Before you hire in Commerce

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 Commerce building department before work starts.

Yard Grading in Commerce: FAQ

It depends on the area, how much soil moves, fill and topsoil, equipment access, what hardscape or beds must be restored, and the lawn restoration method.
Small regrades on your own lot often do not, but work that changes drainage onto neighbors or the right-of-way may. Confirm with BSEED or your local building department.
The ground should fall away from the foundation on all sides. Ask your contractor to show the planned slope and where water will end up.
