Roof Repair Dearborn, MI | Same-Day Estimate, No Subcontractors | (734) 602-4250

Q: What is the difference between Duration and Duration Storm shingles?

Both are Owens Corning shingles. Duration suits most homes. Duration Storm is the line built to take more impact from hail and debris. If your roof needs a full replacement later, we can explain how each fits your house so you choose with the facts in front of you.

Q: Can you make a temporary repair if water is coming in now?

Often, yes. We can frequently tarp the roof or make a temporary repair within 24 hours of your call. That keeps water out of the insulation and ceiling while the permanent fix is planned. Call the office and tell us where the water is showing so we can bring the right materials.

Q: Do you use subcontractors on repairs?

No. Our own crew does the work. That matters on a flashing repair, where the person who finds the problem should be the one who fixes it. You also know who is responsible for the work, because there is no handoff between companies.

Q: Can I see your insurance before you start?

Yes. We are licensed in Michigan and carry general liability and workers comp, and you get the certificates before work begins. Ask for them when you book. It protects your home and your finances if something goes wrong on the roof, so we would rather you ask than not.

Q: How soon can I get an estimate?

The estimate is free and written, and it is often delivered the same day you call. We look at the roof in person, so what you receive is based on your house and not a guess. If you are not ready to move forward, the estimate still tells you where the roof stands.

If a ceiling stain on your Dearborn brick colonial sits near the chimney or along a wall, failed flashing is the first thing to check. Kincaide Roofing repairs the joint, checks the wood beneath it, and tells you honestly if the roof needs more than a repair.

Roof leaks around flashing in Dearborn

If water shows up near your chimney or where an upper wall meets the roof, the shingles are rarely the problem. Flashing is the bent metal that seals those joints, and on an older brick colonial it sits where brick, wood and roofing all move at different rates. The seal at the edges dries and cracks, and water follows the gap down behind the wall.

Older Dearborn homes often have two stories, a chimney through the roof and several walls rising from lower slopes. Each of those joints is a place for flashing to fail. Roofing tar smeared over a crack looks like a repair for a season or two, then splits again the first time the brick and metal shift.

Checking the wood under the leak

You deserve to know what the water has already done before anyone closes it up. We look at the decking around the leak, which is the board layer the shingles nail into, and press on it to feel for soft spots. Wood that stayed wet for a long time can rot, and shingles laid over rot do not stay put. The same crew handles roofing in Dearborn from start to finish.

If the decking is sound, we repair or replace the flashing and seal it properly. If it is soft, we cut out the bad boards and replace them first. We also look at the attic side when we can, because stained or damp wood there shows how far the water has traveled. Our roof repair estimate is free, often the same day.

Roof repair in Dearborn or a new roof

Not every leak needs a new roof, and we do not want to sell you one you do not need. A flashing repair makes sense when the shingles across the slope still lie flat and keep their granules, the gritty coating that protects them. If they are curling, bald or lifting everywhere, fixing one joint will not stop the next leak.

We tell you which case you have and show you why. A roof replacement in Dearborn is torn off to the decking in a single layer, uses Owens Corning Duration shingles and most finish in one day.
