"We are very happy with Mickelson Construction and will use them for anything that we can't do ourselves. The family run business is one of the best I have encountered! Professional, honest, timely, all while providing high quality work. We have used them for a second time after our fire in September of 2018 and the work was done well!"

"We hired Greg to build a new construction house for us. It has been a complete nightmare. He had given us four different close dates starting back in June and it is now October and he is still not completed. He has no financial backing and cannot complete jobs on time. We had to back out of the deal because he can?t complete the house. Now we have to take him to court to get our appliance and EMD money back because he refuses to pay us. His realtor is just as bad. They are the clown show of Scottville. Stay away from Greg and Jamie. They are a nightmare. "

FAQs for garage building service projects in Pentwater, MI

A well‑constructed, properly permitted detached garage adds between $12,000 and $36,000 to a home’s resale value. Buyers appreciate the secure parking, extra storage, and flexible workspace, so appraisers often bump the property’s value accordingly. The exact return depends on the garage’s size, finishes, and how well it matches the main house, but most homeowners see a strong ROI when the build meets local codes and passes inspection.

Yes—once it meets local building codes and you secure the proper permits, a detached garage can be converted into living space. Finishing the interior, adding climate control, and ensuring safe egress effectively increase your usable square footage, though it may not always count toward the official listing. Skipping permits can trigger fines and even force you to undo the work, so always clear plans with your city first.

Most homeowners policies cover a detached garage under the “other structures” provision, but coverage limits vary. Review your declarations page and ask your agent how much protection you have for separate structures. If the limit is lower than the garage’s replacement cost, you can raise it for a modest premium. Confirming the details now prevents headaches if you ever need to file a claim.
