Trusted Construction and Remodeling Contractor in Hancock, MI
Homes in the Keweenaw work harder than most. They carry hundreds of inches of lake-effect snow each winter, ride out months of freeze-thaw cycles, and shelter families through seasons that keep life indoors from October into May.
Freeze Construction
is a Hancock, MI contractor built around that reality. We handle roofing, siding, painting, remodeling, home additions, and snow plowing for homeowners and businesses across Copper Country, with every project planned for the conditions it has to survive.
Our mission is straightforward: do work that holds up, explain it clearly, and treat every home like it matters, because it does. Many houses in Hancock date back to the mining era, and many newer homes face the same brutal winters. Whether we're replacing a roof on Quincy Hill, remodeling a kitchen near downtown, or clearing a commercial lot after an overnight storm, we focus on what's behind the finish as much as the finish itself. That means inspecting framing before covering it, correcting ventilation instead of ignoring it, and choosing materials that make sense for the Upper Peninsula rather than a catalog.

Construction and Remodeling Services in Hancock, MI
From the roof down to the basement and out to the driveway, Freeze Construction offers a full range of exterior, interior, and seasonal services for residential and commercial properties in Hancock and the surrounding Keweenaw communities.
Roofing Services
Our roofing services include full roof replacement, leak repair, and new installations using architectural shingles or standing seam and exposed fastener metal. Every roof includes extended ice and water shield, proper attic ventilation, and flashing details designed to prevent ice dams and handle heavy snow loads. We also provide storm damage repair and emergency tarping when winter weather opens up a roof.
Siding Installation and Repair
We install and repair vinyl, insulated vinyl, fiber cement, steel, and engineered wood siding for homes and outbuildings. Each siding project includes wall inspection, house wrap, and flashing at windows and doors to keep moisture out of the framing. For older Hancock homes, we match traditional profiles that preserve the home's original character.
Snow Plowing
Freeze Construction provides residential and commercial snow plowing throughout Hancock's long winters. Services include driveway plowing, end-of-driveway berm removal, parking lot clearing, snow relocation, and salting or sanding for ice control. Seasonal contracts and per-push options are available to fit different properties and budgets.
Kitchen Remodeling
Our kitchen remodeling services range from cabinet and countertop updates to full renovations with layout changes and wall removal. We handle plumbing and electrical upgrades, lighting, ventilation, flooring, and backsplash installation. The goal is a kitchen that works better for how you cook, gather, and live.
Bathroom Remodeling
We remodel bathrooms of every size, from powder room refreshes to complete primary bath renovations. Projects can include walk-in showers, tub replacements, tile work, vanities, and ventilation upgrades that control moisture in cold-climate homes. Accessibility features like curbless showers and grab bars are available for aging in place.
Interior Painting
Our interior painting services cover walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and cabinets with careful surface preparation and clean lines. We patch drywall, repair cracks common in older plaster walls, and use paints suited to each room's use. Interior painting is often scheduled through winter, when indoor projects fit best.
Exterior Painting
Exterior painting protects wood siding, trim, and outbuildings from moisture, UV exposure, and harsh Keweenaw weather. We scrape, sand, prime, and repair surfaces before applying high-quality exterior coatings. Proper preparation is what helps a paint job last through years of freeze-thaw cycles.
Home Remodeling
Our home remodeling services cover whole-house renovations, room reconfigurations, flooring, trim, and updates to older homes. We address outdated wiring, plumbing, and framing that often surface during remodeling in historic Hancock houses. Each project is planned to improve how your home functions, not just how it looks.
Basement Remodeling
Basement remodeling turns unfinished or outdated lower levels into family rooms, bedrooms, offices, or guest suites. We address moisture control, insulation, egress requirements, and proper framing before finishes go in. A finished basement adds valuable living space for long winters indoors.
Home Additions
Freeze Construction builds home additions including bedroom and bathroom additions, expanded kitchens, sunrooms, mudrooms, and second-story additions. Each addition is designed to tie into the existing roofline, foundation, and systems of your home. We plan footings, framing, and roofing to meet the snow load demands of the Keweenaw.

Built for Copper Country Conditions
Construction in Hancock isn't the same as construction in lower Michigan. Snow loads, frost depth, wind exposure off Portage Lake, and a short building season all shape how projects need to be planned and scheduled.
We factor those conditions into every estimate, from roof pitch and ice protection on exterior work to insulation, air sealing, and moisture management on interior remodels. Exterior projects like roofing, siding, exterior painting, and additions are typically scheduled from late spring through fall, while kitchen, bathroom, basement, and interior painting projects can move forward year-round.
How Our Process Works
Every project with Freeze Construction starts with a site visit to understand your home, your goals, and any issues hiding beneath the surface. From there, you receive a written estimate that outlines scope, materials, and timeline so you know exactly what to expect. Our crews protect your property during work, keep job sites organized, and complete a final walkthrough with you once the project is finished.
Start Your Project With Freeze Construction
Whether your roof is showing its age, your kitchen no longer fits your family, or you need dependable snow plowing before the first storm, Freeze Construction is ready to help. We serve homeowners and businesses throughout Hancock and the surrounding Keweenaw area with work that's planned carefully and built to last. Tell us about your project, and we'll schedule a time to look at it in person and talk through your options.
