Energy Saving Techniques

We have integrated advanced energy-saving techniques into three of our homes, ensuring your home remains high-performing, sustainable, and cost-efficient without compromising on quality or structural integrity.

House Raising

This house on Spring Lake had a “Michigan Cellar” We raised it and put a full 8’ basement under it and remodeled most of the house.

Thankfully no one was hurt. The insurance company paid to have it the torn down, paid for temporary housing and the owners ended up with a brand new home.

Insurance Restoration and Re-Building

When homes experience damage from storms, flooding, or other unexpected events, restoration work requires both structural expertise and careful coordination. Homes by Gary Katt Inc. provides insurance restoration services that help homeowners rebuild and repair their properties with quality craftsmanship.

Structural Transformations

Adding a second story to an older home isn’t just a remodel—it’s a complete structural transformation. On this project, we carefully evaluated the existing framing and foundation, then engineered a plan to strengthen and rework the structure so it could safely support an entirely new level. The result: more space, better flow, and a home that feels brand-new while still honoring the character of the original build.
