Flexible payment options
Plan a panel or service upgrade with financing in view.
Landmark works with independent finance companies to offer qualified customers a range of payment-plan options. Review the available providers and continue through the provider you choose.
The overhead service must be evaluated as an assembly
A damaged weatherhead may be accompanied by a bent mast, pulled attachment, damaged hub, compromised service conductors or roof-interface damage. Replacing only the most visible part can miss the reason water entered or the service moved.
Landmark examines the accessible customer-owned service equipment, identifies urgent hazards and coordinates the utility-owned service drop through the serving utility.
Common reasons for replacement
Falling branches, ice, wind, roof work, deteriorated cable, loose supports, corrosion and failed weather seals can damage the service entrance. Water tracks at the service or panel, visible conductor damage, a leaning mast or a pulled attachment should be evaluated promptly.
- Service-entrance cable or conductors and their terminations
- Mast or riser support, attachment and required clearances
- Weatherhead, hub and service-entry weather protection
- Meter-base and panel condition when water or impact is present
- Temporary stabilization when permanent repair must wait for structural or roof work
Roofing and utility work must be assigned clearly
Landmark's electrical scope identifies the mast, weatherhead, conductors, fittings and electrical support included. Roof sheathing, shingles, finish flashing, structural repair and utility-owned conductors remain outside the electrical scope unless the proposal specifically states otherwise.
When storm damage involves the roof and live service equipment, the safe sequence may require temporary electrical stabilization before permanent roofing and electrical restoration can be completed.
Codes and standards that apply
These references explain the framework for this work. The adopted code, Michigan amendments, local authority, utility rules, equipment listings and manufacturer instructions must be considered together for the actual installation.
Frequently asked questions
Who repairs the service line from the pole to my house?
DTE identifies the service drop as utility-owned while customer-owned equipment includes the mast, weatherhead-related structure, meter box and service insulator. The exact boundary is confirmed with the serving utility.
Does weatherhead replacement include roof repair?
Not automatically. The electrical proposal identifies the included service components. Roofing, sheathing, flashing finish and structural repairs are separate unless expressly written into the scope.
Can a damaged mast be temporarily supported?
A temporary make-safe measure may be possible when field conditions allow, but it is not represented as a permanent repair. The permanent sequence must coordinate electrical, utility and structural or roofing work.

What your service visit includes
Your $79 dispatch and evaluation charge covers sending an electrical professional to your property and the initial on-site evaluation. During that evaluation, the electrician examines the relevant accessible system, shows or explains the supported findings and identifies the cause when the available evidence reasonably allows. Clear, flat-rate options are presented before approved work begins, and the charge is waived when you proceed with approved work during the visit. Any special access, extended diagnosis, permit or after-hours considerations are explained before work moves forward.
