Roofing questions Detroit homeowners ask us
Straight answers from Ted Thompson’s office. If yours is not here, call (313) 600-4538, Monday to Saturday, 8 to 6.
Yes. Every estimate is free and in writing, and we will beat any written estimate from a licensed and insured roofer.
Move valuables away from the drip, put a bucket under it and keep people away from any ceiling that is sagging with water. Do not go on the roof in the dark or in bad weather. Call (313) 600-4538. If water is still coming in after a storm, we tarp the roof to stop more damage and then schedule the repair.
Repair makes sense when the damage is limited to one area and the decking underneath is sound. Replacement makes sense when the damage is widespread, the decking is soft, or repairs keep coming back. The free inspection tells you which one you are looking at, in writing.
Late spring through fall is ideal. We also install in winter on suitable days, following the manufacturer's cold-weather instructions.
Policies generally cover sudden damage, such as wind, hail or a fallen tree, rather than wear from age. Your adjuster and your policy decide what is covered. We document the damage and will meet your adjuster on site if needed.
A 10-year labor warranty on our work, plus the manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty on qualifying shingle systems.
Yes. We are a Michigan Saves partner (Contractor ID 203929) for financing, and we offer discounts for seniors, veterans and first responders.
The repair-or-replace answer depends on the decking, and only an inspection settles it. See roof repair and financing and discounts for more.
