Roof Replacement in
Detroit, MI

Most Detroit roof replacements take one to two days on a standard ranch or bungalow, and up to three days on a larger two story Colonial or a home with several dormers, the kind you will find in Boston-Edison or Indian Village. Our in-house crew starts around 7am and doesn't leave until they've run a full magnetic nail sweep and walked the property with the homeowner.

Roof replacement in Detroit generally falls between $7,000 and $18,000, depending heavily on the neighborhood and the house. A single story ranch in Grandmont or Rosedale Park sits toward the lower end, while a steep pitched Victorian in Indian Village or a large Boston-Edison Colonial with multiple dormers costs more because of the extra decking, layers, and labor involved. We give every Detroit homeowner a written estimate after inspecting the roof in person, not a phone quote, because the age and layering of Detroit roofs varies so much block to block.

Yes. Lincoln Park Roofing has been Michigan-licensed since 1996 and carries full liability and workers' compensation coverage on every Detroit job. Scott Kincaide founded the company in 1990 and has personally overseen roofing crews across Wayne County for 35 years, including hundreds of jobs inside Detroit's city limits. We never use subcontractors, so the crew that shows up at your Detroit home is the same crew that's insured under our policy, not a third party sub we've never worked with.

Always. Detroit requires a building permit for full roof replacements through the city's Buildings, Safety Engineering & Environmental Department, and we file it before any tear-off begins. Some roofing companies skip this step to save time, but an unpermitted roof can cause problems later if you ever sell the home or file an insurance claim. We handle the BSEED paperwork ourselves so Detroit homeowners don't have to navigate city departments on their own.

Scheduling depends on the season and how many storm claims are ahead of you, but most Detroit homeowners get a scheduled inspection within a few days of calling. Once you approve the estimate, materials typically arrive within a week or two, and the tear-off itself is usually done in one to two days for a standard home. If you're dealing with active leaks or storm damage, we prioritize Detroit calls for a same day inspection.

Every Detroit roof replacement comes with a 10-year labor warranty with no ventilation loophole, meaning it doesn't get voided if your attic setup isn't perfect, which is a condition some competitors quietly bury in their lifetime shingle warranty terms. On top of that, materials are backed by Owens Corning's lifetime shingle warranty, registered directly in your name. Between the two, a Detroit homeowner is covered on both the workmanship and the shingles themselves.

Yes, we work across Wayne County out of our Lincoln Park base, including River Rouge, Dearborn Heights, and Redford, all within about 20 minutes of most Detroit neighborhoods. Inside Detroit itself we've done roofs from Indian Village and Brush Park to Grandmont and Rosedale Park, so whether you're near Woodward Ave or out toward the Redford border, it's territory our crew already knows well.

Start by asking how many years a company has actually operated in Detroit and whether they use their own crew or subcontractors, since that answer tells you a lot about accountability. Lincoln Park Roofing has been licensed in Michigan since 1996, never subcontracts a job, and is an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which unlocks a combined materials and workmanship warranty most Detroit roofers can't offer.
