Roof replacement in Westland when patching stops working

If you have paid to fix the same roof two or three springs in a row, you are probably chasing a leak that will just move somewhere else. Shingles dry out as they age, shed their granules and stop sealing to each other, so water finds a new gap every time an old one gets closed. Most Westland homes went up in the 1950s and 1960s, so the roof on yours is likely far from the first one the house has worn. If the damage is still in one spot, roof repair in Westland may be all you need.

Ranch homes add a twist of their own. The whole house sits under one wide, fairly low roof, so there is a lot of shingle taking the weather, and snow sits longer before it slides off. Once the shingles across that whole surface are curling or bald, repair money stops buying you time. A new roof also pairs well with fresh siding in Westland if the walls are tired too.

What replacement day looks like

Most homeowners dread a new roof because they picture a week of hammering and strangers on the house. The job goes quickly when one crew stays on one house, so we book only one full replacement per day and most homes are finished the same day we start. Our own crew does all of it, because we do not use subcontractors, and you can see who we are on our roofing in Westland page. You can read more about roof replacement across Wayne County.

We strip the old roof down to the wood and never lay a second layer on top. That is when we inspect the decking, the boards the shingles nail into, which an older house can hide under years of old roofing. Then ice and water shield goes down, a sticky membrane that keeps water out if ice backs up under the shingles, and Owens Corning Duration or Duration Storm shingles go on over it.

How much does a new roof cost in Westland?

You probably want a number before you let anyone climb up there, and a phone price based on square footage is usually wrong. Four things move the price: how big the roof is, how steep it is, how many old layers have to come off and which shingle you choose. A typical residential replacement with us runs $8,500 to $16,000.

We measure your roof in person and give you a written quote at no charge, often on the same day you call. You get a real figure for your house, and the decision stays with you. If you live in Garden City, our roof replacement in Garden City page covers steeper roofs and dormers.
