Roof Replacement & Repair in Detroit, MI
Detroit's neighborhoods are full of character — the brick Tudors of Boston-Edison, the Craftsman bungalows of Rosedale Park, the historic homes of Corktown, and the East side's sturdy two-family flats. They also tend to have older roofs, often shingled over more than once. Guthix Roofing helps Detroit homeowners replace a roof the right way: measured precisely, inspected honestly, and priced transparently.
Local knowledge, honest pricing
We're licensed, insured, and local. We almost always recommend a full tear-off to bare decking so we can find and fix the rot and soft spots that decades of Michigan weather leave behind — then install Owens Corning Duration® shingles backed by written warranties.
What Detroit roofs need
Historic homes deserve real tear-offs
A lot of Detroit roofs carry two layers of old shingles that hide the decking underneath. We strip to bare wood, repair what we find, and rebuild the roof properly — ice-and-water shield, ventilation, and flashing included. It costs a little more than a layover and lasts far longer.
Storm damage and insurance
When a summer storm rolls through, we inspect for wind and hail damage, document it with photos, and can meet your adjuster on-site to make sure the full scope of legitimate damage is captured. No pressure, no storm-chaser games.

Your questions, answered straight
Yes. Roof replacements in Detroit require a permit through the city's Buildings, Safety Engineering and Environmental Department (BSEED). We handle the permitting and follow Detroit and Michigan building codes as part of the job.
If your roof is under 15–20 years old with isolated damage, a repair may be all you need. But on the older, often multi-layer roofs common in Detroit, repeated patches usually cost more over time than one proper replacement. We'll give you an honest call after a free inspection.
All of them — from Corktown and Midtown to Rosedale Park, Boston-Edison, East English Village, and the East and West sides. If you're in the city, we can help.
