Price

What drives the cost of flat roofing in Dearborn

  • Membrane type: EPDM, TPO or modified bitumen
  • Roof size, access and height
  • Wet insulation or rotted deck to replace
  • Drainage fixes such as tapered insulation or new drains
  • Parapet walls, penetrations and rooftop equipment
  • Tear-off of old built-up or multiple layers
  • The age of the home: the typical Dearborn home was built around 1952, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Dearborn

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Dearborn was built around 1952. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

71% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Dearborn building department before work starts.

How to compare flat roofing quotes

  • Ask each roofer which membrane they recommend and why for your roof.
  • Ask how they will fix ponding, not just replace the membrane.
  • Confirm tear-off versus recover and how wet insulation is handled.
  • Check the license on the LARA lookup.
  • Compare warranty length and whether it is from the roofer, the manufacturer, or both.
