Canton is one of the largest residential markets in Wayne County and most of its housing stock was built between 1990 and today. Like Novi, Canton's inspection focus is heavily on builder-quality issues — insulation, flashing, HVAC sizing, and the kind of fast-paced construction defects that show up across any large modern subdivision.
Most of Canton's housing was built between 1990 and today by regional and national builders — Pulte, Toll Brothers, Robertson Brothers, M/I Homes, and others. The inspection focus on these homes is heavily on builder-quality issues: roof flashing details done quickly, attic insulation depth at or below code minimum, undersized HVAC for finished basements, plumbing rough-in shortcuts that surface as leaks years later, and grading that wasn't properly maintained after landscaping and deck additions.
Canton also has a smaller inventory of pre-1990 homes (particularly in the older central Canton corridor and along Cherry Hill Road) and original farmhouse properties on larger acreage. These older properties often have private wells, septic systems, or outbuildings that need their own inspection attention. We tailor every inspection to the actual age and configuration of the home in front of us.
Yes — new construction is a major part of what we do in Canton. We routinely inspect Pulte, Toll Brothers, Robertson, and M/I Homes properties. Always book before final walkthrough so you have leverage with the builder.
Strongly yes. Most builder warranties cover 1 year of workmanship and materials, and we routinely find issues during the 11-month inspection that the builder is required to fix at no cost. Skipping the 11-month inspection can leave thousands of dollars of fixable defects on your dime.
About 15–25 minutes depending on traffic. We schedule Canton inspections in dedicated daily blocks for efficient routing.
