Seasonal Home Maintenance in Detroit: what to expect
Seasonal home maintenance in Detroit prepares a house for hard winters and wet springs. Metro Detroit's freeze-thaw cycles, lake-effect snow bands and spring downpours find every clogged gutter, open joint and unprotected pipe. A twice-a-year visit catches problems while they are still small.
A fall visit typically covers gutter and downspout cleaning, extensions that carry water away from the foundation, exterior caulk touch-ups, weatherstripping, swapping screens for storm panels, shutting off and draining exterior hose bibs, and replacing the furnace filter and smoke and CO alarm batteries. Spring reverses it and adds a check for winter damage, sump pump testing and deck or fence repairs. Homeowners in Troy, Westland and Clinton Township often keep a standing appointment.
For specific tasks, see caulking and sealing. Furnace tune-ups belong with HVAC pros. Browse all Detroit handyman services.

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Routine maintenance is ordinary repair and does not need a building permit in Michigan. Furnace and gas appliance service should be done by a licensed mechanical contractor, and any electrical or plumbing work beyond minor repair needs a licensed trade. On pre-1978 homes, paid scraping of painted surfaces needs EPA RRP certification.
Paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA license. Michigan has no license class called handyman: look for a Residential Builder license or a Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license that lists the trade involved, such as Gutters or Carpentry, and check the number on the LARA lookup.
