Nobody wants to hear their roof needs replacing — which is exactly why we'll never tell you that unless it's true. When shingles are brittle across whole slopes, leaks keep appearing in new spots, or decking is soft in multiple areas, replacement stops being the expensive option and becomes the only one that works. We do full tear-offs with architectural shingles, engineered for Michigan weather, and we show you exactly why repair won't cut it before you decide.
Here's how we make the call with you: we photograph shingle condition across every slope, test brittleness, check the attic for widespread decking issues, and look at the leak history. If damage is localized and the roof has life left, we'll recommend repair — we'd rather earn your next call than oversell this one.
Replacement earns its recommendation when the evidence is system-wide: that's when patching becomes money spent twice.
Tear-off down to the decking — no layering over old problems. Decking inspected and replaced where soft or rotted. Ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys (non-negotiable in Michigan), quality underlayment, new flashing at every penetration, architectural shingles with proper nailing, ridge vent for balanced ventilation, and a full magnetic sweep of your yard for nails.
You get photos at every stage, because most of the important work gets covered up.
Most Dearborn homes re-roof in one to three days depending on size and complexity. You'll have a crew on site, a dumpster or trailer in the driveway, and some noise — we protect landscaping, keep the site tidy daily, and walk the finished roof with you before final payment. Your written quote locks the scope, materials, timeline, and total before we start.
