Remodeling in Wixom
Wixom is a mix of 1970s ranches and 1990s and 2000s colonials on wide lots, plus older homes near the original village. Most have tall unfinished basements and builder-grade finishes that have run their course.
Request a walkthrough →What We Find Behind Wixom Walls
Two clear eras and a small older core. We confirm which one your house belongs to before pricing.
1970s Ranches
Wide lots, full basements, and kitchens closed off from the family room. Straightforward to open with a beam.
1990s and 2000s Colonials
Engineered framing, nine-foot basements, and builder-grade kitchens and baths at end of life.
Older Village Homes
Near the original core, pre-1960, with mixed framing and additions layered over time.
Tall Unfinished Basements
The most common untapped square footage in the city, and the best value project here.
What Wixom Houses Have in Common
Newer stock is predictable, older village homes need survey work. Both get the same protection and sequencing.
Engineered Floor Trusses
In the newer homes you cannot notch or drill freely. Plumbing and duct moves get designed around the layout.
Nine-Foot Poured Basements
Tall, dry, and ready to finish. Egress and mechanical relocation are the only real variables.
1970s Panel Capacity
Older ranches often sit at 100 or 150 amp. Kitchens and basements get the upgrade priced up front.
HOA Architectural Review
Many subdivisions review exterior work. We prepare the package so approval does not delay the build.
Mixed Framing in Village Homes
Additions on additions with floor levels that do not match. We shoot elevations early.
Original Decks
Thirty-year-old decks at the end of their service life. Rebuilding to code is usually the better value.
We Pull the Permit, You Do Not
Wixom reviews plans before issuing, and building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical are separate trade permits. We pull all of them under our builder license and handle HOA review where the subdivision requires it.
- →Zoning setbacks and lot coverage confirmed before design
- →Drawings prepared for Wixom review
- →All trade permits pulled by us
- →Inspections sequenced so trades never idle
- →Final approvals handed to you at closeout
Requirements change. We confirm current Wixom code and zoning with the building department on every project before we price it.
Where We Work in Wixom

Anything not answered here, call Tim directly at 313.236.0985.
Is my basement worth finishing?
In the newer subdivisions it is the best value project we do. Tall walls, dry floors, grouped mechanicals.
Can I cut a floor truss for plumbing?
No. We design the plumbing route around the truss layout before demolition starts.
Is my 1970s panel big enough?
Often not for a modern kitchen or finished basement. The load calculation happens during pricing.
Do I need HOA approval?
For exterior work in most Wixom subdivisions, yes. We prepare the architectural package.
My village home has uneven floors. Fixable?
Usually. We shoot elevations at the walkthrough and tell you what one flat plane costs.
Repair or rebuild my deck?
If it is thirty years old, rebuilding to current code is usually better value. We price both honestly.
