Roof repair in Detroit.
Repairs only.
Detroit’s east and northeast side — from Regent Park and Osborn down through East English Village and Morningside — has some of the most solid older housing in Metro Detroit: brick Tudors, Cape Cods, ranches, and colonials that deserve repair, not a new-roof sales pitch. Repairs only — no new-roof bids, no tear-off pitch.
What east-side Detroit roofs are made of
Detroit’s housing is old — citywide median built 1947 (Census Reporter, ACS 2020–2024). The northeast side has brick ranches, bungalows, and colonials; East English Village and Morningside have brick Tudors and Cape Cods with steep, complex rooflines. Age plus complexity is exactly where small, precise repair work matters most.
What we find here
Three failures we open up most often on homes like these.
Chimney leaks on old brick
Seventy-year-old brick chimneys with original flashing are a recurring leak source. We rebuild the flashing and repoint failing joints with full photo documentation.
Flat garage and porch roofs
The flat or low-slope roofs over garages and porches age differently from the main roof and get ignored until they leak. We repair them at flat published prices.
Where on the east side we work
Regent Park and Osborn near 8 Mile, Gratiot and Kelly Road, East English Village, and Morningside.
We're a service-area business, so there's no office for you to drive to — we come to the house. If water is actively coming in, emergency tarping is available — call (586) 698-7094.
Every repair in Detroit carries the same terms as everywhere else we work: a flat price quoted before work starts, a photo report of the finished job, and a written warranty on the final paid invoice — issued after payment is paid in full and cleared — one year on spot repairs, three years on slope work, five on flashing.
