Roofing Gallery in Detroit

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.
