Roofing in Dearborn for older homes that wear out together

If your brick colonial or two story home is showing age on the roof, the eaves and the gutters at the same time, that is no coincidence. Water runs off the roof into the gutters, past the fascia (the board along the roof edge) and down the walls, so a problem in one place soon shows up in the next.

Many Dearborn homes are older brick colonials and two story houses, with several roof planes meeting at corners and dormers. Each meeting point is a place where water can slip in. When we look at one part of the exterior, we look at its neighbors too. Start with our roofing services if the roof is the main worry, or see siding in Dearborn if the walls and trim worry you more.

The order of work on a full exterior

When you want the whole outside done, you need the jobs in an order that does not undo itself. The roof goes first (our roof replacement in Dearborn page shows how a replacement runs), because new shingles and the metal edges under them set where the water lands. Then the siding trim and the soffit (the underside of the roof overhang), and the gutters go on last so nobody damages them.

Our own crew does every step, because we do not use subcontractors, so the team that finished the roof knows what the siding crew needs. On the roof we tear off to the decking, check it, and install ice and water shield and Owens Corning Duration shingles. Vinyl siding goes on after we check the sheathing, the boards behind the siding, and fix any rot. Ask about gutters when we walk the house, and homeowners in other cities can see the same approach at roofing in Taylor.
