Empire Contractor

Empire is a small village on Lake Michigan with the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore park headquarters at its edge. The surrounding area carries significant vacation property value, homes close to the park and the lake attract buyers who invest heavily in their properties. The seasonal population drives most of the renovation and new-work demand, though a year-round residential core keeps construction needs steady outside of summer. Properties sit in a landscape that gets full Lake Michigan weather, which puts a premium on roofing, siding, and exterior work that performs under difficult conditions.

Gerhard & Sons has worked through this area and understands what the mix of seasonal and year-round ownership looks like in practice. We can work with out-of-state owners who need a contractor they can trust to assess and execute without them on-site, and we're equally comfortable with the full-time resident who wants to be involved in every decision. Straight talk and solid work, that's what we bring to Empire.
