Roof replacement

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.

What’s included

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.

Dumpster included

Decking inspection

We photograph the bare deck and replace soft or rotted boards before the new roof goes on.

You see every board

Ice and water shield

A self-sealing membrane at the eaves and valleys, where ice dams and runoff push water uphill.

Built for Michigan winters

Owens Corning shingles

Duration and Duration FLEX architectural shingles, with colors you can preview in Design EyeQ.

Preview colors on your house

Balanced ventilation

Intake at the soffits and exhaust at the ridge keep the attic cooler in summer and drier in winter.

Fewer ice dams

Flashing & drip edge

New drip edge, step flashing and pipe boots, so the details last as long as the shingles.

Where leaks start
Tear-off vs. layover

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.

Replacing roofs in Novi

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.

Roofing questions

Roof replacement questions from Novi homeowners

What to expect before, during and after a new roof.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Novi?
Roof replacements are typically permitted work. Check with the City of Novi building division for the current requirements and inspections for your address before the job is scheduled.
Does my HOA need to approve the new roof?
In many Novi subdivisions, yes, especially if you change the shingle style or color. We provide the Owens Corning product name, color and samples so you can submit them for architectural review.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most homes are torn off and re-roofed in one to two days, depending on size, steepness, layers and weather. We clean up every day and leave a dumpster on site for the debris.
What drives the cost of a new roof?
Roof size and pitch, the number of old layers, how much decking needs replacing, the number of valleys and walls to flash, and the shingle line you choose. The estimate is free and lists each part of the job.
Can you install a new roof over my old one?
We recommend a full tear-off. It lets us see and fix the decking, install ice and water shield properly and avoid the extra weight and heat of a second layer.
Is financing available?
Yes. Qualified homeowners can get 25 months same-as-cash on a full roof replacement with approved credit, and credit scores as low as 550 are considered.
