Quick answer
Fire restoration in Southfield covers single-family homes from around the late 1960s, a large stock of apartments and condos, and office buildings. With only about half of homes owner-occupied, many jobs involve landlords, tenants and property managers, so we document the building and each unit separately and clean common areas first.
What fire jobs look like in Southfield
Southfield sits just north of Detroit's Eight Mile Road, one of the closer Oakland County cities to our Cliff Street office. Its residential streets are mostly brick ranches and colonials, while large apartment and condo complexes and the office corridor along the freeways make up a big part of the city.
That shapes the work. A kitchen fire in a ranch is a single-family job; the same fire in a garden apartment reaches the units above and beside it; and a fire in an office building is about getting tenants back to work. We plan each one differently.
Southfield housing and what it means after a fire
The median home in Southfield was built in 1969, and only about 54 percent of housing units are occupied by their owners, so close to half are rentals. That is a much higher rental share than most of the suburbs around it.
For a fire job, more rentals means more parties: the owner or association, the tenants and often a property manager. We keep each tenant's belongings on their own inventory, test neighboring units for smoke, and clean hallways and stairwells early so the rest of the building stays usable.
