Structural Repair in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Structural repair fixes the framing that holds a house up: sagging floors, cracked or notched joists, rotted sill plates and rim joists, failing posts and beams, and roof framing damaged by leaks. In older Metro Detroit homes these problems often trace back to decades of water, past remodels that cut through joists, or undersized original framing.
Signs include bouncy or sloping floors, doors that stick, cracks over doorways, and visible rot in the basement where the house sits on the foundation. Some of these are framing problems and some are foundation problems. If the foundation itself is moving, see foundation repair.
Good structural work starts with finding the cause, often with an engineer, then fixing the cause and the damage. Sistering joists or adding a beam without stopping the water that caused the rot only buys time.
What a proper job includes
- An inspection to find the cause as well as the damage
- Engineering where the building department requires it
- Building permit before structural work
- Temporary shoring while framing is repaired
- Sistering or replacing joists, beams, posts or sills
- New footings under posts where needed
- Moisture fixes so the problem does not return
What drives the price
- Extent of damage and how much framing must be replaced
- Access: open basement, finished ceiling or crawl space
- Engineering requirements
- New posts, beams or footings
- Moisture sources that must be corrected
- Finishes to remove and restore

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Structural repairs require a building permit; LARA notes that routine maintenance does not need a permit but structural changes do. In Detroit, permits and inspections go through BSEED; elsewhere, the city or township building department (or the county or state, where they enforce) issues them. The building official may ask for engineered drawings.
Michigan licenses residential builders and maintenance and alteration contractors through LARA under Article 24 of the Occupational Code. A license is required for paid residential work above a threshold set by state law. Electrical, plumbing and mechanical work is done by separately licensed contractors under their own permits.

- Consider an independent engineer's evaluation for significant problems.
- Confirm the permit and any engineering are included in the quote.
- Verify the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
- Get the repair method and warranty in writing.
