Restoration in Harper Woods

Harper Woods' Building Department is open Monday to Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and closed on Friday, at 19617 Harper Ave., 313-343-2526, building@harperwoods.net, with a permit technician for general information. It reviews plans before permits are issued, and the page does not mention plumbing permits by name. A Friday fire or flood therefore waits until Monday for paperwork, which is one reason to ask a company what it can do before a permit.
