Warren
Repairs, upkeep, and remodeling for Warren homes and rentals, from City Center to the Van Dyke corridor.
Working in Warren
Half of Warren's homes were built by 1965, and about seven in ten are owner occupied. Familiar areas include Historic Warren Village, Heritage Village, City Center, Southwest Warren, and the neighborhoods along the Van Dyke corridor. Many houses here are now well past 40 years old, which is when an electrical inspection is recommended, and homes built before 1978 may have lead-based paint that needs lead-safe methods when disturbed. Neither means your house has a problem, but both are worth knowing, and we check the existing wiring and past updates before planning larger work. If you rent out a home, Warren requires a rental license and an inspection every two years, so it helps to keep repairs current between inspections. The city also has a historic district, and any exterior change there needs a permit. Warren's Public Service Department covers building, rental inspection, water, sewer, and property maintenance, and the city runs its own water and sewer system, so that is where to start with questions about the public lines.
