Learn moreHomer, Michigan · Calhoun County
Homer is a small village in the southeast corner of Calhoun County, sitting on the Kalamazoo River where M-60 and M-99 cross. It has a compact and genuinely handsome centre, with a village historic district of well over a hundred contributing buildings, mostly two-storey brick commercial blocks around the public square and older frame houses behind them. Outside the village it is farm country in every direction. It is a longer run from Battle Creek than most of what we do, so Homer jobs are scheduled rather than same-day, and we will usually talk through container size carefully before we set out.

Village housing is mostly nineteenth and early twentieth-century frame homes in Greek Revival, Italianate and Queen Anne styles, on lots that are generous by village standards but with narrow driveways and a lot of mature trees. Streets like Hillsdale, Main and Byron are quiet and easy to work in, though tree canopy is the constraint on where we can lift. Outside the village limits you are onto gravel county roads and farm drives, where spring softness and culverts matter more than anything else. The common jobs are roof tear-offs, whole-house clean-outs, porch and deck rebuilds, and farm outbuilding demolition. Barn tear-downs here produce serious volume of old lumber and tin. Because of the distance we recommend sizing up slightly rather than risking a second trip.
The brick storefronts around the square see occasional refit and clearance work, and those buildings usually have to be serviced from the front because there is no rear yard to speak of. Out in the surrounding townships the jobs get bigger and less frequent: machinery sheds emptied after a farm sale, lean-tos and grain storage coming down, and hunting camps and cabins being cleared. Windfall work follows every serious summer storm. On the low ground near the river we also get flood clean-up, which is heavy because everything is soaked through. Household jobs here often accompany a sale or a move, so timing matters as much as size and we fix the collection date in advance.

East on I-94 to Marshall at exit 110, then south on M-99 about thirteen miles into the village, roughly thirty-five minutes in all. Main routes in: M-99 south from Marshall, M-60 through the village, I-94 exit 110 at Marshall.

Give us a couple of days if you can. Homer is roughly thirty-five minutes each way from our Battle Creek yard, so we schedule it into a run rather than dropping in on short notice. If you are flexible on the delivery window, we can usually work you in sooner. Booking the pull-out date at the same time saves a second round of phone calls.
It depends on height more than width. We need clear overhead room to raise the hoist and slide the container off, and a lot of the older Homer streets have heavy canopy. If the drive is too tight we will look at the street verge or a firmer spot near the road. Send a photo before delivery day and we will tell you honestly.
Plan on multiple loads. Barn lumber, tin roofing and fixtures fill a 20 yard box faster than people expect, and old timber is dense. We will stage a container and swap it as you work rather than trying to fit the whole building into one. Keep stone foundation material, concrete and dirt in a separate pile, because those are handled differently.
For a container on your own property, generally not. If it has to go on a village street or in the right-of-way, or if your property sits in the historic district and the work touches the exterior, check with the Village of Homer before you start. Rules differ between the village and the surrounding township, so confirm with whichever one you are actually in.
