Remodeling in New Baltimore?
New Baltimore is a small waterfront city on Anchor Bay at the top of Lake St. Clair — a walkable downtown by the water, older homes near the shoreline, and newer subdivisions filling in around them. The waterfront setting is the through-line: homes near the bay can sit closer to the water table, so basement finishing here depends on real moisture management, drainage, and proper egress, and baths benefit from the ventilation a humid near-water setting calls for. The newer inland homes reward the standard finished-basement and kitchen-and-bath updates. Because Mike renovates for resale, he treats those near-water conditions head-on and quotes a real, written number — insured, and part of the lakeside Macomb communities we serve.

New Baltimore is small — about 4,700 occupied homes — and newer than its old waterfront downtown suggests: the city's median home was built in 1995, and about 84% are owner-occupied. The older houses near the bay are the minority, and they are the ones where drainage and ventilation come first; the newer homes inland are straightforward ground for a finished basement or an updated kitchen.
