Residential
Our residential business is primarily in new home design and construction as well as large additions and remodeling. We cater to small, medium, and large homeowners and do exclusively custom building. Our customers range from small starter homes to large, highly detailed, top end homes. We pride ourselves in customer service and timely project completion. We also have computer aided design capability and produce our own complete plans for construction. With close customer contact and input we will design and construct the exact home our customers desire. We will also work with your architect or your plans to develop the best possible combination of quality products and quality workmanship for your project.

If you want logs or conventional we will do it. All types of exteriors including wood, vinyl, cement board or EIFS are no problem.

Block or insulated concrete form foundations and walls are available.

From rough-ins to turnkey construction we are willing to work with you to accomplish your goals.

Commercial
Our commercial construction includes new structures, additions, and remodeling. We do conventional as well as pre-engineered buildings. Projects include restaurants, bars, retail establishments, convenience stores, churches, motels, apartment buildings, offices, and any other type of light commercial work. We can work from your plans or produce our own plans in house. Wood, masonry, or steel doesn't' matter. We can suggest the most cost-effective method to accomplish your goals. With the power of Butler Manufacturing, the largest and best-known steel building manufacturer in the country, we can design and build any type of pre-engineered structure you can imagine. From new manufacturing facilities to grocery store additions Butler has the products and design capability to produce whatever your company may need.

Pre-Engineered Buildings
As a Butler Builder we can handle any type of steel building construction you can imagine. Butler Manufacturing is the largest and oldest pre-engineered steel building manufacturer in the world. From the "basic box" to the most intricate facades Butler has the capability to produce it and Martineau & Morris Contracting has the expertise to build it. By working with Butler Manufacturing and local architects we can design, engineer, and build whatever you need. From manufacturing facilities to churches and retail space we have done it.

By using pre-engineered buildings the time and cost to design and build a project can be greatly reduced. Conventional construction involves the hiring of an architect/engineer to design the project. Sometimes these people are good at estimating costs and most of the time they are not so good. By using a design build team and pre-engineered structure the cost estimating is much better and the time involved from design to construction can be greatly reduced with far fewer "surprises".

Pre-Engineered Buildings
We only deal with Butler Buildings because they have the best products and the best engineering in the industry. We want to make sure the job is done right. Many pre-engineered building manufacturers are more concerned with the price than the quality of the products and the quality of the engineering. The Copper Country requires very unique engineering compared to most other areas of the country. When you have the potential for 300-400 inches of snow per year you have to make sure that your building is properly designed to handle these kinds of loads. Not everybody thinks that this is an issue. We have rebuilt many buildings that have collapsed under the snow over the years. Both Martineau & Morris Contracting and Butler care.

Spray on Fireproofing
As a premier fireproofing contractor in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Wisconsin we are primarily concerned with doing the job right. Passive fire protection is a critical part of the life safety requirements for structural steel frame buildings. When the sprinklers fail it is the last line of protection for the building structure and its occupants. There is no room for cutting corners or "just get it done" attitudes when lives are on the line. Do it right or don't do it at all.

We have the experience and the expertise to provide the best solutions for your project.

Property Development
You want lakeshore property? You've come to the right place. We are currently developing "
EAGLE POINT PRESERVE". This is a 32-lot development on Torch Lake in Tamarac, Michigan.

Torch Lake is a deep-water inland lake with boat access to the Portage Waterway and Lake Superior. It is located between the cities of Hancock and Lake Linden, Michigan on highway M-26. Torch Lake offers outstanding walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, and panfishing. State record class fish are available and master angler class fish are common. The championship In Fisherman PWT (Professional Walleye Trail) tournament will be held again this year September 16-18 on Portage & Torch Lakes. Check it out on the Outdoor Channel and in In Fisherman Magazine.

Property Development
EAGLE POINT PRESERVE will include all city services including water, sewer, natural gas, underground electric and county owned paved road access to all lots. All lots include at least 200' of lakeshore with some substantially larger. Most lots are primarily suited to residential single family home construction and some would be suited to lakeshore commercial development such as marina, motel, or condominiums. We will build whatever you desire with the exception of mobile homes or double wides. These will not be allowed.

Lots in EAGLE POINT PRESERVE are extremely flat and very easy to build on without the need for large amounts of site development. The shoreline drops off quite quickly on most lots so that long docks are not required to tie up your boat. Sailboat mooring is not a problem.
