Houghton County sits on the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan's far north, where the county seat of Houghton faces Hancock across the Portage Lake Waterway and Michigan Technological University anchors the area. This is old copper country, full of tall two- and three-story mining-era homes along Lake Superior and Torch Lake. Steep interior stairs are the real obstacle in these houses, and a properly fitted lift keeps a staircase usable through the region's long, hard winters.
The Keweenaw catches some of the heaviest lake-effect snow in the country — well over 200 inches a year — so we build for brutal cold and weatherproof every outdoor install. We cover the whole county from one crew with no travel fees, serving seniors aging in place and veterans from Houghton out to the small mine-location villages.
