About Detroit Roof Pros: Licensed Roofing Pros in MI
Detroit Roof Pros is built around the housing stock this city actually has. Data Driven Detroit, using Assessor records and the Motor City Mapping survey, describes the typical house here as a brick, one to one-and-a-half story single family home built in 1937, and Census figures show more than three quarters of Detroit's housing units were built before 1960.
That is a city of solidly built houses carrying old roofs, which is a very different problem from a city of new houses. It is also why we quote plane by plane rather than by the square: on a story-and-a-half, part of the roof sits over an attic and part of it sits two inches above a bedroom ceiling, and those two parts deserve different advice and different timing.
When not to hire us. If your roof is genuinely fine and somebody has told you otherwise, we will say so and charge you an inspection fee instead of five figures. We decline tile installations without a structural engineer's letter, we will not coat asphalt shingles, and we will not help you file an insurance claim on a roof that is simply worn out.
If you have a roofing project in Detroit, the fastest way to get a real number is a free on-site estimate.

How Detroit Roof Pros works
How a job with Detroit Roof Pros runs, start to finish
Site visit first, always. We measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and ask what you are actually trying to solve — then you get an itemized free estimate in writing with materials, scope and a realistic date on it.
Once the work starts, the same crew stays on the job until it is done. We protect the surrounding area, clean up daily, and tell you the moment something under the surface changes the plan, because the alternative is a surprise invoice and nobody wants that conversation. a written workmanship warranty backs the finished work.
What we will not do
We do not quote a roofing job over the phone, take deposits before a written scope exists, or bid work we are not set up to do properly. If your project needs a different trade, we say so and point you at someone who does it well. Losing a job is cheaper than doing one badly in Detroit.
Where Detroit Roof Pros works and who we work with
Detroit, MI first, then the surrounding communities of southeast Michigan: Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, Livonia, Redford, Garden City, Wyandotte, Lincoln Park, Allen Park and more. Each of those has its own page with local detail rather than a copy of this one.
Work splits roughly between homeowners and commercial property — offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA boards across southeast Michigan. Start with the Detroit services, the Detroit Roof Pros homepage, or just call (844) 511-2320.
Why Detroit Chooses Detroit Roof Pros
- ✓We label every roof plane attic above or finished space above before we price anything, because that is what decides whether a repair or a replacement is the honest answer.
- ✓The inspection happens indoors as well as outdoors. A pin moisture meter on plaster at the knee-wall base finds what a scuttle-hole inspection structurally cannot reach.
- ✓Deck work is priced as its own line. Square-edge 1x6 board sheathing is renailed where sound and overlaid by the section where it is not, with the square footage stated.
- ✓Ventilation is quoted as a path, not a product. If the wood soffit behind your aluminum was never cut open, a ridge vent has been drawing on nothing for years.
- ✓We decline work we think is wrong: tile without a structural engineer's letter, coatings over asphalt shingles, and insurance claims on roofs that are simply worn out.
- ✓Tear-offs over occupied rooms are done in sections and dried in the same day, with existing ceiling cracks photographed first so nothing is argued about afterwards.
What Detroit Customers Say
Third quote we got, and the only one that mentioned the upstairs at all. He pulled the little door behind the knee wall, showed me the insulation jammed against the boards, and explained why the ridge vent the last company sold us was never going to work. We did the baffles and the front planes and left the back for next year.
Called about hail after the storms in June, fully expecting to be told we needed a new roof. Instead he chalked squares on both slopes, counted, and told us there was nothing there and the granules in the downspout were just age. Saved us a denied claim. We used them a year later when the roof actually did need doing.
Our 1926 house has a dormer on the front and the leak was showing up in a closet on the other side of the room. They did a hose test in stages instead of guessing, found the step flashing stopped short at the dormer return, and fixed it for a few hundred dollars. Patched and painted the inspection cut too.
We wanted tile and got a very direct explanation of why the framing would not take it and what an engineer's letter would cost. Ended up with stone-coated steel on the main roof and a soldered pan on the porch deck. Crew stripped in sections so the bedrooms were never open, and they photographed the ceiling cracks before starting.
