Commercial deck work in Farmington Hills

Farmington Hills built attached condos through the seventies and eighties at a pace few suburbs matched, and every one of those communities now has a board staring at the same math: dozens or hundreds of balconies and deck stacks, all built the same year, all aging together. When identical structures age in lockstep, the question is never one repair. It is a program, a reserve study line, and a phasing plan.
Detroit Deck Rebuild works for boards and their managers on exactly that problem. The engagement starts with a full inventory walkdown, every balcony and stack rated with photos, and produces the document a reserve study needs: what fails first, what the per-unit rebuild costs from the published guide, and what a three-or-five-year phasing plan looks like in real dollars. Boards vote better with numbers in front of them, and we supply the numbers.
Construction then runs the way associations need: identical details across units so the community stays uniform, owners noticed before their stack starts, and a paper trail, permits, inspections, materials, that the association keeps forever. Special-assessment conversations are hard enough; the contractor’s job is making the scope and price side of them boring.
Identical balconies, unequal aging
Association balconies hide their differences behind identical railings. Two balconies built the same week can be a decade apart in condition because of sun exposure, downspout placement, or an owner’s planter habit, which is why per-stack inspection beats per-community assumptions. The phasing plan should follow measured condition, and ours do.
The association landscape
The work comes from the Grand River corridor associations, condo communities off Middlebelt and Orchard Lake, the 12 and 13 Mile complexes, attached-condo stock across the Hills, covering ZIPs 48331, 48334, 48335, 48336. If your property stands near those, we have probably already worked a structure within sight of it.

Condo board questions
How do we budget balcony rebuilds for our reserve study?
Start with the published per-balcony range, $9,000 to $22,000 structural, then tighten it with an inventory walkdown that rates every stack. The resulting report plugs directly into a reserve study: counts, per-unit costs, urgency ranking, and a phasing plan. Boards get the document before committing to any construction.
Can the association phase the work over several years?
Yes, and most do. Phasing by building or by urgency tier spreads the cost across budget years while the highest-risk stacks get done first. Pricing holds within a stated window for later phases, and each phase closes with its own permits and documentation.
Will rebuilt balconies match the ones not yet done?
Visually, yes: profiles, rail styles, and colors carry across phases so the community never looks patchworked. Structurally the new stacks meet current code, which occasionally changes a dimension, guard height is the common one, and we flag every such difference to the board before work starts.
Who deals with the owners during construction?
We do the day-to-day: posted schedules, unit notices before each stack, and a single point of contact owners can actually reach. The board hears about exceptions, not logistics. Association work lives or dies on communication and we staff for it.
