Roof replacement in Allen Park before you buy or sell

If you are selling an Allen Park bungalow, a tired roof gives a buyer room to argue over the price. If you are buying one, you want to know what the roof will cost before you sign. See roofing in Allen Park for the rest of what we do.

Most Allen Park homes are post war brick bungalows, and the brick makes a roof problem hard to spot from outside. Water gets under the shingles, runs down inside the wall cavity or the attic, and stays out of sight for a long time. We climb up, look at the shingles and tell you in writing what the roof needs. For a single leak, roof repair in Allen Park may be enough. The estimate is free, and the quote is often ready the same day you call.

Eaves are where bungalow roofs fail

If your bungalow has stains on the ceiling near the outside walls, water is probably backing up at the eaves. The eaves are the lower edges of the roof, and on a low slope, melting snow and ice can force water under the shingles there.

Ice and water shield is a sticky waterproof membrane that seals itself around nails and stops that water from reaching the wood. We lay it along the eaves on every replacement, then put Owens Corning Duration or Duration Storm shingles over it. Before any of that, we tear the old roof off to the decking, the boards the shingles nail into, and inspect them. We never put a second layer over the old one. This is how every roof replacement we do begins.

What a replacement costs and what it covers

If you need a number to plan a sale or a purchase, a phone guess will not help you. Roof size, pitch, the number of old layers and the shingle you choose all move the price. A typical residential replacement with us runs $8,500 to $16,000. Taylor homes follow a similar process, described in roof replacement in Taylor.

We measure your roof in person and write the quote at no charge. We book one full replacement per day, so most homes are finished the same day we start, with our own crew and no subcontractors. As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we can offer the TotalProtection warranty, which covers materials and labor. New siding in Allen Park can finish the curb appeal before a sale.
