottage. Last summer, we started with a plan to simply paint the exterior. But the project slowly unfolded into something much larger. Bronson is not just a general contractor - he became a close and trusted partner throughout the entire project. He is full of creative and thoughtful ideas that enhanced the project at every step. He provided us with constant and detailed communication. His team worked with us to make sure that every detail was right. Here are a couple of examples where Bronson was able to improve the design or save cost: ** We did not want to expand the footprint of the house and add that cost, but we could not figure out how to layout everything we wanted. Bronson cleverly reused an old set of concrete stairs as the foundation for a washer/dryer stack. It was a great solution that worked out fantastic. ** We had wanted to add a half bath for years, but Bronson figured out a way to add a FULL bath. In addition, the new bathroom was connected (jack and jill style) to the main bedroom to create a master suite. It only cost one additional door, but it is now WAY beyond what we imagined. ** We originally wanted to build a deck on the front of the house, but Bronson helped to create a design for a covered porch with vaulted ceilings and a clever lower surround that blended with the lake environment. ** We found a number of structural issues with the old house during demolition. Bronson developed very clever and cost-effective ways to resolve floor, wall and joist issues. ** During each phase of the construction, Bronson developed thoughtful and clever touches. The lofted garage included an old second floor door for ventilation, and Bronson designed a design the new door that retained some of the prior feeling with a new and fresh update. ** We wanted to retain some of the historical feel to the interior, and Bronson cleverly retained some of the original paneling without feeling overwhelming. He framed the wall to make it a focal point without looking old. It is one of my favorite parts of the house. The lake cottage has been in our extended family for almost 50 years. It has been a great retreat for us, but it is now a proper home with personality and functionality to match. This project has literally transformed the house. We would highly recommend Bronson and Brawny Builders for any remodeling project. We were lucky to find them."

"I highly recommend Exotic Pavers! It was such a pleasure to work with Marc and his crew. They are highly professional, knowledgeable, personable, and attentive to our requests, and their work is top-notch. We are thrilled with our patio deck and driveway. Thank you Exotic Pavers! What a pleasure it is to find a company that is A+ in all areas."

"I sought an estimate to replace an awful cartridge filter (for a 22,000-gallon inground pool!!) with a DE filter, which I know is much more efficient, having had an inground pool and DE filter in the past. SMPPros did not install the pool or the cartridge filter. At the time I assumed a DE filter was going to be installed but was not. These terrible cartridge filters work for small Intex pools because you can throw them away but, in my opinion, no way for an inground pool. I received several estimates, and Dale Traister's was very reasonable. I scheduled for the install, chose my DE filter from SMPool Pros (they had it in stock--professional business), and Duane promptly came out and installed it. He also had to replumb because it was quite large and needed to be fit into the existing plumbing. It was quite a job. Duane did an excellent job. We absolutely love this DE filter; the pool has been spotless all summer even in 95-degree heat. We also have a heater so the pool is quite warm. We have not even had to backwash it once because no algae! He will be opening and closing my pool in the future. I am so happy with this filter; do not hesitate to use Southern Michigan Pool Pros. Very professional and conscientious. The previous filter did not keep my pool clean; it was always green and full of chemicals which did not work. The new DE filter cleaned up the pool within a day, and it has been amazing all summer long with only minimal chlorine tabs. Thank you, Duane!!"
