Northville's housing market mirrors Plymouth's in many ways — a charming historic downtown core with pre-1940 homes alongside larger newer estate subdivisions throughout Northville Township. We inspect both ends of the market regularly and tailor each inspection to the era and complexity of the specific home.
Historic downtown Northville and the surrounding pre-1950 neighborhoods are dominated by craftsman bungalows, Tudors, Victorians, and early Colonials. Common findings: original cast-iron drain stacks, knob-and-tube wiring remnants, original galvanized or partially-replaced supply piping, undersized original electrical service, original window assemblies, and the typical inspection items for any pre-1950 home. We pay particular attention to conditions hidden behind newer drywall or plaster repair.
Northville Township's newer estate subdivisions (1995 onward, particularly the larger 4-5 bedroom developments) shift the inspection focus to builder-quality items, multi-system mechanical layouts in larger homes, finished-basement modifications, and the grading and drainage challenges of larger lots. We allocate extended on-site time for the larger Northville Township estates so we can fully document each system.
