Macomb County is one of our busiest service areas. Whether you're buying in a 1960s Warren ranch, a 1990s Sterling Heights colonial, or a brand-new Macomb Township subdivision, the inspection issues we look for are completely different — and we know what to find in each.
Macomb County's housing stock is bookended by two big eras: post-WWII tract homes built between 1950 and 1975 (Warren, Roseville, St. Clair Shores, Eastpointe), and the explosion of new subdivision construction from 1990 to today (Sterling Heights, Shelby Township, Macomb Township, Chesterfield).
In the older eastern Macomb communities, the inspection issues are predictable: original cast-iron drain stacks reaching the end of their life, asbestos-wrapped basement HVAC ducting, single-pane aluminum-frame windows, and original 1950s electrical panels that are no longer code-compliant.
On the newer western end of the county, the issues we find most often are construction-quality issues: roof flashing details done wrong, attic insulation depth below code, sump pump discharge running back toward the foundation, and HVAC systems undersized for finished basements that the original builder didn't account for.
Yes — Sterling Heights, Macomb Township, Shelby Township, and Chesterfield are core service areas. We're typically there within 24 hours of booking.
Absolutely. Older Macomb homes need an inspector who actually knows what to look for in mid-century construction — cast iron drain failure, asbestos materials, original electrical service. That's our specialty.
Yes, we inspect throughout eastern Macomb including Harrison Township, Mount Clemens, and the lake communities along Lake St. Clair. Plan on a 45–55 minute drive from our Farmington Hills office.
