Roofing services for Detroit homes and commercial buildings
Ted Thompson has been on Detroit roofs for more than 20 years. Homes come first below, then flat and low-slope commercial work. Every job starts with a free inspection and a written estimate, and the roof you are most likely calling about is the first one on the page.

Residential roofing
Roof repair and restoration
Wind-lifted shingles, worn valleys and failed flashing at brick chimneys repaired when the damage is limited and the decking is sound.
Roof leak repairs
Traced back from the ceiling stain to the real source, whether that is a vent boot, a valley, chimney flashing or an ice dam at the eave.

- Emergency roofing and storm damageWhen water is still coming in after a storm we tarp the roof to stop more damage, document it, and meet your insurance adjuster on site if needed.
- New roof installationNew asphalt shingle and metal roofs on new framing, additions and garage builds, with the deck, drip edge and valleys right before the first course.
- Gutters and siding installationGutters and siding installed with the roof, so water leaves the eave cleanly and the roof-to-wall flashing is tied in.
- Garage demolition and new garage buildsTear down a garage that is past saving, rebuild it, or build a new one, with the roof done by the same crew.
Flat and low-slope, commercial and industrial
Commercial roofing

The free inspection, and what comes after it
Choosing between a repair and a replacement is the hard part, and it is the first thing the inspection settles. Ted writes down what he finds, so you can compare it with any other roofer’s paper, and if a licensed and insured roofer writes you a lower number, bring it to us.

- Surface
- Lifted, cracked or missing shingles, bare granule patches, and where the membrane has pulled at a seam on a flat roof.
- Decking
- Soft or stained boards where we can see them from the attic or at the eave, because that decides repair or replacement.
- Flashing
- Chimneys, walls, vent boots and valleys, where most leaks start.
- Ventilation
- Ridge and soffit airflow, which matters for ice dams and for how long the next roof lasts.
On the roof, we look at
A repair makes sense when the damage is in one area and the decking under it is sound. When the damage is widespread, the boards are soft, or repairs keep coming back, the paper says replacement and says why. Read more in the roofing questions homeowners ask us.
