  • Smoke only versus combination smoke and CO alarms

  • The age of the home: the typical Canton home was built around 1991, so original parts may be near the end of their life

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.

Michigan basements

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.
