MAC Custom Homes is owned by Mike Collings.

The name MAC is an acronym for Michael Alfred Collings (Mike’s full name). Over the years, the company has grown steadily and has earned a solid reputation for high quality construction and excellent customer service. As a result, MAC Custom Homes has been entrusted to build many of the finest residences in Northern Michigan.

Mike grew up in Farmington, Michigan, where he met and married his wife, Robin. The couple moved to Traverse City in 1980, shortly after the birth of their first daughter. Since then, they have lived and raised their three daughters here. Mike, who began his career as a framer, worked for local framing contractors for several years, before starting his own framing company and eventually becoming a general contractor. This led to the founding of MAC Custom Homes in the mid-nineties. 

With more than 25 years experience in the construction industry, both downstate and Northern Michigan, Mike is very involved with every aspect of the home building process. He supervises the framing, siding and interior trim crews personally in order to control the quality and timing in each project. In 2006, he received the Green Build Grand Traverse certification. MAC Custom Homes is built on a foundation of trust and hard work, along with excellent craftsmanship.

Max's Serviceis a 3rd Generation Major Appliance Dealer and service center located in Traverse City, Michigan. We specialize in GE, Monogram, Frigidaire, Electrolux, Wolf, Sub Zero, plus most other brands of Major Appliances.

We focus on service so our motto is "It's Service that Counts." 

Max Crandall bought the business in 1945 from M.J. Macintosh. He sold and serviced small and major appliances, Schwinn Bicycles, Goodyear Tires, and many other odds and ends. In the mid to late 1970's Jim Owens, Max's son-in-law, purchased the business from Max and continued with the same idea. He adapted to the times and focused on Major appliances and electronics. In the early 1980’s Jim discontinued the Goodyear tire sales and service department. He expanded his Major appliance sales department. In 1994 a third generation joined the business, Jim’s son, Jeff.

Max’s continues in the same direction now as when Max founded the business in 1945. We take great pride in our appliance service department and competitive prices. The biggest misconception is that Max’s prices are higher. That is not true when you consider the personal service we offer before, during, and after the sale. That is why for over 60 years our motto has been, “It’s Service that Counts."

Engineered Protection Systems, Inc. (EPS)

Protecting West Michigan since 1955.

Engineered Protection Systems, Inc., was founded in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1955.

What began as a modest, local operation with a handful of employees has blossomed into a multi-state company with more than 170 employees, seven satellite offices and thousands of satisfied customers. Over the past decade, EPS has more than doubled in size.

We currently rank among the top 30 largest security providers in the nation. However, we’re not a giant national company out of touch with our customers, nor do we aspire to be one. We offer the stability, experience, skills and technology of a national provider; yet the people who manage EPS are the same local people who own it. We are your neighbors. Our growth is a direct result of our commitment to our customers. In fact, one of our very first alarm customers is still with us today – a 50+ year relationship that stands the test of time because of our commitment to service. You won’t find a local alarm company that can point to a similar track record.

In short, EPS is a highly unusual company competing in an increasingly less personal security industry. We’re clearly preferred by your neighbors and colleagues, and we’d like to become your preference as well. Follow the link to our “eleven reasons” to learn why you should select EPS as your security provider. That’s where you’ll learn how we stack up against the competition, and why you should consider EPS to protect what you value most.

Tree stumps can be an unpleasant eyesore to any lawn or landscape. Because of the difficulty that many homeowners have in removing them, they are often left completely untouched.

Snow Blowing has its advantages to plowing, removal, and other methods for mitigating the amount of snowfall we receive in Northern Michigan.
