Complete Roof Replacement for Lincoln Park Homeowners
When your roof has reached the end of its useful life, patching and restoring old shingles may no longer be enough. Lincoln Park Roofing specializes in full roof replacement, giving your Lincoln Park home a brand-new protective system designed to handle Michigan's toughest weather—heavy snow loads, ice dams, driving rain, and high winds that roll through the Downriver area every season.
Official 2026 Michigan Residential Building Code requirements ensure that every roof replacement in Lincoln Park meets strict structural and safety standards. Our GAF-certified crews follow these codes precisely, installing proper ice & water shield along eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the entire deck, and balanced ridge and soffit ventilation that keeps attic temperatures in check year-round.

Our Full Tear-Off & Replacement Process
Every roof replacement we perform in Lincoln Park starts with a complete tear-off down to the decking. This allows us to inspect the plywood sheathing for rot, water damage, or structural issues that hide beneath old layers of shingles. Homes near Council Point Park and the Lincoln Park Historical Museum—many built in the 1940s through 1970s—often have original decking that needs targeted repairs before new materials go on. If you need certified roof repair instead of a full replacement, we can determine the right approach during our free inspection.
After decking verification, we install ice & water shield membrane along all eaves, valleys, and penetration points—critical protection in Michigan where ice dams are a recurring threat. A high-performance synthetic underlayment covers the remaining deck surface, creating a secondary water barrier beneath your shingles. We then install starter strip, GAF architectural shingles with proper offset patterns, and finish with ridge cap ventilation for balanced airflow. If recent storms caused the damage that led to your replacement, we also provide storm damage help and can guide you through the insurance claim process.
How Long Does a Roof Replacement Take in Michigan?
Most residential roof replacements in Lincoln Park take one to three days depending on roof size, weather conditions, and crew availability. Michigan spring and summer offer the best scheduling windows, though experienced crews can install in cooler months when conditions allow safe, quality workmanship on your home.
Shingle Comparison: 3-Tab vs. Architectural vs. Designer
Choosing the right shingle is one of the biggest decisions during a roof replacement. Here is how the three most common options compare for Lincoln Park homes.
| Shingle Type | Wind Rating | Lifespan | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Tab | 60–70 mph | 15–20 years | Budget-friendly projects, rental properties, and basic coverage needs. |
| Architectural (Dimensional) | 110–130 mph | 25–30 years | Most Lincoln Park homes—excellent durability, clean appearance, strong warranty. |
| Designer (Premium) | 130+ mph | 30–50 years | Maximum curb appeal and longevity—ideal for homeowners planning to stay long-term. |
We recommend GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles for most Downriver homeowners. They deliver the best balance of cost, performance, and warranty protection for Michigan conditions.
"We had our entire roof replaced after the windstorm last fall. The crew showed up on time, tore everything off, and had the new GAF shingles installed in two days. Our house is right off the Fort Street corridor near Southfield Rd, and they even worked around the tight driveway without damaging the landscaping. Scott explained every step and the final walkthrough was thorough. Highly recommend Lincoln Park Roofing."
