About Us

45th Parallel Home Maintenance is a locally owned, Licensed Michigan Residential Builder (No. 262600182) and fully insured home care specialist serving the Grand Traverse region. We bridge the gap between a standard handyman and a full-scale contractor by providing proactive, high-tech property oversight.

Our mission is to eliminate the stress of homeownership by being proactive rather than reactive. Living in Northern Michigan presents unique challenges—from heavy snow loads and ice dams to high summer humidity. We specialize in preparing homes for these seasonal shifts, ensuring crawl spaces stay dry and energy bills stay low.

We are the ideal partner for busy professionals, vacation home owners seeking a trusted local set of eyes, and STR hosts who need professional maintenance to protect their 5-star reviews. Stop managing a dozen different handymen and start partnering with a single, licensed professional.

Our Core Services:

Quarterly Maintenance: Systematic care engineered for Northern Michigan, including gutter clearing, HVAC filter changes, dryer vent cleaning, safety checks, winterization, and more.

High-Tech Inspections: We use Thermal Imaging and moisture detection to find hidden leaks, insulation gaps, and electrical hotspots before they become costly repairs.

Owner’s Representative: Professional project management and contractor oversight for renovations or major repairs.

Seasonal Readiness: Expert winterization and spring opening for vacation homes and Short-Term Rentals (STR).

We handle the ''to-do'' list so you can enjoy Northern Michigan
