Common Roof Damage We See
Burton area roofs take constant abuse from severe weather, winter freeze-thaw cycles, and summer heat. Recognizing these early signs of damage helps prevent major leaks and costly structural repairs. We offer Roof Maintanence Plans that help many Burton property owners.
- Storm & Severe Weather Damage: High winds, hail, and falling debris that lift, crack, or strip shingles and dent metal roofing.
- Ice Dams & Ventilation Issues: Freeze-thaw cycles that trap water under eaves, plus poor airflow that causes curling shingles and high electric bills.
New Roof Project - Burton
What We Did & How We Did It:
We performed a complete tear-off down to the roof deck, replacing all compromised plywood sheathing. To ensure long-term weather tightness, we installed heavy-duty synthetic underlayment, placed ice and water shield along all eaves and valleys, and upgraded the system to high-wind architectural shingles with custom-fitted flashing around the chimney.
The Property & Challenge:
This classic Burton ranch featured an aging 3-tab shingle roof with worn valley flashing and inadequate attic venting. After years of heavy snow accumulation and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles common along Belsay Road area, the sub-decking near the chimney had begun to rot, causing hidden moisture leaks into the ceiling and framing.
Why The Burton Experience Matters:
Having worked throughout Burton for over 35 years, we know homes built between the 1950s and 1980s often suffer from poor attic ventilation, leading to ice dams in winter and excessive heat that shortens shingle life in summer. By installing continuous ridge ventilation designed for the home's layout, we restored proper airflow, protected the roof decking, and ensured a longer-lasting roof.
- Day 1: Complete tear-off down to decking & rotted sheathing replacement with deck prep
- Day 1–2: Synthetic underlayment, ice/water shield & architectural shingle installation
- Day 2: Custom ridge vent integration, complete site cleanup & final documented inspection
- Day 3: Follow-up customer care check, ground magnetic sweep & quality walkthrough

Burton Roofing Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about roof repairs, new roof installations, roof replacements, storm damage, insurance claims, and free roofing estimates. If you don't see your question below, our team is happy to help.
What areas of Burton do you serve?
We serve all of Burton, from the residential neighborhoods along Belsay Road, Center Road, and Genesee Road, to commercial properties near Court Street, Bristol Road, and Lapeer Road. If you are located anywhere in the Burton city limits or surrounding Genesee County communities—including nearby Davison, Grand Blanc, and Flint—our crew is ready to head your way for repairs, replacements, or a free inspection.
How much does a new residential or commercial roof cost in Burton?
The honest answer is that it varies based on building size, pitch, and materials:
- Residential Roof Replacement: Standard shingle homes in Burton typically range from $7,000 to $15,000+. Many classic post-war ranches and bungalows have older decking that may need repair if water damage is present.
- Commercial Flat Roofs: Commercial properties along Court Street or Bristol Road vary heavily based on total square footage, membrane thickness (Duro-Last PVC/TPO), and insulation needs.
We always provide free, itemized estimates so you know exact costs upfront before any work starts.
How long does a professional roofing inspection and estimate take?
A complete, physical roof inspection usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. We inspect the shingles or flat roof membrane, examine flashing and pipe boots, check ridge vents, and assess attic ventilation.
Once finished, we’ll show you clear photos of what we found on-site. You’ll receive a detailed, written estimate within 1 to 2 business days.
How can I tell if my roof needs to be repaired or replaced?
- When to Repair: Ceiling water spots, isolated missing shingles after a windstorm, cracked pipe boots, or minor flashing leaks.
- When to Replace: Granules piling up in downspouts, brittle shingles across multiple slopes, active leaks in several areas, or a roof approaching the 20-year mark.
We provide free inspections to give you a straight recommendation on whether a targeted repair or a full replacement makes the most sense for your budget.
Can you help with storm damage insurance claims in Burton?
Dealing with insurance adjusters after high winds or hail can be a major headache. We will meet with you, take clear photos of the damage, write up a straightforward estimate, and walk you through the process so your claim gets handled properly and your roof gets fixed fast.
