Detroit''s stock of historic homes and its hard winters shape the local home-service list. Heating, roofing, and careful renovation of older homes stay near the top all year.
What is different about Detroit
- Winters: frozen pipes, heating failures, and ice dams spike in the cold months. A pre-winter tune-up pays off.
- Historic homes: grand older houses mean old boilers, knob-and-tube, and plaster that reward skilled hands.
- Snow: winter snow removal is a seasonal staple.
- Renovation: a lot of restoration work across the city and inner suburbs.
