Roof Replacement in
Grosse Ile, MI

A standard Grosse Ile roof replacement takes one to two days, though homes with a flat roof addition or extensive flashing and gutter work along the waterfront can run closer to three. Island properties often need extra attention to corrosion resistant materials given the constant wind and humidity off the water. Our in-house crew handles the entire property and finishes with a full magnetic nail sweep.

Roof replacement on Grosse Ile typically runs $7,000 to $18,000, with island and waterfront properties often landing toward the higher end because of extra corrosion resistant flashing and gutter capacity needed to handle wind and runoff off the water. A more modest inland facing home can price lower. We inspect any flat roof additions separately from the main pitch before giving a Grosse Ile homeowner a final number.

Yes. Lincoln Park Roofing has been Michigan-licensed since 1996, and every job we do on Grosse Ile is fully insured. Scott Kincaide has run the company since 1990, with 35 years working across Downriver's waterfront and inland housing alike, including plenty of island jobs here. We never bring in outside subcontractors, so the crew on your roof is the same crew covered under our policy.

Yes, Grosse Ile Township requires a building permit for full roof replacements under Michigan Residential Building Code, and we file that before starting any tear-off. Township inspectors here tend to look closely at flashing and drainage given the waterfront setting, so we make sure that work is documented properly from the start rather than dealing with it after the fact.

Most Grosse Ile homeowners get a scheduled inspection within a few days of calling, though we usually plan extra time to walk any flat roof additions or waterfront flashing separately from the main roof. Once approved, standard jobs typically start within one to two weeks. Storm damaged roofs from wind off the river or Lake Erie get priority scheduling.

Grosse Ile roofs get the same 10-year labor warranty as every job we run, with no ventilation loophole hidden in the fine print. Shingles are backed by Owens Corning's lifetime warranty in the homeowner's name. Because flashing and fasteners take more abuse from wind and humidity out here, we pay closer attention to those details on island jobs so the warranty holds up over time.

Yes, we're based in Lincoln Park, about 18 minutes from Grosse Ile via I-75 and Grosse Ile Parkway, and we also cover Trenton, Riverview, and Wyandotte nearby. On the island itself we've worked East River Rd, West River Rd, the Meridian Rd corridor, and neighborhoods near Hennepin Point and Elba Island, so the waterfront details are familiar to our crew.

Look for a roofer who's actually handled waterfront and flat roof addition work before, since a crew used only to standard subdivision roofs can miss corrosion issues specific to an island property. Lincoln Park Roofing has been licensed since 1996, runs its own in-house crew, and holds Owens Corning Preferred Contractor status.
