New Construction
We build new homes, detached garages and outbuildings across the Great Lakes Bay Region. Footings go in below Michigan's 42 inch frost depth, and we handle the permit and the inspections.
Learn More A general contractor runs the whole project so you are not managing it yourself. We handle the estimate and the scope, pull the permits, book the trades and keep the work moving. Contracting Pros is based in Bay City and works on homes and commercial buildings across the Great Lakes Bay Region. You deal with one company instead of five.
Some projects need one trade. Others need someone to own the order of work and the handoffs in between. We also work as the demolition contractor in Bay City, so a teardown and the rebuild stay under one contract. Estimates are free, on residential and commercial work alike.

The job starts before anyone picks up a tool. We meet you at the property, write the scope down and price it. The estimate is free. The permit, the trades and the schedule all get built on that scope.
Then comes the paperwork. Bay City typically wants the permit application reviewed and approved before work begins. The approved permit then gets posted where inspectors can see it. We file the application, answer plan review questions and book the inspections.
After that it is sequence. The rough inspection typically comes after framing and the rough electrical, plumbing and mechanical, and before insulation. Get that order wrong and finished walls come back open. We keep the trades in line, and the framing and drywall is work we do ourselves.
There is no single permit office for the region. Bay City runs its own building department. It issues building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing permits, plus demolition, sign, floodplain and soil erosion permits. Townships like Bangor and Monitor have their own building officials, and some smaller ones contract it out.
The rest of the region works the same way. Midland's building department covers only what sits inside the city limits. Outside them, the Midland County Code Authority handles building issues. Knowing which office your address falls under is part of the job.
Two state rules touch most projects here. Michigan's dig law typically calls for a MISS DIG 811 notice at least three business days before we break ground. A soil erosion permit is typically required for an earth change of an acre or more. The same goes for work within 500 feet of a lake or stream, and we handle those filings.
Not every project needs a general contractor. A new deck or fence or a drywall patch: hire the trade and get it done. A GC pays off once the work crosses trades or needs a permit.
Room additions, second-story work, whole-home renovation, a rebuild after a teardown: each has an order to it. Every trade waits on the one before it. One contract keeps that sequence with one company, and one person answers for it.
We are licensed and insured, and we take residential and commercial work. Michigan licenses residential construction at the state level, and the electrical, plumbing and mechanical trades carry their own separate licenses. Part of running a job is putting the right licensed trade on the right piece of it.

Tell us what needs to come down and where the property sits. Call or text (501) 520-1783 and we will set a time to look.
We look at the structure, the access and what sits around it. Then you get a free estimate for the demolition.
Utilities get shut off and capped, and a MISS DIG 811 dig notice typically goes in. We pull the demolition permit and the historic district approval where Bay City calls for one. An asbestos survey and state notification get ordered when the rules cover the building.
The structure comes down with our equipment, in pieces where the site is tight. Debris gets loaded out as the work goes.
The hole gets filled, compacted and topped with soil and seed. Then we go over the finished site with you before we leave.
