There is no doubt that Leelanau County Contractors had a challenging start to 2020 with the Covid-19 lock down restrictions that were put in place. Once construction started to open up many homeowners were also hesitant to allow contractors in their occupied homes to complete remodels. Although the number of permits dropped to 457 and the value of the permits dropped to a total of $44.72 million the contractors that we have spoken to recently are now as busy as ever! We expect 2021 to bring a return of the construction numbers back to 2017-2019 figures after a very unusual 2020.
