Complete Roofing Services - frequently asked questions

Question 1

How do I know if I need a roof repair or a full replacement?

Accepted Answer

It comes down to the age of the roof, how widespread the damage is, and the condition of the decking underneath. Isolated damage on a roof with years of life left is usually a repair. Widespread granule loss, multiple leaks, or a roof past roughly twenty years is usually better replaced than patched. We give you the inspection findings either way rather than leading with the bigger job.

Question 2

How long does a roof replacement take in Michigan?

Accepted Answer

Most single-family homes are torn off and re-roofed in one to three days once materials are on site. Weather is the main variable here, and we will not open a roof up if the forecast does not allow closing it the same day.

Question 3

Do you handle storm and hail damage insurance claims?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We document the damage, provide the itemised scope your insurer needs, and can meet the adjuster at the property so nothing is missed in the assessment.

Question 4

Is a roof inspection free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Inspection and a written estimate carry no cost and no obligation across our Southeast Michigan service area.

Question 5

How much does a new roof cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the material chosen, how many existing layers have to come off, and the condition of the decking once it is exposed. We quote in writing after inspecting the roof rather than over the phone, because deck condition cannot be judged from the ground.

Question 6

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Southeast Michigan, including Oakland, Macomb and Genesee counties and the communities around them.

Question 7

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We carry Michigan licensing and liability insurance along with workers compensation cover, and can provide current certificates before work starts.

Question 8

What roofing materials do you install?

Accepted Answer

Asphalt shingle for most residential work, along with metal roofing where longevity and wind resistance matter more, and flat or low-slope systems on commercial buildings. We will explain what actually suits your roof geometry rather than pushing one product.
