Southfield
Maintenance, repairs, and remodeling for Southfield homes and rentals, from Beacon Square to The Ravines.
Working in Southfield
Southfield grew quickly after the war: 8,300 single-family homes went up between 1958 and 1967, and half of the city's homes were built by 1969. The city has made preserving its Mid-Century Modern architecture one of its goals. Neighborhoods include Beacon Square, Cranbrook Village, Bonnie Acres, and The Ravines. Southfield is split fairly evenly between owners and renters, so we plan work for both. If you own a mid-century home, updates can often be planned around what makes it distinctive, like its windows, built-ins, or open layout. Homes from this period are now more than 40 years old, which is when an electrical inspection is recommended, and houses built before 1978 may have lead-based paint. Whether either applies depends on your home and its past updates. The Southfield Building Department handles residential and commercial permits. One- and two-family rentals have to be registered and inspected every three years, so landlords can plan repairs around that schedule.
