Roofing in Hazel Park, MI
Hazel Park holds one of the very few entries in this region's storm record that names roof damage outright. On 17 April 2024 a 56 mph gust here produced roof damage to a commercial and an apartment building, with trees uprooted and limbs downed, and 20,000 dollars of property damage logged.
The hail record is heavier still. On 4 July 2012 four separate reports came in between 5.34 and 5.50 in the afternoon, the largest measuring an inch and three quarters. Stones that size crack the mat outright rather than merely bruising it, and a roof that took that day and was never inspected is carrying damage nobody has priced.
On 3 September 2011 a 65 mph gust cut a two-mile swath of downed trees and large limbs through the city, and on 18 June 2010 a 61 mph event uprooted numerous large trees. Three separate mechanisms, three separate kinds of damage, and only one of them shows from the pavement.
The stock underneath is mixed by Oakland standards. Median year built is 1955, but 19.5 percent predates 1940 and 31.4 percent is 1950s, so a Hazel Park block can carry a plank-decked bungalow next door to a sheathed ranch. We open a test square rather than assume from the house next door.
Owner occupancy is 66.1 percent with a third of units rented and vacancy at 7.0 percent. On a rented single-family house the decision belongs to somebody who may never see the roof, so we put the per-plane condition note in writing and hand it to whoever signs.
Hazel Park enforces its own code program for building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing, with no county building department in Oakland County behind it. Ground snow load is 25 pounds per square foot, and the eave membrane has to carry two feet past the exterior wall line before the field underlayment starts.
Our Hazel Park advice: if you owned the house in July 2012 and never had the roof looked at, do that before you spend money on anything else up there. Thirteen-year-old hail cracks do not heal and they do not stop leaking. We chalk test squares on every plane and hand you the images, so you can see which are worth a claim and which are simply worn out.
Roofing work we do in Hazel Park, MI
Detroit Roof Pros covers the same range of work in Hazel Park that we do in Detroit — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Asphalt Shingle Roofs — Asphalt is the right covering for very nearly every house in this city, and the interesting decisions are not about brand. They are about what the shingle is being nailed into, and how many layers are already sitting up there.
- Metal Roofing & Standing Seam — Metal earns its place on this housing stock in specific spots and not everywhere. We fit a great deal of it on porch roofs, bay tops and rear addition decks, and we talk most homeowners out of a full standing seam reroof on a dormered bungalow.
- Tile Roofing — We will usually decline this job, and we would rather explain why once, clearly, than quote it and let somebody else find the problem later. Putting clay or concrete tile on a typical Detroit house is a structural question before it is a roofing question.
- Flat & Low-Slope Roofing — The low-slope roofs on this housing stock are small, and most of them sit directly over a finished room with a plaster ceiling and no cavity worth speaking of. That, and not the membrane on top, is what makes them fail early.
- Roof Coatings & Sealing — We will not coat your shingle roof. There is a small, real, useful market for roof coatings in this city and asphalt shingles are not part of it, so this page mostly exists to explain what we say no to, and why we say it.
- Roof & Rafter-Bay Ventilation — This is the page where we most often disagree with the last contractor who was here. A ridge vent cut into a story-and-a-half roof with no continuous path beneath it does not ventilate anything, and in some houses it makes matters worse.

About Hazel Park, MI — and why local matters here
Hazel Park sits in Oakland County with a population of roughly 14,983, close enough to Detroit that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include Green Acres Park, the John R Road corridor.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Hazel Park properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Oakland County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.
