Emmet County, Northern Michigan
Northern Michigan homes, kept ready for whatever the season throws at them.
Remodels, repairs & maintenance, cleaning, yard work & snow removal, and property management across Emmet, Cheboygan and Charlevoix Counties — one crew, start to finish. Year-round residences and short-term rentals both, no subcontractor shuffle.
Locally owned & operated
One crew, one point of contact
Free estimates, itemized pricing
Residential & short-term rental ready
What we do
One call covers the whole punch list.
From a patched wall before guests arrive to a full bathroom remodel, F&G handles the work most homeowners end up calling three different people for.
Remodels
Kitchen and bath updates, small additions, rental-ready refreshes.
Repairs & Maintenance
Drywall and paint, roofing, plumbing, and electrical — one crew instead of four calls.
Cleaning
Scheduled or one-time — after construction, a move, or between rental guests.
Yard Work & Snow Removal
Mowing and landscaping in the warm months, driveway and walkway snow removal in winter.
Property Management
Ongoing upkeep for short-term rentals — scheduled care, turnovers, and repairs.
Emergency Repairs
Burst pipes, storm damage, no heat, a door that won’t lock — urgent calls taken evenings and weekends, with occupied rentals first in line.
Emergency service
Something can’t wait until Monday?
Burst or frozen pipes, no heat in January, storm damage, a rental that won’t lock. Call and it gets worked in the same day when it can be — evenings and weekends included — and you get Scott on the phone, not a dispatcher.
Built for four real seasons
Northern Michigan doesn't give a house much slack.
Whether it's your own home or a rental turning over guests every weekend, the calendar drives the work list.
Fall
Gutter clearing, exterior touch-ups, and roof checks before the first heavy snow.
Winter
Ice-dam prevention, storm-damage repair, and keeping vacant properties checked on.
Spring
Freeze-thaw repairs, paint refreshes, and getting rentals turned around for the season.
Summer
Fast guest-to-guest turnovers, yard care, and the projects that had to wait for good weather.

Why ice dams happen — and how to stop one before it starts
An ice dam is not a gutter problem or a snow problem. It is a heat problem, and most of the fix happens inside the house.
Read itThree signs your roof won't make it through another winter
Granules in the gutters, curling shingles, and daylight through the decking — and what each one costs you to ignore.

“After a heavy storm I was completely stuck in my driveway and needed to get out. I called F & G and they came over right away, even though it was basically an emergency call with no notice. … When you’re snowed in, showing up when someone actually needs you means a lot.”Read all reviews
