A short trip from our Clarkston base
Waterford Township borders Independence Township, home of CNO's Clarkston base, so this is about as close to home as our work gets. Zosim Serban owns and runs the company today, working with one of CNO's 3 crews. CNO has been building since 1970 and is licensed, insured, and A+ rated with the Better Business Bureau.
A township of lakes needs a place for the boats
Waterford has one of the highest lake counts in Oakland County. Cass Lake and Elizabeth Lake are the big names, and dozens of smaller lakes fill in the rest of the township. All that water means boats and campers that sit idle from October through April, and most of the calls we get here are for boat and RV storage: a detached garage sized for the boat and trailer, or a taller bay the camper can pull into.
Tight lake lots, honest answers
Plenty of Waterford parcels are tight lake lots, and a tight lot changes the plan. Setbacks off the water and lot coverage rules decide the footprint before anything else, so the realistic build is often a detached garage or storage building shaped to the lot rather than a big barn. We measure what the parcel allows during the free estimate and design inside it.
Permits through Waterford Township
Waterford Township handles permits for pole barns, garages, and other accessory buildings, and we take care of the drawings, the application, and the inspections. Jobs across the township line in White Lake, Clarkston, Pontiac, or West Bloomfield go through their own offices, and we sort that out the same way.

Call CNO Pole Barns at (248) 625-2334 before another winter of tarps and marina fees. We're close by and the estimate is free. You'll get a written number for a building that fits the lot and the gear going in it.
Common questions in Waterford
Yes, and it's the request we hear most in the township. A detached garage sized for a boat and trailer, or an enclosed bay tall enough for a camper, keeps them out of the weather between seasons. We size the door height and depth around what you actually park, measured at the site visit.
Often a detached garage or a compact storage building rather than a full barn. Water setbacks and lot coverage rules set the footprint, and lake lots rarely leave a clean rectangle to work with. We walk the parcel during the free estimate and lay the building out around what the lot allows.
Waterford Township reviews permits for pole barns, detached garages, and other accessory buildings. We put the application together, including the site plan and construction drawings, and handle the inspections through final sign-off, so the township's process doesn't land on you.
