Roof repair in Redford.
Repairs only.
Redford Township sits between Livonia and Detroit — postwar ranches, Cape Cods, and a lot of roofs that have been patched more than once. We repair the real entry point at a published flat rate. No new-roof pitch.
What Redford roofs are made of
Much of Redford’s housing stock is mid-century asphalt on simple plans, with chimneys, attic vents, and decades of freeze-thaw. Field shingles often still have life; boots, flashings, and valleys are where leaks start.
What we find here
Three failures we open up most often in Redford.
Chimney step flashing
Brick chimneys are common. Pulled counterflashing leaks into upstairs ceilings long before the field is done.
Wind-lifted tabs on west exposures
Open west winds peel tabs after storms. We swap out the damaged course — not the whole roof.
Where in Redford we work
Neighborhoods off 6 Mile, 7 Mile, Beech Daly, Telegraph, and Grand River — including borders toward Livonia, Dearborn Heights, and Detroit.

Redford FAQ
Roof repair questions we hear in Redford.
Our Redford roof has been tar-patched more than once. Do we need a new roof?
Not necessarily. Repeated tar patches usually sit over one failed boot or flashing. We open the patch, swap out the detail, and photograph what changed. If the field shingles are truly finished, we'll document that and point you to another contractor of your choice — we don't sell new roofs.
Shingles keep lifting on our west-facing slope. What's the fix?
Swap out the damaged course rather than the roof: 1–5 shingles is $395, 6–20 is $550–$850, and loose tabs can be hand-sealed for $425 per slope.
Do you serve the whole township?
Yes — neighborhoods off 6 Mile, 7 Mile, Beech Daly, Telegraph and Grand River, including borders toward Livonia, Dearborn Heights and Detroit. Call (586) 698-7094, Mon–Sat 7am–7pm.
