Remodeling in Sterling Heights?
Sterling Heights is Macomb County's second-largest city and skews newer and bigger than its neighbors — 1970s through '90s colonials and split-levels on larger lots, sitting over big, dry full basements that are often already roughed-in for a bath. That makes them ideal to finish: tall ceilings, good footprints, and room to do a media room, home gym, or in-law suite right. The roomy original kitchens and the multiple aging baths in these homes also carry real remodel upside for the move-up buyers this market attracts. Mike renovates for resale, so he builds to the tier Sterling Heights rewards — finished, functional space, not a builder-basic afterthought — insured and quoted as a real number.

Sterling Heights' median home was built in 1977 and about three in four of its nearly 52,000 occupied homes are owner-occupied. The typical house here is close to fifty years old: old enough that the original kitchen and both baths are due, new enough that the structure under them is usually sound. The one ZIP that breaks the pattern is 48314 in the north end, with a 1994 median — newer houses, bigger basements, often a bath rough-in already in the slab.
