"Community Construction did a great job on our roof. They even managed to squeeze us in before the arrival of our second child. Their crew was friendly, polite, and extremely hardworking. They picked up all of the debris and somehow managed to do the whole project in just 1 day! We would highly recommend them for their quality of products and service."

Start With a Roof Assessment
A leak, missing shingles or an aging roof needs an assessment of the affected area and the overall roofing system. Discuss the existing material, previous repairs, attic conditions and any interior signs of moisture.
We provide roof replacement and assess repair requests according to the condition and scope. A customer’s one-day project experience is not a completion promise for every roof.

Compare Asphalt Shingles and Metal Roofing
Architectural asphalt shingles
Compare the exact product, color, impact and wind ratings, accessories and warranty terms. Our roofing work includes Malarkey asphalt shingles; product ratings vary by line.
Metal roofing
Discuss panel profile, finish, fastening system, roof pitch, transitions and snow-management details. The installed system and roof geometry matter alongside the panel material.
Both choices require appropriate installation and ongoing attention to roof details. Review our Malarkey contractor profile and the current specifications for the proposed shingle.
A Roof Is More Than Its Shingles or Panels
The replacement plan should address the components that work together to manage water and protect the structure.
- Roof deck: Inspect exposed decking and define how additional repair work will be documented and priced.
- Underlayment and edge details: Specify compatible layers, drip edges and water-management details.
- Flashing: Address walls, chimneys, skylights, valleys and penetrations.
- Attic conditions: Review ventilation and discuss whether insulation or air leakage needs further attention.
Metal roofing does not by itself eliminate ice dams. Air sealing, insulation and appropriate ventilation are part of the assessment. See ENERGY STAR’s attic ventilation explanation.
Roof Replacement Cost: Compare the Complete Scope
Roof area, pitch, height, access, material selection and tear-off requirements all affect an estimate. Valleys, dormers, chimneys and damaged decking can add work that a simple square-foot price does not describe.
| Item | Details to confirm |
|---|---|
| Materials | Product line, color, underlayment, accessories and flashing scope. |
| Removal and repairs | Existing layers, disposal, decking assessment and pricing for added repair work. |
| Site protection | Access, protection of landscaping and adjacent surfaces, cleanup and debris collection. |
| Schedule | Weather dependencies, delivery arrangements and the work sequence. |
| Warranty | Written product and workmanship terms, exclusions and any registration requirements. |
A warranty term is not a guaranteed service life. Compare the actual coverage and maintenance obligations rather than relying on a “lifetime roof” label.
Request a Roof Replacement EstimatePrepare for Roofing Work
Before work begins, confirm where materials and disposal containers will be placed, how vehicles will be moved and how people will enter and leave the home. Ask about attic belongings and protection of nearby outdoor items.
If your project also includes siding or windows, discuss the sequence and any shared flashing or trim details in one coordinated scope.
Discuss Your Roof With Our Team
Share your property location, roofing material, approximate age and the issues you have noticed. Photos taken safely from the ground can help start the conversation.
We coordinate work from our Lansing headquarters. Contact us to confirm project availability and the next step for your address.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a roof replacement cost?
The estimate depends on roof area, pitch, access, material, removal requirements and the condition of the deck and flashing. Request a written scope and a clear process for pricing concealed damage.
How long will my roof last?
Service life varies with the installed product, workmanship, roof design, weather exposure and maintenance. Review the condition of your own roof and the manufacturer’s written warranty rather than treating a generic lifespan range as a guarantee.
Does a metal roof prevent ice dams?
No roofing material alone guarantees that ice dams will not form. Roof design, attic heat loss, insulation, air sealing, ventilation and weather conditions all deserve consideration.
Can a damaged roof be repaired instead of replaced?
Sometimes. The location and extent of damage, condition of surrounding materials and availability of compatible products help determine whether a repair is practical. Contact us to discuss an assessment.
Who confirms permit and inspection requirements?
We review the applicable requirements for the property and project scope during planning. Confirm responsibility for permit applications and inspections in the written proposal.
Black Roof Streaks: Understand the Cause Before Choosing a Fix
Dark streaks may be algae staining. Appearance alone does not establish that a roof needs replacement or prove a leak. Our guide explains what to inspect and why cleaning methods should follow the shingle manufacturer’s guidance.
