Roof repair in Plymouth.
Repairs only.
Plymouth mixes downtown-adjacent older homes with township subdivisions toward Canton and Northville. We repair leaks at published flat rates — with no sales pitch attached to the visit.
What Plymouth roofs are made of
Older Plymouth streets carry complex roofs with dormers and tight valleys; the township side has more production colonials with predictable boot and flashing failures. Both are repair territory when the field shingles still hold.
What we find here
Three failures we open up most often in Plymouth.
Aging boots on compact roofs
Smaller footprints still pack multiple vents. One failed boot is a $395 line item.
Wind-lifted tabs after storms
Open exposures toward the west take wind. We swap out the damaged course and seal the surrounding field — documented with photos.
Repairs by situation
Plymouth repair jobs, and where to read more.
Active leak
Ask about same-week emergency tarping — call to check availability. Then the permanent repair is scheduled separately.
Garage roofs and additions
Lower roofs and garage tie-ins leak where they meet a wall. See garage roof repair.
Slate or tile on an older home
Specialty materials are repaired and quoted individually. See tile and slate roof repair.
Where in Plymouth we work
Downtown Plymouth, Old Village edges, and Plymouth Township corridors off Ann Arbor Road, Joy, and Sheldon — including borders toward Canton and Northville.
We’re a service-area crew, so we come to the house. Active leaks get priority — call to check same-week availability for emergency tarping.
Permits and repairs
Standard repairs are usually simpler than a permitted full project. We’ll flag anything that changes that before work begins.
Same company terms: flat price, photo report, written warranty on the invoice.
Plymouth FAQ
Roof repair questions we hear in Plymouth.
Why do the closets or soffits under our dormers get water stains?
Second-story dormers shed water onto lower roofs, and failed step flashing at the dormer sidewall is a common source. A partial step flashing repair is $650–$950, rebuilt with woven metal — not caulk. See flashing repair.
Wind lifted some shingles on our Plymouth roof. Is that an insurance claim or a repair?
That's your call with your insurer — we don't decide coverage. We can repair 1–5 shingles for $395 or hand-seal loose tabs for $425 per slope, and we can provide a dated photo set and written scope for your adjuster — quoted before work begins, with your agreement.
Do you work in both the City of Plymouth and Plymouth Township?
Yes — downtown Plymouth, the Old Village edges, and township corridors off Ann Arbor Road, Joy and Sheldon, including borders toward Canton and Northville.
We have a ceiling stain in our Plymouth home. Can you tell if it’s the roof from a photo?
A photo helps, but we don’t diagnose a roof remotely — the cause is confirmed in person. Contact us for a free repair estimate; we’ll review the issue and explain the next step. See ceiling stain: what it usually means.
Can you put a tarp on a leaking roof in Plymouth?
Yes, when water is actively coming in. Call (586) 698-7094 to check same-week availability; arrival time and any emergency or after-hours charge are confirmed with you for approval before dispatch. See emergency tarping.
Do you repair garage roofs and roofs with tile or slate in Plymouth?
Yes, on residential properties. Garage roofs are covered on our garage roof repair page. Slate and tile are repaired and quoted individually — see tile and slate roof repair.
