Trusted Roofing Company Serving Inkster, Michigan
Driving down Michigan Ave or cutting through the Cherry Hill area, you'll notice that Inkster's housing stock is almost entirely post-war bungalows and small ranches — most of them built between 1942 and 1958 with original wood plank decking that's now pushing 70 to 80 years old. Multiple generations of re-roofing mean a lot of Inkster homes are carrying two or three shingle layers on top of that aging wood, which creates real problems when ice dams form on the low-pitch rooflines every winter. Lincoln Park Roofing has been working in Inkster for decades, and we know exactly what to expect when we pull the first layer back.
Official 2026 Michigan Residential Building Code compliance is standard on every Inkster project. Many Inkster homes were built before modern ventilation requirements existed, so we upgrade attic airflow, add proper ice-and-water shield, and install drip edge on every Inkster roof we touch. It's not optional — it's how we build.

Aging Roofs on Mid-Century Inkster Homes: What to Watch For
Most Inkster homes were built between 1948 and 1965. That means original roof decking is often 1x6 plank sheathing instead of modern plywood, and many Inkster attics have zero soffit ventilation. When we do an Inkster roof replacement, we check the decking for soft spots, add proper ventilation if it's missing, and install everything to current code. Inkster homeowners who skip the ventilation upgrade end up with ice dam problems every winter — we've seen it hundreds of times along Michigan Ave and Middlebelt Rd. If you need a stop the leak fast fix or a full Inkster roof replacement, we'll tell you what actually needs doing.

"Our Inkster ranch off Middlebelt had three layers of shingles — nobody else wanted to touch it. Lincoln Park Roofing stripped it all, replaced some bad decking, and installed a beautiful new roof in two days. They were $1,200 less than the other quote we got. Would use them again in Inkster without thinking twice."

What to Expect When You Hire Us in Inkster
1) Inspection & honest advice
A trained crew member visits your Inkster home, inspects the full roof system from ridge to fascia, and gives you honest findings — including how many shingle layers are present and whether the wood decking underneath is still sound.
2) Clear estimate & timeline
Before anything is scheduled, you'll receive a written estimate covering materials, labor, and timeline specific to your Inkster home — no vague ranges, no surprises later.
3) Professional installation
Our crew tears off all existing layers down to the deck, replaces any rotted plank sections, then installs ice-and-water shield along the eaves — critical on Inkster's low-pitch bungalow rooflines where ice dams form — followed by synthetic underlayment, new step and pipe flashing, and properly balanced attic ventilation.
4) Thorough cleanup
Every nail, shingle scrap, and packaging is cleared from your Inkster property, a magnetic roller covers the driveway and lawn for hidden fasteners, and Scott's team does a final walkthrough with you before leaving.
