Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing in Michigan

How much does a new roof cost in Michigan?

The average roof replacement cost in Michigan varies by size and material. An average asphalt shingle roof typically ranges from $10,000 to $25,000, while metal roofing will be a higher investment due to its longevity. Contact us for a free, exact estimate.

How long does a roof last in Michigan?

A properly installed asphalt shingle roof generally lasts 40-50 years. Durable metal roofing installations can last 40-70 years, making them an excellent choice for our climate.

Does insurance cover roof damage in Michigan?

People often ask if insurance covers roof damage. The answer is generally yes, if the damage is the result of a sudden, covered peril like a severe windstorm, hail, or a fallen tree. It usually does not cover damage caused by gradual wear and tear or lack of maintenance. We can help you document the damage properly for your insurance adjuster.

What is the best roofing material for Michigan winters?

For Michigan's harsh climate, the two best roofing materials are Class 4 Impact Rated Asphalt Shingles (specifically the Malarkey Legacy line) and standing seam metal roofing. As experienced roofing contractors, we recommend these materials because they resist hail damage and outlast standard shingles during freeze-thaw cycles.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Michigan?

Yes. Michigan building code requires a permit for re-roofing projects. Community Construction handles all permitting and inspections, ensuring your new roof is fully code-compliant.

Roofing Maintenance Alert

Black Streaks on Your Roof? It’s Not Just Dirt.

If you see dark stains spreading across your roof, it’s likely Gloeocapsa Magma—a bacteria eating the limestone in your asphalt shingles. Extremely common in Michigan, this "roof algae" can shorten the lifespan of your roof if left unchecked.
