Ferndale is one of Metro Detroit's most vibrant communities, with a housing stock full of character. From charming bungalows near downtown Ferndale to mid-century ranches and newer infill construction, every home has its own unique features and potential issues.
Many Ferndale homes were built in the 1920s through 1950s, which means they may have original plumbing, electrical systems, and foundation construction. As a licensed builder, I know what to look for in these older homes and how to explain my findings clearly.
I serve all of Ferndale, including neighborhoods near downtown, along Woodward Avenue, and throughout the Ferndale Public Schools district. I also serve surrounding areas including Royal Oak, Oak Park, Pleasant Ridge, and Hazel Park.

Ferndale, MI is characterized by its walkable downtown, historic housing stock, and a strong sense of community. The city features many charming bungalows and Cape Cod-style homes from the 1920s-1940s, as well as mid-century modern properties that reflect the area's growth during the post-war boom. Ferndale's older homes often sit on the region's prevalent clay soil, which can lead to foundation movement and requires careful inspection for cracks, uneven floors, and proper drainage. Additionally, many historic properties in Ferndale may still have original knob-and-tube wiring or aging electrical panels that need evaluation for safety and capacity. The city's newer infill developments and renovations also require attention to ensure they integrate properly with existing structures and meet current building codes. Our inspection service appreciates Ferndale's unique blend of historic charm and modern vitality, providing detailed evaluations that consider both the character and the practical aspects of each property.
