"My company has had the honor to work with Brandon and his crew for the last 2 years. They first came out to repair another contractor's mistakes and soon became the only contractor we would work with. Lakeshore has remodeled 2 of my Adult Foster Care homes. Not only does the team do quality work, but before coming into my homes, Brandon asked questions about each of our residents. In turn, his crew would have topics of conversations to hold with each person. This seems small to some people but it is enormous for the catastrophically injured people we care for.

Brandon's team has gutted and remodeled 4 bathrooms, making them truly handicap accessible, 2 kitchens, painted all the resident's bedrooms, and replaced all the flooring in our office, to name a few projects. Brandon also completes an annual inspection; during these inspections, Brandon helps identify potential safety issues that we will address in the very near future.

Our company is thankful for the quality, beautiful work, and compassion Brandon's team puts into each job."

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of group home inspection services in Michigan varies depending on factors such as the size of the property and the complexity of required modifications. Typically, pricing is determined after an initial consultation where we assess the scope of the project.

Our goal is to offer a detailed, transparent estimate so you can make informed decisions about home accessibility solutions while staying within budget.

In our experience, most homes should be inspected for accessibility at least once every 1-2 years, or whenever significant changes are made to the property. Regular inspections help confirm the home continuously meets evolving safety standards, accommodates any new residents’ needs, and stays compliant with local accessibility codes.

Wheelchair ramp inspections make sure ramps are safe, functional, and easy for residents to use. We check for proper angles, solid construction, and surfaces that offer traction, so no one has to worry about slips or instability.

Through these evaluations, we catch potential issues early, preventing accidents and confirming that each ramp supports safe, barrier-free living.

Absolutely. Our inspections not only identify hidden safety concerns but also make sure the home is built to handle the needs of its residents. Our group home modification services can eliminate many of the hazards that could lead to accidents.

This proactive approach creates an accessible home design that's safer for residents and less risky for owners, reducing the chance of costly legal or insurance complications down the line.
