Roof replacement in Troy, MI
A new roof in Troy comes down to two questions: what goes on top, and what goes underneath. On top, you choose asphalt shingles or metal roofing. Underneath, the full system stays the same either way.
Asphalt shingles or metal roofing
No single material is right for every house. The choice depends on your roof, your budget and the look you want, and we install both.
Nobody here pushes one over the other. At the inspection you'll hear how each would work on your house, and the one you pick goes into the written scope by name.
What goes under the roofing
The layers you never see matter as much as the material on top. Under either one, the system includes:
- Tear-off of old layers as needed
- A check of the roof deck
- Ice and water protection where water can back up
- Underlayment across the whole deck
- Flashing at walls, valleys, vents and pipes
- Attic ventilation, with recommendations if needed
How to compare roof replacement estimates
A good estimate tells you exactly what's going on your roof and how the job will be run. When you lay estimates side by side, ask these four questions of each one:
- Does it list tear-off, the deck check, ice and water protection, underlayment, flashing and ventilation?
- Is the roofing material named?
- Did you see photos of your own roof?
- Does it explain property protection and cleanup?
Ours covers all four. Ask us to walk you through it line by line.
Questions about roofing materials in Troy
What shingles work for a roof in Michigan?
In a Michigan winter, what's under the shingle matters as much as the shingle itself: ice and water protection, underlayment, flashing and ventilation. Pick a shingle that fits your house and budget, and make sure the estimate names it. We install asphalt shingles and go over the options at the inspection.
Should I get Class 3 or Class 4 shingles?
Class 3 and Class 4 are impact-resistance ratings, and Class 4 is the higher one. Whether the higher class is worth it for your house is a good thing to talk through at the inspection. Your insurance company can tell you whether the rating matters for your policy.
Is metal roofing an option for my house?
It can be. Ultra Services Roofing installs metal roofing as well as asphalt shingles, and whether metal fits depends on your roof's shape, your budget and the look you want. We'll go over it with you once we've seen the house.
What roof shingles should I stay away from?
Rather than a list of brands to avoid, look at the estimate. If it doesn't name the material, you don't know what's going on your roof. Ask any roofer which shingle they're quoting and why it suits your house.
How do I spot a roofing scammer?
Be wary of anyone who pressures you to sign on the spot, won't put the scope in writing or can't show you photos of your own roof. Ask where they're based and whether they're licensed and insured. From us, you get photos, a written scope before work starts, and a straight answer if a repair will do.
