Roof Repair in Metro Detroit — Leaks Found and Fixed Right
Missing shingles or a spreading ceiling stain? We find the leak and fix it right across Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties.

A stain that keeps growing on the ceiling. Shingles scattered across the lawn after a windstorm. A drip that only shows up in a hard rain. These are the roof problems we fix every week for homeowners across metro Detroit — and we start by finding the real source, not just covering the symptom.
The Roof Problems We Fix Most
Missing shingles after that last windstorm? A ceiling stain that keeps spreading? Most of what we do is exactly this — locating the real source of a leak and fixing it before it turns into rotted decking or ruined drywall. These are the everyday repairs that keep metro Detroit roofs watertight through every season, and they're the bread and butter of what we do.
- Missing, cracked, curled, or wind-lifted asphalt shingles
- Flashing repair around chimneys, valleys, and step and sidewall joints
- Cracked or aged pipe boots and vent boots
- Nail pops and loose or backed-out fasteners
- Small storm damage from spring wind and hail
- Emergency tarping during business hours to stop an active leak
Where Metro Detroit Roofs Really Leak
Roofs rarely leak where you see the stain — water travels along the deck and framing before it finally drips through the ceiling. In Michigan, our freeze-thaw winters and wet springs stress the same weak points year after year, so knowing where to look is half the job. That's why a careful inspection beats a quick patch every time, and why we trace a leak back to its origin instead of guessing.
- Ice dams that back meltwater up under shingles along the eaves
- Failed or lifted flashing at chimneys, walls, and valleys
- Aged pipe boots that crack and split after years of UV and cold
- Clogged or debris-packed valleys that overflow in heavy rain
- Worn sealant and open nail holes around vents and penetrations
- Lake-effect moisture and humid summers that speed up shingle aging
Repair or Replace? We Tell You Straight
Not every leak means you need a new roof — and we'll never tell you it does when a repair will do. But we also won't patch a roof that's past saving just to make a sale and leave you calling us back next spring. After we inspect, we show you photos of what we found and give you the honest call, so the decision is yours and it's an informed one.
- A repair usually makes sense on a newer roof with an isolated leak
- One failed flashing joint or a handful of lifted shingles is a quick fix
- Plan for replacement when leaks start showing up in several spots at once
- Widespread granule loss, curling, or soft, spongy decking points to end of life
- Near the end of its lifespan, repeated repairs cost more than they save

Roof Repair — FAQs
How much does roof repair cost in metro Detroit?
It depends on what's wrong. The leak source, the roof pitch, how easy the spot is to reach, and the materials needed all shape the price, and larger flashing or storm repairs involve more work than a few loose shingles. Every roof is different, so we inspect yours with no pressure and give you a written price before any work starts. Call (313) 236-4558 for a price on your job.
How soon can you come out to look at my roof?
We schedule most repair visits within a few business days, and same-day service is sometimes possible when our schedule allows. Our hours are Sunday through Thursday, 9am to 5pm, and Friday morning. If you have an active leak, reach out right away and we'll prioritize getting you on the calendar and stopping the water.
Do I need a repair or a full roof replacement?
It depends on your roof's age and how widespread the damage is. A newer roof with one bad flashing joint or a few wind-lifted shingles is usually a straightforward repair. An aging roof with multiple leaks, heavy granule loss, or rotted decking is often smarter to replace. We inspect, show you photos, and tell you straight.
My roof is leaking right now — what should I do?
First, stay safe and stay off the roof. Inside, move furniture aside and put a bucket under the drip. If a ceiling bulge is holding water, a small pinhole from below can relieve the pressure. Then get in touch so we can find the source and tarp it during business hours to stop the leak.
Will a repair match my existing shingles?
We do our best to match your existing shingle color and profile, and on most roofs the repaired area blends in well. Keep in mind that older shingles fade over time, so a flawless match isn't always possible. When we inspect your roof we'll set honest expectations and show you what the finished repair will look like.
Can you help with storm damage and my insurance claim?
Yes. For wind or hail damage, we document everything with photos and can work with your insurance adjuster through the claims process. To be clear, your deductible is your responsibility, and we never promise that insurance will pay for the whole job. We'll give you an honest assessment of whether filing a claim makes sense for your situation.
