What affects the price

Replacing your roof involves several variables that shift your final bill. The total square footage of your property is the biggest factor, followed closely by the pitch or steepness of your roof, which dictates how safely crews can work. You will also need to choose your materials—architectural shingles, metal, or tile each carry different price points. We also have to account for the removal and disposal of your current roof, plus the condition of the underlying wood decking that might need repairs once the old shingles are off. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Roofing tar is a thick, black adhesive used to seal joints, flashings, and small gaps to keep water out. It is often a temporary fix for minor leaks, but it can also be used as a component in built-up roofing systems. If you notice localized leaks around your chimney or vents, tar is often the first line of defense. It is not a permanent solution for large-scale damage. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in Detroit

What are the benefits of TPO roofing for Detroit properties?

TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) roofing is a highly popular choice for flat or low-slope roofs in Detroit due to its durability, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. It's resistant to UV rays, ozone, and extreme temperatures, making it well-suited for the varied Michigan climate. TPO seams are heat-welded, creating a strong, monolithic barrier against water. The independent service providers we work with are experts in TPO application, ensuring a watertight and long-lasting roof for your home or business. They will ensure your TPO roof is installed to the highest standards, providing reliable protection.

How does sheet metal roofing compare to other options in Detroit?

What are the characteristics of corrugated metal roofing?

Are clay roof tiles suitable for Detroit's climate?

While clay roof tiles offer a beautiful, traditional look, their suitability for Detroit's climate can be a concern due to their weight and susceptibility to freeze-thaw damage. In regions with significant snowfall and temperature fluctuations like Michigan, the moisture absorbed by clay tiles can freeze and expand, leading to cracking. Metal roofing or high-quality asphalt shingles are often more resilient choices for Detroit's weather. The experienced professionals we partner with can discuss the pros and cons of various materials based on your specific property and the local climate conditions. They will guide you toward the most durable and weather-appropriate solution.
