Dormer and knee-wall leaks
On Cape Cods, the dormer cheeks and the knee walls behind them are the leak points — flashing that’s shifted over sixty years. Common on homes like these, and repairable.

Roof repair in Hazel Park.
Repairs only.
Hazel Park sits right against Warren at Dequindre — postwar Cape Cods and bungalows on tight lots, most of them due for small, precise repairs. Repairs only — no new-roof bids, no tear-off pitch.
What Hazel Park roofs are made of
Hazel Park’s homes are solidly postwar — median built 1955 (Census Reporter, ACS 2020–2024). The Cape Cods put the upstairs bedrooms inside the roof itself, with dormers and knee walls; the older bungalows near downtown and the ranches up north are simpler but just as aged.
What we find here
Three failures we open up most often on homes like these.
Ice dams over bedrooms
When the bedroom ceiling IS the roof, an ice dam doesn’t drip into an attic — it drips on you. We fix the leak path and document what we found.
Tie-ins where additions meet the old roof
Additions grafted onto 1950s roofs fail at the joint. We rebuild the tie-in flashing instead of caulking over it.
