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:
- Roof Repair — Damage you can point to, not chase. A course of shingles the wind took off a dormer cheek, a split pipe boot, failed step flashing on a wall return, a ridge cap that has blown apart, a soft spot in board sheathing found during a routine look.
- 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.
- Cool Roof Installation — The call we take in February is about ice at the eave. The call we take in July is about a reflective shingle.
- 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.
- Hail Damage Roofing — Most of the Detroit roofs we get called to inspect for hail turn out to have none. Saying that first is the honest version of this page, and it is why we will usually talk a caller out of a claim rather than into one.
- Insurance Claim Help — On claims, the single most useful thing we do is talk somebody out of filing. Age-related deterioration is not a covered peril on any policy we have read, and a claim filed on a worn roof usually ends as a denial with an inspection attached to your record.

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.
