About Us
The Gateway is built by Moyle Construction, a Houghton-area design-build company that has been building in the Keweenaw for 50 years. We know what a Copper Country winter does to a building, from heavy snow loads to freeze-and-thaw cycles and lake-effect weather, and we design and build for it from the foundation up.
We also build hotels and corporate offices, where quiet isn’t optional. That experience shapes how we approach floors, walls and shared spaces, so your home feels like your own.
What 50 Years in the Keweenaw Teaches You
Built for the Keweenaw
Local experience with the snow, cold and weather this region delivers every year. We’ve seen what works here, and what doesn’t, across five decades of winters.
Built for quiet
Sound control learned in hotels and corporate offices, applied to your home. Where a hotel can’t let a neighbor’s noise through the wall, neither can we.
Built by your neighbors
A local team that stands behind the work, long after move-in. We live here, and we’ll see you at the grocery store.
How we build for winter
The foundation starts with waterproofing, a drainage mat and rigid foam insulation on the outside walls, plus drain tile and stone at the base and a water stop built into the wall to keep moisture out. Above grade, the wood-framed walls get commercial house wrap, rigid foam over the sheathing and an insulated cavity. In the garage, interior catch basins handle the snowmelt that comes off your vehicle.
How we build for quiet
Shared walls and ceilings use sound insulation, resilient sound channel and double-layer drywall. Floors get a 1″ gypcrete pour over a 1/8″sound mat. Together, the assembly is designed to reach an STC rating of 63, a level of sound isolation well above typical code minimums. It’s the same approach we use in our hotels.
One team, from design to keys
As a design-build company, Moyle Construction handles design and construction together. That means fewer handoffs, clearer communication and one accountable team for your home. It also means your build-out choices connect directly to the people doing the work, with finishes available through our sister company, Houghton Building Supply, and its Kitchen & Bath showroom.
