What We Actually See In Grosse Pointe.
Restoration is not the same job in every city. The building stock and the ground it sits on decide what fails and how it has to be dried.
Historic lakefront homes on Lake St. Clair, with mature canopy and a high water table.
The Grosse Pointe communities sit directly on Lake St. Clair, with substantial historic homes, mature tree canopy and a water table that reflects the lake right beside them. The housing is old, large and built from materials that are expensive and slow to replace properly.
That combination makes restoration here demanding on both fronts. Storms off the lake produce wind and water damage to roofs, windows and mature trees over valuable structures; and below ground, lake-driven water tables keep constant pressure on basements full of finished space and stored contents.

What Each Season Does In Grosse Pointe.
Damage in Grosse Pointe is seasonal in a way that is fairly predictable — which means a lot of it is preventable.
| Season | What it does here |
|---|---|
| Spring | Lake levels and groundwater at their highest under historic basements. |
| Summer | Storms off Lake St. Clair with wind-driven rain at the shoreline. |
| Fall | Sustained wind events and heavy leaf load from mature canopy. |
| Winter | Ice damage on shoreline property and damming on complex old rooflines. |

What Grosse Pointe Callers Ask.
Our basement is damp year-round. Is that the lake?
Almost certainly. A water table this close to Lake St. Clair keeps constant pressure on below-grade space, which is a different problem from a one-off flood.
Can you restore original finishes in a historic home?
Yes — careful drying first, then matched reconstruction. Original millwork and plaster are worth the extra time and it is why one licensed builder carries the job.
Do storms off the lake cause different damage?
Noticeably. Roof, window and siding damage from wind-driven rain that inland streets do not experience.
