Roof installation in Detroit: what to expect
Roof installation in Detroit and growing suburbs like Canton, Novi and Macomb Township usually means roofing new construction: a new home, an addition, a garage, a porch roof or a dormer. The roofer works from the framing plans, coordinates with the builder on sheathing and flashing at walls and windows, and ties the new roof into any existing one without creating a leak path.
On additions, the transition between old and new roofs is where problems start. Ask how the roofer will match pitch, shingles and flashing, and whether the existing roof near the tie-in needs work first. If you are replacing an existing roof instead, see roof replacement. For the addition itself, compare home addition contractors.
Building soon? Compare Detroit roofing companies early so the roofer can review flashing details with your builder, and see shingle roofing for material choices.
What a proper job includes
- Review of framing, sheathing and roof plans before starting
- Ice and water barrier at eaves and valleys, plus underlayment
- Drip edge, step flashing and counter flashing at walls

- Ventilation matched to the attic or cathedral ceiling design
- Coordination with the builder for inspections
- Cleanup and warranty paperwork

Permits and licensing in Michigan
New construction and additions are covered by the building permit for the project, usually pulled by the general contractor or builder, with inspections scheduled by the local building department. In Detroit that is BSEED. Ask who holds the permit before the roofer starts.
Michigan licenses home roofers through LARA as a Residential Builder or a Maintenance and Alteration Contractor, and roofing is one of the trade categories a Maintenance and Alteration license lists. A license is required when the contract price is above a threshold set by state law, so check the license number on the LARA lookup before you sign.

Common questions
Roof Installation in Detroit: FAQ
Usually the general contractor or builder, since the roof is part of the addition's building permit. Confirm this in writing so inspections are not missed.
For appearance and resale, usually yes. If the existing roof is near the end of its life, re-roofing both at once can give a cleaner result and one warranty.
Once sheathing is installed and inspected where required, roofers can dry the building in quickly. Weather and inspection scheduling set the pace.
The Michigan Residential Code exempts some small one-story detached accessory structures from a building permit. Anything larger needs one, so confirm with your local building department.
Cost depends on roof area and pitch, the roofing material, sheathing and underlayment, tie-ins to an existing roof, flashing at walls and windows, and scheduling with the builder.
