Taylor is one of Downriver's biggest suburbs — miles of brick ranches, tri-levels, and newer two-stories across a wide range of ages. That variety means every roof here gets judged on its own merits: a 1970s ranch with original shingles needs a different conversation than a 2000s two-story after a hailstorm. We diagnose first, photograph everything, and scope to what's actually wrong.
A real mix: post-war ranches in the older sections, 70s–90s tri-levels and colonials in the middle, and newer construction toward the edges. Roof complexity varies just as much — simple gables on the ranches, cut-up rooflines with valleys and dormers on the two-stories. Storm exposure is the common thread across all of it.
Wind and hail damage. Cause: open Downriver exposure to spring storms and summer hail cells. Effect: lifted tabs, bruised mats, and displaced flashing — sometimes obvious, sometimes hidden for months.
Aging shingles on older stock. Cause: 70s–90s roofs reaching end of life. Effect: granule shedding, brittle tabs, leaks at every penetration.
Valley wear on complex roofs. Cause: two-story rooflines funneling decades of water through the same valleys. Effect: valley lining failure and wide leaks during heavy rain.
Storm calls start with documentation — dated photos of every slope before anything is touched — so repairs and any insurance claim share the same evidence. Older roofs get the full age assessment: repair where there's life left, replacement quoted plainly where there isn't. Complex rooflines get careful valley and flashing work, not shortcuts.
