Before you hire in Canton

Mid-century and newer systems

Most homes here date from 1991 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.

Freeze-thaw cycles and clay soils make foundation cracks and wet basements common across Metro Detroit. Foundation and sump pump checks belong on every spring list.

Permits: check with the Canton building department before work starts.
