Taylor, Michigan New Roof Construction — OC Preferred Crew — Self-Performs, Doesn’t Sub
New Roof Construction in Taylor, Michigan. OC Preferred crew self-performs tear-off and decking inspection — most builders sub it out to whoever is cheapest. Owens Corning Preferred Contractor since 2011 (top 1% of US roofers, only tier that unlocks the TotalProtection® warranty covering both materials AND workmanship). 6,000+ roofs completed since 1990, Michigan-licensed since 1996, 4.9/5 across 33 verified customer reviews.
A lot of Taylor's split levels between Telegraph Rd and Eureka Rd were built with a low pitch roof section already sitting over the garage, which means new construction here often isn't a clean addition onto a flat roofline, it's extending or replacing a roof that already has an odd pitch built into it from 1948 to 1972. Homeowners near Heritage Park and Southland Center are as likely to be finishing that garage top space into livable square footage as they are to be building a brand new detached garage from scratch. That standard comes straight from Lincoln Park Roofing's in-house crew, on the job since 1990.
Whatever the project, Michigan Residential Building Code applies the same way it would to a full replacement, proper rafter spacing, correct load transfer, and full ice-and-water shield at every valley and penetration. Taylor's Telegraph Rd salt spray and the hail events central Downriver sees more than most surrounding cities make cutting corners on flashing a bad idea here specifically. The NRCA's estimate that up to 47 percent of new roofing gets installed with some kind of error is a number we take seriously on every low pitch tie-in we build.

Written scope & timeline
“Taylor's split levels already have low pitch additions over the garage on a lot of houses, that's just how they were built between 1948 and 1972, so when a homeowner wants to build something new here it's often extending a roofline that's already doing something unusual instead of starting flat. Telegraph Rd salt spray doesn't help matters either. We plan the flashing and the tie-in around that from day one, not after the fact.”

6 New Roof Construction Issues We See Every Week in Taylor
Post-war ranches and split-levels built 1948-1972 with original 3-tab shingles, low-pitch additions over garages, and minimal attic ventilation that traps summer heat. These are the failure modes our crew documents most often on Taylor new roof construction calls:
Home addition roofs
Home addition roofs in Taylor frequently extend the low pitch sections that already sit over the garage on 1948-1972 split levels, which means matching a pitch that's unusual to begin with rather than working off a clean flat roofline.
Detached garage roofs
Detached garages come up often on Taylor's larger lots near Goddard Rd and Northline Rd, usually for homeowners who want a standalone structure instead of finishing the attached low pitch garage top space.
Pole barn and outbuilding roofs
Taylor's lot sizes support pole barns and outbuildings better than some of the denser Downriver cities, and we've framed workshop roofs for homeowners on the larger parcels away from the Telegraph Rd corridor.
Second-story additions
A second-story addition on a Taylor split level has to work around the existing low pitch garage section most of these homes already carry, which changes where the new roof load actually transfers.
Dormer add-ons
Dormers are common on Taylor's original 3-tab split levels, adding headroom to attic space that's often been trapping summer heat since the house was built. One level up from this page is the citywide rundown: Taylor roofing.
ADU and in-law suite roofs
A few Taylor homeowners near Pardee Rd have converted garage or basement space into in-law suites, which means the roof over that space has to meet full residential code, not just get a fresh layer of shingles.
Do you handle new-construction roofs for Taylor additions?
Yes, including the low pitch garage top tie-ins that are common on Taylor's split levels built between 1948 and 1972. We build ground-up new construction roofs on additions, detached garages, pole barns, dormers, and ADUs throughout Taylor, all code-compliant per Michigan Residential Building Code with full ice-and-water shield at valleys and penetrations, installed by our own in-house Owens Corning Preferred crew, 6,000-plus roofs and 35 years, no subcontractors.
New Roof Construction Cost in Taylor, MI (2026)
Most Taylor new roof construction projects cost between $9,500 and $22,000. Single-car detached garage roofs start at $8,000. Timeline: 2-5 days depending on square footage.
New roof construction in Taylor runs $9,500 to $22,000, with a single car detached garage roof starting around $8,000. Because so many Taylor split levels already carry a low pitch section over the garage, extending or replacing that roofline sometimes costs more than a flat roof addition would elsewhere, the pitch itself makes the tie-in more involved. Telegraph Rd's salt spray also means we don't skimp on flashing material here even on a small job. A pole barn or straightforward detached garage stays closer to the low end.
“A verified Taylor customer told us they'd talked to three companies before choosing us for a new garage roof, and what settled it was that our crew actually showed up on the day scheduled and kept the job site clean the whole way through, something the other two quotes hadn't guaranteed. They also said nobody pushed upgraded shingles or extra items they hadn't asked about. Same story we hear from most Taylor customers.”
