When to Hire a Roofer

Emergency service available in most areas

You find water stains on your ceiling or walls, which often means a roof leak has been developing for weeks
Shingles are curling, cracking, missing, or you find granules accumulating in your gutters
Your roof is 20+ years old and you're seeing signs of wear — most asphalt shingle roofs last 20–30 years
A hailstorm or severe wind event hit your area and you need a professional damage assessment

What to Look For

Licensed, bonded, and insured with proof of general liability and workers' comp — roofing is one of the most dangerous trades
Manufacturer certification (GAF Master Elite, CertainTeed SELECT, Owens Corning Preferred) which enables extended warranty coverage
Local reputation with verifiable references — avoid storm chasers who blow through town after hail events
Written scope of work that specifies materials, underlayment type, flashing details, and cleanup procedures

Common Roofer Problems in Michigan

Shingle deterioration from UV exposure and weather cycling — the most common reason roofs fail

Flashing failures around chimneys, skylights, and vents that allow water intrusion at seams

Ice dams in cold climates that force water under shingles and into your attic

Poor attic ventilation that causes heat buildup, accelerating shingle aging and creating moisture problems

Storm damage from hail, wind, and falling debris that may not be visible from the ground

Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Roofer in Michigan

Will you remove the existing shingles down to the deck, or install over the old layer?

Layering shingles over old ones is cheaper but hides underlying damage, adds weight to your roof structure, and voids most manufacturer warranties. A full tear-off is almost always the better investment.

What underlayment and flashing materials will you use?

Cheap synthetic underlayment and reused flashing are where corners get cut. Ice and water shield in valleys and around penetrations is critical for leak prevention.

Do you handle the insurance claim process, and what's your experience with adjusters?

If the work is storm-related, an experienced roofer can document damage properly and work with your adjuster. But be wary of roofers who want to sign an Assignment of Benefits (AOB) — this gives them control of your insurance claim.

What warranty do I get — from both you and the manufacturer?

You should get a workmanship warranty from the roofer (2–10 years) plus a manufacturer warranty on materials (25–50 years). Manufacturer-certified contractors can often offer enhanced coverage.

How will you protect my landscaping, siding, and property during the job?

Roof replacement creates a lot of debris. Professional roofers use tarps, magnetic nail sweepers, and dump trailers. Ask about their cleanup process before signing anything.

Red Flags When Hiring a Roofer

  • Asks you to pay the full amount before work begins — a deposit of 25–33% is reasonable, full payment up front is not
  • Only provides a verbal estimate with no written scope of work or contract
  • Pressures you to sign immediately or claims a 'today only' discount — legitimate contractors give you time to decide
  • Has no local business address, just a phone number and a truck — storm chasers are nearly impossible to track down if something goes wrong

DIY vs Hiring a Professional Roofer

You can safely clean gutters, trim overhanging branches, and do a visual inspection from the ground with binoculars. Minor repairs like replacing a single shingle on a low-slope roof are possible for handy homeowners. But anything involving flashing, valleys, multiple leak points, or working on a steep pitch should be left to professionals. Falls from roofs are a leading cause of home injury deaths, and improper repairs often make leaks worse.

Roofer Safety Tips

  • Never walk on a wet, icy, or steeply pitched roof — roofers use specialized safety harnesses and equipment for good reason
  • Be extremely cautious of storm chasers who knock on your door offering free inspections after severe weather — many do shoddy work and disappear
  • Ensure any roofer working on your home has workers' compensation insurance — if an uninsured worker falls on your property, you could be liable

Best Time to Hire a Roofer in Michigan

Roofers are busiest from late spring through early fall and immediately after major storm events. If your roof needs non-emergency replacement, scheduling in late winter or early spring often means shorter wait times and sometimes off-season pricing. After a hailstorm, wait a few days before calling — reputable local roofers get buried with calls while storm chasers flood the area within hours.

Roofer Licensing in Michigan

Roofing contractor licensing varies significantly by state. Some states (like Florida and California) require specific roofing contractor licenses, while others include it under a general contractor license. Many states have no licensing requirement at all, making insurance verification and references even more critical. Check your state's contractor licensing board.
