Troy is one of our highest-volume service areas — we inspect here multiple times a week. The mix of post-war ranches in the Athens / Niles / Beach Road corridors, 1970s and 80s colonial subdivisions, and continuing newer construction throughout the city means every Troy inspection needs an inspector who actually knows the era in front of them.
Troy's housing stock is dominated by post-war suburban development from roughly 1955 through 1985 — Big Beaver-area ranches and tri-levels, the Athens / Niles / Beach Road colonial subdivisions, and the explosion of two-story colonials and four-bedroom suburban homes in the 1970s and 80s built throughout the city. Common findings in this era: original roof systems on borrowed time (some now on their third or fourth roof), aluminum-branch wiring in 1960s panels, original cast-iron drain stacks past their service life, and fuse panels that were partially upgraded to breakers but never re-wired properly.
Newer Troy construction (1990s onward, particularly in the northern and eastern subdivisions) shifts the inspection focus to builder-quality issues. We routinely find undersized HVAC for finished basements that the original builder didn't account for, attic insulation depth at or below code minimum, improper soffit ventilation that drives ice damming and roof sheathing rot, and grading and downspout discharge that's been disturbed by landscaping or pool installation.
Troy is 20–30 minutes from our Farmington Hills office across I-696, and we inspect here multiple times a week. We can typically schedule a Troy inspection within 24 hours of booking, including Saturday morning slots.
Yes — these are some of our most-inspected neighborhoods. We know the original builders, the common construction issues, and the typical condition of homes in each subdivision by era of build.
Yes, we inspect new construction throughout Troy including the recent infill subdivisions and Toll Brothers / Pulte / Robertson developments. Always book before the final walkthrough so the builder has time to address findings while you still have leverage.
