Sterling Heights
Home maintenance, repairs, and remodeling across Sterling Heights, from Lakeside to the Dodge Park area.
Working in Sterling Heights
Half of the homes in Sterling Heights were built by 1977, and about three in four are owner occupied. The city includes established subdivisions, condominiums, and planned communities, from Carriage Park at Lakeside and Stratford Village North to the areas around Plumbrook, Dodge Park, and the Clinton River. Many homes here are now 40 years or older, the age at which an electrical inspection is recommended, and houses built before 1978 may have lead-based paint. Neither means your home has a problem, but both are worth knowing before a bigger project, and we check the existing wiring and past updates before planning the work. If you are thinking about a basement, the city's online maps show flood areas along with subdivision and utility information, which is a useful first look at your property. The Building Department handles permits and inspections. If you own a single-family home that you do not live in, the city also inspects its exterior, so keeping up with the outside of the house helps.

What does the Sterling Heights exterior inspection program cover?
The city inspects the outside of single-family homes that are not the owner's primary residence. It covers the exterior only, not a full inspection of the inside. Check the city's current requirements for details.
How can I tell whether my Sterling Heights property is in a flood area?
The city's online maps include flood-area layers, along with subdivision, utility, and zoning information. They are a good first look before you plan work that affects drainage or a basement.
Who issues building permits in Sterling Heights?
The city's Building Department handles permits and inspections. Whether you need one depends on your property and the work, so check with them before you start.
