Roof replacement
Community Construction did an amazing job on our roof replacement. Kit was great to work with on ideas, and Andrew was a project manager who communicated very well. This job was completed in 1 day. We will have them do our siding project as well once we are ready.

Plan the work before scheduling the crew
Define the project
Share photos, priorities, property location and preferred timing so we can discuss the work you need.
Review the scope
Discuss site conditions, selections, approvals and the responsibilities included in the proposal.
Agree on communication
Establish your project contact, decisions needed, access arrangements and expected milestones.
Planning a remodel in the Traverse City area
The property’s jurisdiction matters. A Traverse City mailing address alone does not identify every approval needed for a project. Use these official resources to start the planning conversation.
Grand Traverse County and city properties
Grand Traverse County’s permit process explains its review steps and directs Garfield Township building-permit applicants to the township. Land-use requirements depend on the project and municipality.
For a property inside the city, consult Traverse City Planning and Zoning about applicable site and zoning requirements.
Leelanau and older homes
For Leelanau County properties, start with Leelanau County Building Safety and the local municipality’s zoning office.
If an older home is in a designated historic district, ask about review before changing exterior features. The city’s planning FAQs identify its historic districts.
Access, occupancy and seasonal scheduling
Discuss delivery access, parking, material storage and whether the home will be occupied during construction. Exterior work needs a schedule that considers weather and the selected products’ installation requirements. For a waterfront property or an addition, identify site constraints before finalizing the design.
What affects remodeling cost in Traverse City?
A useful estimate starts with a defined scope and the condition of your property. A bathroom fixture update and a renovation that moves plumbing involve different work, even if the finished rooms look similar.
Kitchens and bathrooms
- Room size, layout changes and plumbing or electrical work.
- Cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, flooring and finish selections.
- Repairs or updates identified during inspection and demolition.
Exteriors and additions
- Area, height, access and staging needs.
- Removal, disposal, underlying repairs and structural connections.
- Product choices, trim details, design work and required approvals.
Consider maintenance, comfort and how long you expect to use the home alongside resale goals. Ask for an estimate based on your priorities; a general price range or resale percentage cannot establish the outcome for your property.
Discuss your project and budgetCompare remodeling proposals using the same scope
Before choosing a contractor, check what each proposal actually includes:
- Business qualifications: verify the appropriate license, insurance and any manufacturer credentials claimed for your work.
- Materials: compare product lines, quantities, preparation and installation details.
- Work included: identify removal, disposal, repairs, permits and inspections, including who handles each responsibility.
- Price and changes: review allowances, payment milestones and the written change-order process.
- Schedule and warranty: identify your project contact, expected milestones, workmanship coverage and product-warranty terms.

Read the testimonial excerpt
Actually, I hurt myself 16 months ago on a construction project right here and have been unable to finish it up myself. And I called Community and they came out to give me an estimate, and the people at Community decided to go ahead and do this for me—from a company that didn't have to help me out at all. So when you need something done, and you want true, honest people that are local, call Community.

Questions about remodeling in Traverse City
Do you serve Traverse City from Lansing?
Yes. Community Construction is based in Lansing and serves Traverse City and Northern Michigan. Send your property location and project scope so we can confirm coverage, site visits and scheduling. Our headquarters is at 2720 Alpha Access St, Lansing, MI 48910.
What remodeling services can I request in Traverse City?
We offer kitchen and bathroom remodeling, siding installation, roof replacement, deck building, replacement windows, home additions and new residential construction. Explore the service pages above for the type of work you are planning.
How much does a Traverse City bathroom remodel cost?
The price depends on the room, layout changes, fixtures, finishes and existing conditions. Keeping plumbing in place and replacing it in a new location involve different scopes. Bring photos, a list of priorities and a budget range so we can discuss an estimate for your home.
Which department handles permits for my project?
Start with the property’s actual jurisdiction and the work proposed. Grand Traverse County directs Garfield Township building-permit applicants to the township; other local land-use and trade approvals may also apply. Properties in Leelanau County and the City of Traverse City have their own relevant contacts. Use the official planning resources and establish permit responsibilities before work begins.
Can I plan a renovation for a seasonal home?
Yes. Tell us when the property is occupied, how access will be arranged and whether someone can make decisions while you are away. Discuss communication, material deliveries, utilities and project milestones before agreeing on a schedule.
Can roofing, siding and window replacement be coordinated?
We can discuss these improvements together. A combined scope helps identify connections between the roof, walls and window openings, and allows removal, installation and finishing work to be sequenced around the property.
How long will remodeling take in Northern Michigan?
Timing depends on the work, material availability, approvals, inspections and site conditions. Exterior work also needs suitable weather and installation conditions. Request a start window and milestones specific to your project; a customer’s one-day roofing experience is not a schedule for every roof.
Where can I see a completed Traverse City project?
