Roof inspection in Detroit: what to expect
A roof inspection in Detroit gives you a clear picture of a roof's condition, remaining life and needed repairs. It is common before buying a home, after hail or wind storms, when insurance asks for one, and before deciding between repair and replacement.
Metro Detroit roofs take freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams and summer storms. Inspectors in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties often find curling or granule-worn asphalt shingles, failed chimney and wall flashing, multiple layers of shingles, poor attic ventilation, soft decking and aging flat roofs on porches and additions.
A home inspector may walk the roof or view it by drone or from the ground, depending on pitch and safety. A roofer can go further and quote repairs. For repair work, compare roof repair pros or read about roofers' roof inspections, or add it to a home inspection from Detroit home inspectors.
What a proper job includes
- Roof covering condition, granule loss and damage
- Flashing at chimneys, walls, vents and skylights
- Number of layers where visible
- Gutters, downspouts and drip edge
- Attic check for leaks, decking stains and ventilation
- Photo documentation and estimated remaining life
What drives the price
- Roof size, pitch and height
- Walk-on, drone or ground-level inspection
- Flat or low-slope sections needing closer checks
- Attic access and interior leak tracing
- Storm damage documentation for insurance
- Bundling with a home inspection

Licensing and standards in Michigan
An inspection needs no permit. Re-roofing generally needs a building permit from the local building department (BSEED in Detroit). Michigan licenses home roofers through LARA as a Residential Builder or Maintenance and Alteration Contractor when the job is above a threshold set by state law.
Michigan does not currently issue a state license for home inspectors, so credentials come from training and membership in a national association such as ASHI or InterNACHI, which publish standards of practice.

How to compare quotes
- Ask how the roof will be accessed and whether photos are included.
- Ask for an estimate of remaining life, not just defects.
- For storm claims, ask whether the report documents damage by slope.
- Get repair quotes from licensed roofers you can verify on LARA.
