Roof Replacement in
Southgate, MI

Most Southgate roof replacements finish in a single day for a standard brick ranch, though homes needing a tear-off of a second shingle layer, or decking replacement, can stretch to two days. Bi-levels and tri-levels with more roof planes near Reaume Pkwy sometimes take the full two to three days. The crew starts early each morning and finishes with a magnetic nail sweep before walking the homeowner through the completed roof.

Southgate roof replacements typically run $8,000 to $18,000, with smaller single layer ranches starting closer to $7,000. Many Southgate homes have already been reroofed once, so a tear-off of the second shingle layer and any decking replacement usually account for the higher end of that range. We give an exact number after walking the roof in person, since Southgate's midcentury housing stock varies a lot from block to block.

Yes, Lincoln Park Roofing carries full Michigan licensing, dating back to 1996, along with liability and workers' compensation insurance on every Southgate job. The company has operated in the area since 1990 under owner Scott Kincaide, and we bring documentation of both license and insurance to every Southgate estimate and job site, no exceptions.

Southgate requires a building permit for full roof replacements under Wayne County code, and we pull that permit and coordinate the required inspection as part of the job rather than leaving it for the homeowner to sort out. That paperwork gets filed before work starts, and the inspection happens after the tear-off and reinstall are complete, so the homeowner has a documented, roof on record that is up to code with the city.

Timing depends on the season and current schedule, but most Southgate homeowners are on the calendar within one to two weeks of their estimate. If there's active leaking or storm damage, we move faster, since Lincoln Park Roofing runs 24/7 emergency response and can get a temporary tarp on a Southgate roof the same day a call comes in, then schedule the full replacement right behind it.

Southgate replacements come with a 10-year labor warranty that has no ventilation loophole built into the fine print, so it holds up even if a homeowner's attic setup isn't perfect. The Owens Corning shingles themselves carry a lifetime manufacturer warranty registered in the homeowner's name, which means Southgate customers get coverage on both the installation and the materials for years after the job is done.

Yes, we cover all of Southgate, from the Trenton Rd corridor and Eureka Rd / Reaume area to the Fort St and Northline Rd neighborhoods, plus nearby Wyandotte, Allen Park, and Riverview. Southgate is about 10 minutes from our Lincoln Park base via Fort St, so scheduling across the whole city stays tight.

Look for a roofer who explains what's happening under the shingles, not just the surface damage, since a lot of Southgate homes are on their second shingle layer and the real story is in the decking. Lincoln Park Roofing has worked Southgate's Trenton Rd corridor and surrounding neighborhoods since 1990, runs its own in-house crew, and offers Service Finance financing options.
