Roofing Systems We Install
Choosing the right roofing system is just as important as choosing the right contractor. We help homeowners and businesses understand their options and recommend the system that's the best fit for their property.
Duro-Last® PVC Low-Slope Commercial Roofing
- Membrane Thickness Options: Available in heavy-duty 40, 50, and 60 mil sheets.
- Seam Integrity: Up to 85% of membrane seams are custom-prefabricated in a controlled factory environment to prevent on-site installation human error.
- Reflectivity: Energy Star certified with up to 88% initial light reflectance, dramatically lowering commercial cooling costs.

Trusted Roofing Manufacturers
Quality materials are the foundation of a long-lasting roof. That's why we install roofing systems from manufacturers we've trusted for years.
Common Roofing Problems We Solve
Many roofing problems begin long before they're visible from the ground. Understanding the warning signs can help you protect your property and avoid more costly repairs.
Roof Leaks
Roof leaks can develop around flashing, penetrations, seams, roof edges, or aging roofing materials. Finding and repairing leaks early helps prevent interior damage, mold growth, insulation problems, and costly structural repairs.
Aging Roofs
Every roofing system has a service life. Over time, weather, UV exposure, temperature changes, and normal wear can cause roofing materials to deteriorate. Regular inspections help identify developing problems before they lead to leaks or premature roof failure.
Ice Dams
Michigan winters can be tough on every type of roof. Snow, ice, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can damage roofing materials, create drainage issues, and lead to leaks if problems aren't addressed promptly.
Wind Damage
Strong winds can damage shingles, metal panels, flashing, roof edges, and low-slope roofing systems. Even minor wind damage can create openings that allow water intrusion if repairs are delayed.
Hail Damage
Hail can damage asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and low-slope roofing membranes without leaving obvious signs from the ground. A professional inspection helps identify hidden damage before it leads to leaks or shortens the life of your roofing system.

Michigan Roofing FAQ
Still have questions? Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive from homeowners and commercial property owners.
How do I know if I need a roof repair or a full replacement?
Deciding between a roof repair and a full replacement depends on system age, damage extent, and structural deck integrity.
- Residential Roofs: Targeted repairs fix localized wind damage, missing shingles, or flashing leaks on roofs under 15 years old. A full replacement is required for widespread leaks across multiple slopes, severe granule loss, or rotted wood decking.
- Commercial Roofs: Patch repairs fix minor punctures, isolated seam splits, or flashings. Full replacements or re-covers are required when moisture saturates the underlying insulation, widespread seam failure occurs, or single-ply membranes reach the end of their 15-to-30-year lifespan.
How much does a new roof cost in Michigan?
Roof replacement costs depend on material selection, roof square footage, slope, and structural decking condition.
- Residential Asphalt Shingles: Average between $8,000 and $20,000+ for standard architectural shingle systems.
- Residential Metal Roofs: Range from $15,000 to $35,000+ depending on whether exposed fastener or standing seam panels are installed.
- Commercial Single-Ply Membranes: Commercial flat roofs (such as Duro-Last PVC or TPO) typically cost between $6.00 and $14.00 per square foot installed, depending on insulation thickness, deck repairs, and warranty duration.
How long does a roof installation take?
Most residential roof replacements take 1 to 2 days to complete, depending on roof size, pitch complexity, weather conditions, and the extent of deck repairs. Commercial low-slope membrane replacements take 3 to 7+ days, structured in phased sections to ensure minimal operational disruption to daily business activities.
How long does a roof inspection and estimate take?
An on-site roof inspection typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. During this time, we assess surface materials, examine flashing seams and attic ventilation, take high-resolution digital photos of problem areas, and measure roof square footage. Detailed written estimates are provided within 24 to 48 hours of inspection completion.
What should I do if I think my roof has storm damage?
If you suspect storm damage from hail or wind, first schedule a professional roof inspection to document physical evidence safely. Avoid walking on the roof yourself. If active leaks occur inside the property, place buckets to catch water and clear personal belongings from the area. We capture digital damage photos, install emergency tarps if needed, and provide the structural evidence required by insurance adjusters during the claims process.
What financing options are available?
We offer flexible home improvement financing options to help property owners manage replacement costs through manageable monthly payments. Financing plans include low monthly payment options, fixed interest rate loans, and short-term zero-interest promotional periods for qualifying residential and commercial applicants.
