Roof Replacement in
Ecorse, MI

Most Ecorse roof replacements take closer to two days rather than one, mainly because so many of the city's older homes require extra time removing multiple shingle layers and repairing plank decking before new shingles go on. A simpler single layer ranch job can still finish in a single day. Either way, our in-house crew handles the full tear-off, decking repair, and installation without bringing in outside labor.

Roof replacement in Ecorse typically runs $7,000 to $18,000, and because so much of the city's housing stock dates to the early 1900s, Ecorse jobs often land toward the middle or upper end of that range once we account for multiple old shingle layers and plank decking repairs. A newer or simpler roof near the edges of the city can come in lower. We always inspect the attic and decking before giving a final number, since the surface shingles rarely tell the whole story on an Ecorse roof.

Yes. Lincoln Park Roofing has carried a Michigan roofing license since 1996 and full insurance coverage on every job, including work throughout Ecorse. Scott Kincaide started the company in 1990 and has spent 35 years working on Downriver roofs, plenty of them in Ecorse's older riverfront neighborhoods. We never bring in subcontractors, so the same insured, in-house crew handles your entire Ecorse project start to finish.

Yes, every full roof replacement we do in Ecorse gets a permit filed with the city's Building Department before work starts. Given how many Ecorse homes already carry multiple shingle layers, skipping the permit step is exactly the kind of shortcut that causes trouble later during a home sale or insurance claim. We handle the paperwork so Ecorse homeowners don't have to deal with the city directly.

Timing depends on the season, but most Ecorse homeowners get a scheduled inspection within a few days of their first call. Because a lot of Ecorse roofs need a closer look at decking condition before we can quote accurately, we always walk the attic before finalizing a start date. Once approved, most jobs get scheduled within one to two weeks, sooner if there's active leaking or storm damage.

Ecorse roof replacements carry the same 10-year labor warranty we put behind every job, with no ventilation clause that lets us off the hook later, something several competitors quietly build into their lifetime shingle warranties. Shingles themselves are backed by Owens Corning's lifetime warranty, registered in the homeowner's name. Given how many older layers we typically remove on Ecorse homes, we also document the new decking condition so there's a clear record of what's underneath the warranty.

We do. From our Lincoln Park base it's about a nine minute drive up Jefferson Ave into Ecorse, and we also cover River Rouge, Wyandotte, and the rest of Downriver Wayne County. Inside Ecorse we've worked the Jefferson Ave corridor, the Mill St riverfront, and neighborhoods around 5th St and the Civic Center, so we already know the housing stock before we get on the roof.

Look for a company that's used to Ecorse's older housing specifically, since a crew unfamiliar with multi layer plank decking roofs can badly underquote the job. Lincoln Park Roofing has been licensed since 1996, runs an all in-house crew with no subcontractors, and holds Owens Corning Preferred Contractor status.
