Roofing for Ypsilanti homes

Ypsilanti’s historic homes, from Depot Town to Normal Park and the College Heights area near EMU, often have ornate trim, multiple gables, and original details that reward an experienced crew.

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 Ypsilanti weather. Decades of Michigan freeze-thaw and ice take a real toll on the exteriors of Ypsilanti’s older homes. That punishes shingles, lifts flashing, and lets ice back up under the eaves.

Permits handled for you. Permit requirements vary by location around Ypsilanti. When your project needs one, we pull the permit and handle the inspection for you.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Steep pitches, multiple dormers, and old chimneys are common on Ypsilanti’s historic homes. Our crews are equipped for complex roofs, and we replace worn flashing and underlayment, not just the shingles on top.

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.
