Roof Replacement & Repair in Lincoln Park, MI
Lincoln Park's 1920s–1940s bungalows are among the most affordable homes Downriver to reroof: most full replacements run $6,500 to $9,500 with Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles, and stripping the second shingle layer many of them carry adds $750 to $1,000. Guthix Roofing handles the tear-offs — licensed and insured, Michigan builder license #262600716, based ten minutes down Fort Street in Wyandotte. These rows of narrow-lot homes were built close together and built to last; their roofs are another story, with many layered over the original plank decking and due for a proper tear-off.

Local knowledge, honest pricing
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 we install Owens Corning Duration® architectural shingles backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty.
What Lincoln Park roofs need
Why are Lincoln Park's 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.
Why do shallow bungalow attics cause ice dams?
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.
