Roof Replacement Experts Serving Westland, Michigan
Lincoln Park Roofing is an Owens Corning Preferred roofer delivering roof replacement in Westland, MI — 6,000+ roofs completed in 35 years, and most Westland roof replacement projects are booked within 5 business days.
Second largest city in Wayne County after Detroit, and the roofs match the scale. Subdivisions east of Wayne Rd and Newburgh Rd went up fast between the early 1960s and mid 1980s, filling in with ranches, tri levels, and two story Colonials on tight, uniform lots. Those roofs carry second generation architectural shingles now, most of them somewhere between eighteen and twenty five years old, which puts a large share of Westland into the replacement window at roughly the same time. Every job traces back to the same in-house crew Lincoln Park Roofing has run since 1990.
Westland's Building Department requires a permit before any full tear off begins, and the inspection checks decking condition, underlayment, and attic ventilation against Michigan Residential Building Code. That last piece matters more than most homeowners realize. Nationally, the NRCA attributes almost half of shingle failures to installation error rather than the shingle product itself, and a hurried replacement done in a subdivision originally built for speed is exactly where that shows up.

“Westland is Wayne County's second biggest city and it shows on our schedule, we're out there constantly. What's interesting is how uniform the roofs are. Whole streets off Wayne Rd and Newburgh Rd got built the same year, so when one roof in a subdivision starts failing, the neighbors are usually right behind it. I tell people that if your neighbor just replaced their roof, it might be worth getting yours looked at too.”

6 Roof Replacement Issues We See Every Week in Westland
Mid-century ranches, tri-levels, and 2-story Colonials built 1962-1985 carrying second-generation architectural shingles now 18-25 years old and entering replacement window. These are the failure modes our crew documents most often on Westland roof replacement calls:
Roofs 20+ years old
Whole blocks in the Hawthorne Valley and Wildwood subdivisions were roofed within a year or two of each other in the 1960s and 70s, so entire streets are hitting the twenty year mark on the same shingles at nearly the same time.
Widespread granule loss
Drive down Cherry Hill or Warren Rd after a dry spell and you can see granule buildup collecting at the curb from roofs shedding their surface layer.
Multiple active leaks
In the Norwayne Historic District, some of the smaller postwar homes have been patched at the same two or three spots so many times that the decking underneath has started to give out.
Inadequate attic ventilation
A lot of the tri level homes near Joy Rd and Merriman were built with soffit vents but no ridge vent to match, so hot air gets trapped instead of escaping, and that heat cooks the shingles from underneath. Details on the other trades we run locally are grouped in one place: our full Westland service lineup.
Sagging rooflines or deck rot
On the two story Colonials near Glenwood and Cherry Hill, a sagging ridge line is easy to miss from the street. It usually means the decking underneath has been absorbing moisture for years.
Insurance-approved full replacements
Storms coming off the open fields west of Wayne Rd have totaled more than a few Westland roofs, and once the insurance company approves full replacement value, we handle the paperwork so the homeowner deals with us, not three different companies.
How long does a full roof replacement take in Westland?
Most Westland ranches and tri levels are a one day replacement for our crew. Two story Colonials, especially ones near Cherry Hill or Warren Rd with dormers or extra roof planes, typically take two days. Because entire Westland subdivisions were built around the same time, we often end up doing several roofs on the same street within a season, which keeps our crew efficient and keeps your project on schedule.
Roof Replacement Cost in Westland, MI (2026)
Most Westland roof replacement projects cost between $8,000 and $18,000. Smaller ranch-style replacements start at $7,000. Timeline: 1-3 days.
Full roof replacement across Westland typically runs eight thousand to eighteen thousand dollars, with smaller ranch style jobs starting near seven thousand. Because so much of the housing stock here went up in the same twenty year window, cost usually comes down to layer count and decking condition more than anything else. A single layer ranch roof in good shape is a straightforward, lower cost job. A two story Colonial with a second layer of shingles and soft decking underneath runs toward the top of that range.
“A Westland homeowner near the Wildwood subdivision compared three roofing companies before picking us, and what made the decision easy afterward, based on the review, was showing up exactly when scheduled and finishing without trying to add work that wasn't part of the original quote. Straightforward crew, no pressure, roof done on the day promised.”
