Roof Replacement & Repair in Lincoln Park, MI
Lincoln Park is classic Downriver: rows and rows of sturdy 1920s–1940s bungalows and two-story homes on narrow lots, built close together and built to last. The roofs are another story — many are carrying their second layer of shingles over the original plank decking, and a lot of them are due. Guthix Roofing helps Lincoln Park homeowners replace a roof the right way: measured by satellite, inspected in person, and priced with no surprises.
Local knowledge, honest pricing
We're licensed, insured, and based just down the road in Wyandotte. On homes this age we insist on a full tear-off rather than a layover — it's the only way to find and fix soft decking before it turns into a leak — then install Owens Corning Duration® architectural shingles backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty.
What Lincoln Park roofs need
Pre-war homes, past the layover limit
Plenty of Lincoln Park roofs already carry two layers of shingles, and Michigan code doesn't allow a third. That's fine by us — a layover was never the right call on a 1920s–1940s home anyway. We strip down to the original plank decking, replace whatever is soft or split, and rebuild with ice-and-water shield, proper ventilation, and new flashing at every chimney and wall.
Ice dams and shallow bungalow attics
The low attics in Lincoln Park's older bungalows leave little room for insulation and airflow, so escaping heat melts snow that refreezes at the eaves — the classic recipe for ice dams. We correct ventilation while the roof is open and run ice-and-water shield along the eaves and valleys so winter meltwater ends up in the gutters, not your ceiling. And on lots this narrow, we keep the tear-off tight: tarps down, magnets out, and a full cleanup so your neighbor's yard never becomes part of the job site.

Your questions, answered straight
Yes. Like most Downriver communities, the City of Lincoln Park requires a building permit for a roof replacement. We pull the permit and handle the inspections as part of the job, and everything is installed to Michigan code — you don't have to touch the paperwork.
No — Michigan code caps asphalt shingles at two layers, and many of Lincoln Park's 1920s–1940s homes are already there. The good news is a full tear-off makes a better roof anyway: we get to inspect and repair the original plank decking instead of sealing old problems under new shingles.
Yes. We're based in Wyandotte, so Lincoln Park is home turf — along with Allen Park, Southgate, Ecorse, Melvindale, River Rouge, and the rest of Downriver and Wayne County. Start with a free instant quote at guthixroofing.com/quote or call (734) 360-0805.
