Before you hire in Shelby Township

Mid-century and newer systems

Most homes here date from 1989 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 Shelby Township building department before work starts.

Land Clearing in Shelby Township: FAQ

A machine with a mulching head grinds brush and small trees into chips that stay on the ground. It is fast and limits soil disturbance, but leaves stumps below grade.
Often, if you disturb one acre or more, work near water, or your community has a tree ordinance. Check with the county or city first.
Open burning rules vary by community and many urban areas do not allow it. Ask your local fire department or city before planning to burn.
