Common Questions

How do you handle a leaky skylight or moss on my Detroit roof?

These are common Detroit issues due to our weather. For a leaky skylight, we first perform a detailed inspection to find the exact source—often the flashing or sealant. We then perform a precise repair or, if needed, a full skylight replacement using materials rated for Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles. For moss, we provide safe roof cleaning to remove it and can advise on preventative solutions like zinc strips to inhibit future growth, protecting your roof's lifespan.

What's involved in your gutter installation process?

Our process begins with assessing your home's specific needs, factoring in Detroit's rainfall and your roof's pitch. We ensure proper sizing, pitch, and placement for optimal water flow away from your foundation. Using durable materials suited for our climate, we secure gutters with a hidden hanger system for a clean look and long-lasting performance. We complete the job with thorough downspout placement to direct water safely away from your property.

When is a roof repair enough, and when is a full replacement necessary for my home?

This depends on the roof's age, the extent of damage, and the condition of the underlying structure. During our inspection, we look for widespread leaks, multiple failing shingles, or decking rot—common signs a replacement is the more reliable, long-term solution. For isolated damage from a storm or wear in a small area, a targeted repair is often sufficient. We provide honest, clear recommendations so you can make an informed decision for your home and budget.
