Roof Replacement & Repair in Ferndale, MI

Shingles peeled back after that last Woodward-corridor windstorm? A ceiling stain over the back bedroom that keeps creeping wider every thaw? On a 90-year-old Ferndale bungalow, small roof problems turn into wet plaster fast. We'll get up there, find where the water's really getting in, and fix it right — no upsell, no runaround. And if it's time for a full roof replacement, we'll walk you through it in plain English before anyone touches a shingle.

Roofing Ferndale homeowners rely on

Ferndale is one of metro Detroit's tightest, oldest inner-ring suburbs — block after block of 1920s and 1930s bungalows and brick colonials on compact lots just off Woodward. A huge share of these homes still carry roofs that were sized for a different era: shallow attics, limited ventilation, and original wood decking under two or three layers of old shingles. That combination is exactly what struggles most through a Michigan winter, when snow load sits on the roof for weeks and freeze-thaw cycles work every seam loose.

Because Ferndale is a renovation town — additions, dormers, second-story pop-tops, kitchen and bath remodels seem to be happening on every street — a big part of our work here is remodel re-roofs and tie-ins. When you open up a wall or raise a roofline, the old and new sections have to be flashed and integrated so they shed water as one roof, not two. We also see a lot of tear-offs where layered shingles have to come all the way down to the deck so we can inspect the sheathing, replace anything soft, and start clean.

The other Ferndale constant is ice dams. On these low-slope, under-ventilated older roofs, heat escaping the living space melts snow up top; it refreezes at the cold eaves and backs water under the shingles and into the ceilings below. Pairing a proper re-roof with ice-and-water shield at the eaves, better attic ventilation, and seamless gutters that actually carry meltwater away is the difference between a roof that fights winter and one that just leaks through it.

Roof replacement in Ferndale, MI

The roofing Ferndale homes need most

Most Ferndale homes need one of a few things, and we do all of them: full roof replacement and tear-offs on aging bungalows where layered shingles have reached the end; targeted roof repair for storm-damaged, missing, or curling shingles and worn flashing around chimneys, dormers, and old plumbing stacks; and remodel re-roofs that cleanly tie a new addition or raised roofline into the existing roof. Given the neighborhood's ice-dam history, we put real emphasis on the details that protect older roofs through a Michigan winter — ice-and-water shield at the eaves, improved attic ventilation, and seamless gutters sized to move heavy snowmelt and spring rain off the house before it can pool. Everything we install is backed by manufacturer-backed material warranties and our own workmanship guarantee.
