Our Completed Projects
Doosan Bobcat
Doosan Bobcat in Johnson Creek, Wisconsin. We completed the design and installation of a massive 200,000-square-foot renovation that included 1,800 sprinkler heads. Utilizing our orbital welder, We were able to prefabricate all of the sprinkler piping for this project.
One of the biggest challenges during the installation was completing the work while the plant remained fully operational. Our team worked around and above active machinery throughout the facility, requiring detailed coordination, strict safety measures, and careful scheduling. Through clear communication and proactive planning with plant management, we successfully completed the project safely and on schedule.
Springhill Suites
Springhill Suites in Milwaukee Wisconsin. We completed the fire protection design and installation of a brand new 4 story, 94 unit hotel. We utilized a plastic pipe system for this building.
Mill Creek Academy
We completed the install of HVAC, plumbing and fire protection on this brand new 42,000 square foot school. Our engineering team utilized 3D drawing software to navigate piping and ductwork through the webbing of wood scissor trusses including the dry sprinkler system.

Justan was great! He explained exactly what he had to do and what it would cost for each step. When he found there was a shut off for that particular faucet he let me know and I didn’t pay to have one installed since it was already there. I appreciate the honesty and integrity! Was impressed with the service and signed up for a service plan with them that will bring in more savings for me. Thank you Justan and Southport Home Services!

James was the technician who listened, investigated, and gave us several options to cure the issue that were dependent upon what would fit in the price range. Most importantly, James spent the time to explain everything in detail and made sure all questions were answered. This is the second time I’ve used SouthPort. They are the right choice!!

I'm on the home maintenance program for plumbing and HVAC. I have been very happy with the service to date. There is always plenty of warning before they arrive and they do their business quickly, professionally, and efficiently. During my last visit they detected two faucet leaks which resulted in two new faucets (covered under lifetime warranty by the manufacturer).

We had a new furnace installed by Southport Home Services and had an excellent experience from start to finish. Our salesman, Adam, was very knowledgeable, personable, and easy to work with. He answered all of our questions and made the process stress-free during an already stressful time.
Our furnace broke, and the very next day the installation team was at our home replacing it. The staff was professional, respectful, and did a fantastic job. Everything was left spotless and looked great when they were done. We even felt completely comfortable leaving for the day while they worked in our home, which says a lot.
We truly appreciate the quick turnaround, quality work, and great customer service. Highly recommend Southport Home Services!
