So much potential in Detroit with all of those well-built old buildings. My first house was on the West side of Detroit, very well built, brick exterior, plaster and lath interior and in still in great condition to this day. I think you guys are doing a great service to the area by showcasing these buildings and renovating them.
Some places are just beyond repair, and need to be torn down. This is one of them. No sane developer is putting money into this....not in this zip code. They'd never recoup their $.
Lkke having a cooking channel that never shows a finished dish, just a description of what you might us to cook food in. Everyone just left unsatisfied asf
Yup, pretty rough one. I do like the fireplaces, curved archways ans all that old brick. It's too bad the building deteriorated to the point of no return. It's kind of cool to see folks recognize you guys! Nice!!!
vacant for over 20 years?. Tear down. Unless it was pristine when it when vacant and it was secured the whole time. It will be a loss. It is sad, it was a once beautiful building.
Is it a good idea for a modern construction company to complain about how bad modern construction standards are? Don't you have some control over that?
I wish there were a dependable site that showed the crime and safety of those areas. There's a super sweet house on Chalmers and Jefferson. I bought an old 1929 house in Hazel Park and gutted it. They used real lumber, 2x6 and real boards for the roof. The bones were amazing. I just look at that house for $123K on Chalmers and my mouth waters. OMG, I'd love to gut that thing and fix it up. over 2000 sq ft with a very nice 770 sq ft basement. My biggest issue is living in Detroit. Crime. And dealing with a corrupt inefficient city government.
If that is owned by the city.... they should just give it to a contractor with the conditions there will be a livable unit on that land in a year for someone to buy and move in that is priced at a decent price for the middle class to afford. That is how you start changing an area to get people to live there.
Judging by the discussion during the video, the building is privately owned and up for sale. For the rest, you are confusing housing development and contracting with property management. Contractors fix stuff for landlords, they're not generally in the business of being landlords themselves. As for your general idea, people have been remodeling buildings like this and then renting them out at affordable rates, that's always been a thing. But some buildings like this one are so far gone that people would rather invest elsewhere.
I look at these neighborhoods and if people put the money in the houses, they'd be better neighborhoods than Birmingham. The houses are amazing. It's insane people just left these neighborhoods. Left the big churches, left the big beautiful houses....
What is so wild about this channel on Detroit construction is that there is not one single finished project anywhere in this channel. You do walk throughs of properties (which anyone can do) and that's about all that goes on here. Do you guys actually do work or just tour bandos? This is a serious question. Maybe show a project in progress or better yet a finished one. Detroit is full of fraud, you guys seem hella fishy to be honest
And the only high ratings your business has on goggle are people that's oddly complimenting your UA-cam channel like that's somehow proof of good work, the ratings for work done is averaging 1 star. What's the deal?
Very cool that you guys took the time to talk to that kid!!! You guys need a HGTV show for sure, the content is that great and unique!❤️
Yes, great idea - come on HGTV!
I’m waiting for their call! 📱 😂
My most favorite urbex channel
I’m glad to hear that!

100%
Couldn’t agree more! We’re definitely trying our best 🙏
Great video keep making detroit a better place🙏
Thank you! Will do!
@SanbornConstructionGroup watch in about 2 years detroit will be a main place for tourists, especially when we win the superbowl🙂
Love your spirit. Keep making Detroit property better.
We will!
Some places are just beyond repair, and need to be torn down. This is one of them. No sane developer is putting money into this....not in this zip code. They'd never recoup their $.
Definitely some need to just be demo’d
Any paint that flakes like that has lead in it. Be mindful when touching walls like that.
Good point!
That’s sad, because that’s a beautiful building architecturally.
I did some property development in that area - when I saw the title I immediately thought of this building.
I’m glad we hit the mark then lol
I wouldn't even waste my time even goin inside that hell hole. I could have told you thats a complete tear down just by seeing it from the outside.
But then I wouldn’t have a video! 😂

You and me both! And I agree, it’s nice to see we’re making a difference even if it’s just a few kids
Depending on the condition of the brick and the roof, best case total gut.
It’s more likely a knock down

Some are worth it, some aren’t
Hello from Maggianos 😇 Keep up with the awesome work
Hello Maggianos!
Why hasn't the city bulldozed buildings like this?
City doesn’t have / won’t spend the money on it
Is it a good idea for a modern construction company to complain about how bad modern construction standards are? Don't you have some control over that?
Nope, the paying client and their budget dictate the build material, not us. If it was up to us everything would be brick and limestone

FWIW, you can buy a toilet for $100-200. And installing a toilet is easy as cake. Like a toilet ring cake, lol.

LoL those shit politicians ain't giving a rats ass about this place or having people with housing
I wish the city was that nice!
Correct, we just fix stuff 🤷🏻♂️
Facts. The leadership in the city needs some change
Rock on fellas. This one is rough. Salvage. Is anything like that worth it. Curious
Some are, some aren’t, depends how far gone it is

You guys don’t use drones to go into domiciles beforehand, this would be great footage ? 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
Nope, typically just a loud noise and a flash light lol
Property being that old. How do you feel about lead paint and asbestos plaster?
better to keep the strap than take the dirt nap
💯 💯

sad to see the only beefy piece here would be the one tucked in the waist band.
It’s definitely the primary beefy piece around here
