Beecher Cleaning and Home Services

An ever-changing landscape of foliage occupies The Plant Professionals's facility, which spans three acres and boasts 18-feet-tall ceilings that tower over everything from the budding pastel blossoms of spring to the pine needles and poinsettias of winter. The company specializes in commercial indoor and outdoor landscape installations, but it also keeps a landscape designer on staff, available by appointment.

Other gardening professionals on staff include interior-plant designers who can artistically arrange interior plantscapes for businesses; resident florist Dave Mansfield, who—informed by more than 50 years of experience—crafts floral arrangements for any occasion; and elves disguised as interior decorators, who arrange wreaths and other home accents for the snow-capped holidays. The Plant Professionals even has a grow-pot exchange on site, which allows patrons to recycle their old planters and pick up new ones for free.

Open more than 45 years, the Van Jaarsveld Decorating Center showroom abounds with furniture, framed art, area rugs, and household decorations in a variety of designs and styles. Knowledgeable staffers stand by to suggest products, such as designer wall coverings or premium paints from C2 and Pratt & Lambert, that best complement existing furniture or a household theme. Using customer-specified measurements, they’re also happy to customize window treatments. Customers in need of more involved assistance can look to the shop’s team of designers, who journey to homes to provide interior-decorating consultations or fill in for injured players during family games of backyard softball.

For more than three decades, the specialists at USA Insulation have protected the walls and rooftops of Michiganders’ homes from the capricious elements outside. To make homes more comfortable and energy efficient, the team uses USA Premium Insulation foam—a water-based, eco-friendly product that can be discreetly installed without disturbing the pre-existing brick, stucco, or wood and vinyl siding. After filling out the voids left by cellulose or fiberglass insulation, the foam expands further to provide an extra layer of thermal and acoustic protection that drowns out the neighbor’s garage rock band or inexplicably terrifying laughter.
