Roofing for Ann Arbor homes
Ann Arbor is our home base, and we know its housing stock well. We work on everything from the century-old homes of the Old West Side and Water Hill to the mid-century houses in Ann Arbor Hills and the newer construction on the south and west sides.
We install and repair asphalt shingle, metal, and flat roofing systems, and we back our shingle roofs with a lifetime workmanship guarantee. Whether you need a full tear-off and replacement, storm damage repair, or a second opinion before you file an insurance claim, our crews handle the job from inspection to cleanup.
Built for Ann Arbor weather. Ann Arbor’s older homes face heavy snow load, hard freeze-thaw cycles, and the summer thunderstorms that roll through Washtenaw County. That punishes shingles, lifts flashing, and lets ice back up under the eaves.
Permits handled for you. Permit requirements vary by location around Ann Arbor. When your project needs one, we pull the permit and handle the inspection for you.

Most residential roof replacements take one to two days, depending on the size and pitch of the roof, the number of layers being torn off, and the weather. Larger or more complex roofs can take longer. We protect your landscaping and gutters and do a full magnetic nail sweep before we leave.
Yes. We document hail and wind damage with photos, meet your adjuster on site when possible, and provide a detailed estimate that matches the scope of work, so your claim reflects the real cost of repair.
We install architectural (dimensional) asphalt shingles, standing-seam and metal roofing, and flat or low-slope membrane systems for porches, additions, and commercial buildings. During a free estimate we recommend the best fit for your home, your roof slope, and your budget.
