Before you hire in Farmington Hills

Mid-century and newer systems

Most homes here date from 1978 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 Farmington Hills building department before work starts.

Piers can sometimes lift a settled area partway. The contractor should explain the expected result and risks to finishes.
Piering is structural work and usually requires a building permit. Check with your local building department.
