"The technician did an excellent job. It did take a while to get the repair finished, but that was due to Bertazzoni delivering the parts. I have had multiple problems with this particular appliance. My range now works better than it did when new, but I have a feeling that even if I have continuing problems with it, American Home Shield will just repair rather than replace due to the cost of the range. By the way, I'm not exactly sure of the date of the repair."

"Jeremy was a lifesaver! I had extensive water damage in my bathroom that resulted in a hole in the floor. As a single mother, I was concerned for the safety of my children. The first few contractors I spoke to treated me like a number. Jeremy however, rearranged his schedule and came out the next morning! He was fair and honest in what work needed to be done. Other contractors quoted me for work that wasn’t necessary and without even looking at my floor! He brought me piece of mind in a stressful situation. I will trust him with all of my home repair needs from now on!"

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Proceeding with home building without obtaining required permits is a major error that forces project demolitions. Homeowners also mistakenly hire uncertified specialists or underestimate strict floodplain regulations near the river. Another frequent mistake involves pouring concrete late in the MI fall, exposing the foundation to damaging frost. Always correct lot drainage issues before construction begins, and verify all historic district rules to keep your property compliant and secure.

Helpful?

Start by contacting the local building department to confirm permit requirements for home building. You must verify your zoning district to ensure your project complies with setback rules. Always check your floodplain status and research any historic district guidelines. Finally, schedule concrete work outside the harsh MI winter to prevent frost complications, and contact state utility notification services at least three days before digging to keep your site safe.

Helpful?

A prime candidate for home building features a solid poured concrete foundation free of severe cracks or bowing. Your lot must have adequate space to meet Saint Clair setback requirements without exceeding maximum coverage limits. Homes with updated 200-amp electrical panels and modern plumbing easily support new additions. Properties with a consistent permit history and no undisturbed lead or asbestos materials present the smoothest path forward for construction.

Helpful?

Older properties in Saint Clair feature knob-and-tube wiring, plaster walls, or rubble stone foundations that require updates before starting home building. If your property sits near the river, floodplain regulations mandate elevated construction. Additionally, small lot sizes and strict setback rules restrict where you place additions. Inspect your foundation and check zoning rules early to ensure your structure supports your planned upgrades safely.

Helpful?

Piling snow directly against foundation walls traps moisture and accelerates wood rot on new home building work. Delaying exterior caulking maintenance allows water intrusion that worsens during Saint Clair freeze-thaw cycles. Overwatering foundation plants in clay-heavy soil also increases moisture pressure against your structure. Maintain proper attic ventilation to prevent winter ice dams, and keep your basement sump pump clear to protect your finished spaces from flooding.
