It will also feature the exceptional skill and services of advertising partners highlighted here.

Guided by a personable team of Cedia-certified technicians, customers can discover which products are best for them hands-on in the Grand Haven-based showroom’s real-home environments, wired for test-drives (realcoolstore. com).

    Family-owned since 1963, DeGraaf Interiors, Inc.offers fine flooring brands and outstanding values as one of West Michigan’s largest retailers. Through an extensive product collection featured in each of the company’s three showrooms (Grand Rapids, Hudsonville and Cascade), customers can find their style to fit any budget and worry-free service from start to finish, including a lifetime installation warranty (degraafinteriors.com).

    Lake Stories Salmon Every home built by Mike Schaap Builders Inc.has its own signature, a testament to each client being in the driver’s seat from design to completion. While Mike’s attentiveness, ready accessibility and presence on the job site in all phases is held in high regard, conscious efforts to improve techniques, stay within budget, deliver on time, and exceed buyers’ expectations are cornerstones of his company (mikeschaapbuilders.com).
