The shingle is only one layer of the roof
Drive through almost any Novi subdivision and you’ll see architectural asphalt shingles. They are the right roof for most homes here: they handle snow and wind, they come in colors that fit nearly any brick or siding, and they are far easier to repair than most other materials.
What separates a shingle roof that lasts from one that fails early is everything underneath. Ice and water shield at the eaves and in every valley, so ice dams can’t push water into the house. Drip edge so meltwater lands in the gutter instead of on the fascia. Proper step and counterflashing where the roof meets the walls of a two-story home. And balanced intake and ridge ventilation, so the attic stays cold in winter and doesn’t bake the shingles in summer.
We install Owens Corning shingles, including the Duration and Duration FLEX lines, as part of that full system. The Design EyeQ visualizer lets you see colors on a house like yours, and we provide the exact product and color names your HOA’s architectural review will ask for.

Every layer of a Kincaide shingle roof
Skip one of these and the shingles on top can’t do their job. Here’s what we install and why it matters in Novi.
Architectural shingles
Owens Corning Duration and Duration FLEX lines: thick, dimensional shingles in a wide range of colors.
Ice and water protection
A self-sealing membrane at the eaves and in the valleys, where ice dams and melting snow push water uphill.
Synthetic underlayment
A water-resistant layer over the rest of the decking, the second line of defense if a shingle is lost.
Drip edge and starter
Metal drip edge directs water into the gutter, and a starter strip seals the first course against wind lift.
Intake and ridge vents
Air in at the soffits and out at the ridge keeps the attic cooler in summer and drier in winter.
Flashing and ridge caps
New flashing at walls, chimneys and pipes, finished with hip and ridge shingles that match the field.
Repair, rejuvenate or re-shingle?
Not every tired shingle roof needs to come off. If the damage is limited to a few areas, a repair is the honest answer. If the shingles are drying out and shedding granules but the decking is sound, roof rejuvenation can add years for a fraction of the cost of a new roof.
When the shingles are curling, cracking or leaking in several places, or the decking is soft, it’s time for a new roof. Before you choose a color, you can preview Owens Corning shingles on a photo of your own house with the Design EyeQ visualizer, which helps when an HOA has to approve the color.

“I can’t say enough good things about this company. Scott the owner walked me through the whole process from start to finish. They protected my house with boards during the job and did a fantastic job on clean up! All this and a fair price!”
“Great craftsmanship, Competitive prices gets the job done on time. man of his word! I would recommend him to friends and family.”
Picking a shingle color that passes review
In much of Novi, the color you choose has to work for the neighborhood as well as for you.
Many Novi subdivisions have homeowner associations with architectural review, and roofing is one of the most common changes they look at. Some keep a list of approved colors; others ask to see a sample next to the brick or siding. Getting that approval before the job is scheduled keeps everything on track.
