Roof replacement in Macomb County and Metro Detroit

When repairs stop making sense, a new roof should mean the whole system, not just a fresh layer of shingles. Every roof replacement from Ultra Services Roofing covers tear-off as needed, a deck check, ice and water protection, underlayment, flashing and ventilation.

You can choose asphalt shingles or metal roofing. Our office is in Sterling Heights, and the free inspection that starts every job is available to homes and businesses across Macomb County and Metro Detroit.

Signs it's time to talk about a new roof

If your roof keeps leaking after repairs, or shows wear in several places at once, have it inspected to see whether replacement makes more sense. None of these signs decides it on its own, but each one is a good reason to get the roof looked at:

  • Water stains on ceilings or in the attic
  • Missing shingles in more than one spot
  • Shingle granules collecting in the gutters
  • Sagging spots on the roof
  • Leaks that come back after a repair

After the inspection, you'll get photos and a straight answer on whether a repair still fits. If it does, that's what we'll recommend.

What a full roof replacement includes

A full roof replacement covers every layer that keeps water out, from the deck up. Here's what each part does and why it's in the scope.

Tear-off, as needed

Old layers come off when the job calls for it, so the new roof goes onto a surface that can actually be seen and checked. Your estimate spells out whether yours needs a tear-off.

A deck check

The deck is the wood surface the roof is fastened to. It gets checked before new materials go down, and you'll see what we find.

Ice and water protection and underlayment

Underlayment is the layer between the deck and the shingles. Ice and water protection is a sealed layer that goes where the roof needs it, in places like valleys where water collects.

Flashing

New flashing goes in at walls, chimneys and around every pipe and vent. Those joints are where water tries to get in, so they're built into the new system.

Ventilation

How the attic breathes affects the roof above it, so ventilation is part of the scope, not an add-on. If a change would help, the estimate says what it is and why.

Asphalt shingles or metal roofing

Ultra Services Roofing installs both asphalt shingles and metal roofing, and the right pick depends on the house, the look you want and your budget. During the inspection, we'll talk through both. The estimate names the material you choose.

How we protect the rest of your property

A tear-off is messy work, so your yard, windows and driveway get covered before it starts. Here's what that looks like:

  • Tarps over landscaping, plants and garden beds
  • Covers on windows and siding
  • Protective cover over the driveway
  • An organized jobsite from start to finish

Cleanup and the final walkthrough

A replacement isn't finished until the yard is clean and you've seen the roof. Once it's on, a magnetic nail sweep picks up stray nails and the old materials get hauled away. Then we walk the job with you.

Replacing a roof after storm damage

If a storm is the reason you need a new roof, get the damage documented before the old roof comes off. We photograph it first so you have it for your insurance company.Your insurance company decides what's covered, and our storm damage roof repair page explains how the documentation works.

Roof replacement questions

How do I know if my roof needs to be replaced?

The clearest sign is wear or damage spread across the roof instead of sitting in one spot. That means missing shingles in several areas, granules piling up in the gutters, sagging, or leaks that come back after repairs. A free inspection with photos gives you a clear answer, and if a repair will still do the job, that's what you'll hear first.

Is my roof too old to repair?

Age alone doesn't decide it. Condition does. An older roof with one bad spot can still be a good candidate for repair, while a roof with wear everywhere may not be worth patching. The inspection photos show which one you have, and the written recommendation explains why.

Can you put new shingles over old shingles?

On our jobs, old layers come off as needed, because a tear-off is the only way to check the deck before new materials go down. Your estimate says plainly whether your roof needs one.

How much does a new roof cost?

Price depends on the size and shape of the roof, how many layers have to come off, and whether you choose asphalt shingles or metal. Until someone has measured the roof, any number is a guess. The inspection is free, and the estimate puts the full scope in writing.

Do you install metal roofs?

Yes. Metal roofing and asphalt shingles are both options for homes and businesses. If you're torn between them, the inspection is a good time to talk through how each one fits your house.

Should I be home when my roof is being replaced?

You don't have to be, but it helps to be easy to reach while the work is going on. Tear-off is loud, so plan around that if you work from home. Try to be there at the end for the final walkthrough.
