Livonia
Maintenance, repairs, and renovation for Livonia homes, from Old Rosedale Gardens to Livonia Estates.
Working in Livonia
Livonia grew mostly after the war. About 70% of its homes were built between 1950 and 1980, and half were built by 1964. Most of the city is single-family neighborhoods, such as Rosedale Gardens, Burton Hollow, and Coventry Gardens, and close to nine in ten homes are owner occupied. Many of these houses are now more than 40 years old, which is when the Consumer Product Safety Commission suggests having the electrical system inspected. If you are planning a kitchen, a basement, or a larger update, we look at the existing wiring and past changes first so the plan fits the house you actually have. Old Rosedale Gardens is a historic district, so exterior changes there can need extra review. Building, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical permits go through the city's Inspection Department. If you rent out a home, Livonia requires a rental license that is renewed each year, along with inspections. The city also publishes clear steps for dealing with a sewer backup, which are worth reading before you finish or repair a basement.
