Novi homeowners. A roofer, not a call center, gets back to you.
A new roof built for Novi winters
Many Novi homes were built between the 1980s and the 2000s, which puts a lot of them on the original roof or a second one that is wearing out. The signs are easy to spot from the driveway: curling tabs, bare patches where granules have washed off, and shingles missing after the last windstorm.
A replacement is the chance to fix what a re-roof over the top would hide. We tear off down to the decking, replace soft or delaminated boards and photograph them so you know exactly what was found. Then we install the parts that make a roof work in Michigan: ice and water shield at the eaves and in the valleys, new drip edge, synthetic underlayment, fresh flashing at walls and chimneys, and balanced intake and ridge ventilation.
On top go Owens Corning shingles, including the Duration and Duration FLEX lines. If your neighborhood has an HOA, we help you choose a color that will pass architectural review. Boards protect the siding and landscaping, a dumpster is included, and you get a briefing at the end of each day.

Every layer of your new roof
A complete roof replacement covers far more than shingles.
Full tear-off
Old shingles and underlayment come off to the decking so nothing is hidden under the new roof.
Decking inspection
We photograph the bare deck and replace soft or rotted boards before the new roof goes on.
Ice and water shield
A self-sealing membrane at the eaves and valleys, where ice dams and runoff push water uphill.
Owens Corning shingles
Duration and Duration FLEX architectural shingles, with colors you can preview in Design EyeQ.
Balanced ventilation
Intake at the soffits and exhaust at the ridge keep the attic cooler in summer and drier in winter.
Flashing & drip edge
New drip edge, step flashing and pipe boots, so the details last as long as the shingles.
Why we recommend a full tear-off
A layover puts new shingles on top of the old layer. It skips the tear-off, but it also hides the decking, adds weight to the roof under a Michigan snow load, and makes it hard to install ice and water shield and flashing properly. Shingles laid over an uneven old roof can also show every lump.
A tear-off costs more up front because of the labor and disposal, but you get a look at the decking, a clean surface for every layer of the system, and only one layer to remove next time. Building codes also limit how many layers a roof can have.
Cost is driven by the roof’s size, pitch, number of existing layers and how much decking needs replacing. Qualified homeowners can spread it out with 25 months same-as-cash. See financing details.
| Tear-off | Layover | |
|---|---|---|
| Decking | Inspected, repaired | Hidden |
| Ice and water shield | On the deck | Limited |
| Roof weight | One layer | Two layers |
| Flashing | All new | Often reused |
| Next reroof | One layer off | Two layers off |

What homeowners say about their new roof
Real reviews from homeowners across Metro Detroit.

The second-roof years for Novi subdivisions
A big share of Novi’s housing is reaching the age when whole streets replace their roofs within a few years of each other.
When a subdivision goes up over a few years, its roofs tend to wear out over a few years too. In Novi that is happening across many neighborhoods built from the 1980s through the 2000s. We plan each tear-off around the realities of these streets: driveway space for the dumpster, neighbors close by, landscaping right up to the foundation, and HOA rules about colors and work hours.
HOA approval first
We give you the product and color details your architectural review committee needs before we schedule.
Close neighbors
Boards, tarps and magnetic sweeps keep debris on your lot and off the street and the house next door.
Season planning
Spring through fall is ideal; we watch the forecast so the roof is never left open to a storm.
