Troy
Repairs, upkeep, and remodeling for Troy homes, from Sylvan Glen to the Long Lake area.
Working in Troy
Half of Troy's homes were built by 1977, and the city has a real mix of ranch, Colonial, and tri-level houses. Neighborhoods and areas range from Sylvan Glen and Somerset to the Long Lake area and the Village of Troy. Close to three in four homes are owner occupied. The style of your house shapes a remodel. A tri-level has different stairs, sightlines, and lower levels than a ranch or a Colonial, so we plan around the layout you actually have. Many Troy homes are now 40 years old or more, which is when an electrical inspection is recommended, and homes built before 1978 may have lead-based paint. Neither means your house has a problem, but both are worth checking before larger work. Troy's Building Inspection department handles permits and inspections. The city's property code sets periodic inspections for buildings with three or more units, and Troy has a Historic District Commission for designated properties. The city updated its Master Plan 2040 in May 2024.

Does Troy inspect rental properties?
Troy's property code sets periodic inspections for buildings with three or more units. If you rent out a single-family home or a smaller building, check with the city about what applies.
What should I check before remodeling an older Troy home?
An electrical inspection is recommended for homes 40 years or older. If the house was built before 1978, lead-safe methods may be needed when old paint is disturbed. What you need depends on your house and the work already done.
Who handles permits for projects in Troy?
Troy's Building Inspection department handles permits and inspections. Whether you need one depends on your property and the work, so check with them first. If your home is a designated historic property, the Historic District Commission may also be involved.
