Your Trusted Local Construction Company in Saline

Michigan Rose Construction isn’t just serving Saline, we’re headquartered here. Our office sits at 730 Pembroke Dr, a short drive from the Michigan Avenue and Ann Arbor Street intersection that has anchored downtown Saline since the city was platted in 1832. When you call us, you’re calling a crew that knows these streets, this soil, and this frost line, not a contractor dispatching a truck in from Ann Arbor or Detroit. From a new deck off Saline-Milan Road to a kitchen overhaul near the East Michigan Avenue Historic District, we bring the same craftsmanship to every project, backed by a 5.0-star Google rating from 34 real local reviews.

Why Saline Homes Need a Contractor Who Knows the Area

Saline’s residential landscape spans nearly two centuries of construction. The city was platted in 1832 by surveyor Orange Risdon, and homes inside the East Michigan Avenue Historic District and the North Ann Arbor Street Historic District, both added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, date back to the 1800s. These require a contractor who understands original framing, plaster-and-lath walls, and period-appropriate materials, not a crew that only knows new construction.

Saline Area Historical Society

Newer subdivisions like Harwood Farms and Hunters Ridge, along Saline-Milan Road and off Willis Road, sit on Washtenaw County’s clay-heavy soil, which expands and contracts with Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycle and can shift concrete, crack driveways, and undermine patio bases within just a few years.

Michigan’s frost line sits at 42 inches in this region. Any deck footing, patio base, or concrete slab that doesn’t account for frost depth will heave and shift over time. We size and pour all footings correctly from the start, so you’re not paying a second contractor to fix what the first one got wrong.

We also navigate Saline’s permitting process through the City of Saline Building Department and understand HOA restrictions in Saline Area Schools district neighborhoods that can affect fence lines, deck setbacks, and paving materials. When you work with Michigan Rose, you’re working with a team that has handled all of this locally, many times over.

City of Saline Building Department

Michigan Rose Construction Services and areas serve


Experienced Remodeling & Construction Professionals

Michigan Rose Construction has spent years working on residential projects throughout Saline and the surrounding townships, from century-old homes near the Union Block downtown to newer builds in Harwood Farms and Stonecliff. That range matters. A crew that only builds new construction doesn’t always know how to tie a new deck ledger into balloon-framed walls from the 1880s, and a crew that only restores historic homes doesn’t always know current code for a subdivision built on Pittsfield Township clay in the last five years. We do both, regularly, for the same client base.

From outdoor structures to full interior remodels, Michigan Rose Construction manages every stage in-house: initial planning, permitting through the City of Saline, material selection, and finishing work, so nothing falls through the cracks between subcontractors.

Whether you’re upgrading a Saline home for comfort, functionality, or resale value ahead of a move, our team has the experience across both eras of local housing stock to deliver a result that looks right for the house it’s built on.

Our Construction Services in Saline, MI

From outdoor construction to full interior renovations, Michigan Rose Construction offers the complete range of residential remodeling services Saline homeowners need. Every project comes with a free on-site estimate and a 1-year craftsmanship warranty.

Concrete & Asphalt Installation

Many Saline driveways, especially near the Michigan Avenue and Ann Arbor Street downtown corridor, are cracked from decades of frost heaves and tree root pressure. We install new concrete or asphalt driveways with correct slope and drainage designed for Michigan winters.

Kitchen Remodeling

Full kitchen renovations for Saline homes of every age, from century-old kitchens in homes near the Union Block downtown to outdated galley layouts in 1970s ranch homes off Saline-Milan Road. Cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, lighting, and layout changes.

Deck Installation

Custom decks designed and built for Saline’s climate: pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, or a combination. All footings set below Michigan’s 42-inch frost line. We’ve built decks on sloped, wooded lots near the Saline River and flat subdivision backyards in Harwood Farms and Hunters Ridge alike.

Basement Remodeling

Saline homes built before 1980 often have large unfinished basements. We convert them into functional living space: home offices, entertainment rooms, in-law suites, and more. We handle egress windows, framing, drywall, electrical rough-in coordination, and finishing.

Paver Installation

Pavers add curb appeal and lasting value to Saline homes. We install professionally leveled paver systems for driveways, walkways, and patios, including in HOA communities like Harwood Farms where material specifications are required.

Bathroom Remodeling

Tile, vanities, showers, and full bathroom renovations. We regularly work in Saline’s older homes near the historic district where single-bathroom layouts and outdated fixtures are common, and where a well-done remodel adds real resale value.

Patio Installation

Concrete and paver patios built with proper drainage and base compaction for Washtenaw County’s clay soil. A well-built patio near Saline’s urban-rural edge, close to Rolling Hills County Park, needs to handle both standing water and ground movement. We account for both.
