Frankfort Contractor

Frankfort is one of the more architecturally varied communities in Benzie County. The older neighborhoods near the port and the lighthouse district have significant Victorian-era housing stock — two-story homes with detailed trim work, covered porches, and aging siding and windows that need skilled hands. Closer to Crystal Lake and along the bluff properties, you find a mix of seasonal cottages that owners are converting to year-round residences and newer construction on premium lots.

Gerhard & Sons works directly with Frankfort homeowners on the full range of residential construction — foundations, roofing, siding, windows, doors, decks, and finish carpentry. Lake-adjacent properties here require attention to moisture, wind exposure, and in some cases historic character, and we bring that awareness to every job. Whether you're updating an older home on Main Street or building out a lakeside cottage for four-season use, we handle it from the ground up.
