  • Access inside and outside the home
  • Finished basements or utilities that must be moved

Before you hire in Howell

Pre-war construction

16% of homes predate 1940. Expect plaster walls, balloon framing and possible asbestos in old pipe wrap or floor tile; test before demolition with a licensed asbestos contractor.

Mid-century and newer systems

Most homes here date from 1979 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.

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

Most structural foundation repairs need a building permit from the local building department. Ordinary repairs are exempt only when they do not alter structural parts.
Look for a contractor with a Michigan Residential Builder license and foundation experience, and check it on the LARA lookup. For large jobs, have a structural engineer set or review the scope so every bid covers the same work.
