Roof Repair in Oakland County, MI
Most small roof repairs in Oakland County — a handful of wind-lifted shingles, a resealed pipe boot, a minor flashing fix — run a few hundred dollars, not thousands. Guthix Roofing handles that work across the county, from Royal Oak's 1920s bungalows to the big colonials of Troy, Novi, and Bloomfield, and we're a licensed and insured Michigan builder (License #262600716). Every repair starts with a free on-site inspection and ends with an itemized written quote, so you know exactly what's being fixed and what it costs. And we'll tell you the honest math: when a repair estimate on an older roof passes $1,500–$2,000, a full replacement usually pays better — most Oakland County replacements run about $6,500 to $17,000.
Local knowledge, honest answers
Where shingles have to be replaced, we match with Owens Corning Duration® in the closest available color — and we'll be straight with you: weathered shingles never match brand-new ones perfectly, so on an older roof the repair will be watertight and tidy, but not invisible. If a storm has opened up your roof, call (734) 360-0805 — we prioritize tarping calls as weather and schedule allow.
Roof Repair in Oakland County: what matters here
Which Oakland County roofs are most likely to need flashing repairs?
Two kinds, mostly. Older homes in Royal Oak, Southfield, and Farmington Hills often have original masonry chimneys where decades-old flashing has rusted or pulled loose — the classic slow ceiling stain. Newer two-stories in Troy and Rochester Hills leak at valleys and dormer sidewalls instead, where step flashing was rushed on the original build. Either way, we repair the flashing itself rather than smearing tar over it, because tar is a season-long fix at best.
What if your Oakland County roof already has two layers of shingles?
Plenty of older roofs in the county were shingled right over the previous layer. You can still repair a double-layer roof — we do it regularly — but it's worth knowing two things: repairs on layered roofs are harder to seal cleanly, and when replacement day comes, that second layer adds roughly $750–$1,000 to the tear-off. If your layered roof is already leaking in more than one spot, we'll usually tell you to put the repair money toward the replacement instead.

Your questions, answered straight
Usually not. Replacing a few shingles, resealing a pipe boot, or fixing a section of flashing typically doesn't require a permit in most communities. If the scope grows — significant decking replacement, structural work — we pull whatever permit the job requires and tell you before we start. We don't invent paperwork, and we don't skip it when it's genuinely needed.
We do — and hail is sneaky, because bruised shingles can look fine from the ground while granule loss quietly shortens their life. After a storm we'll inspect for free, photograph what we find, and tell you straight whether you're looking at a targeted repair, a documented insurance conversation, or nothing at all. Not every hailstorm damages every roof, and we won't invent damage to sell a job.
We're a small local company based in Wyandotte, not a call center, so you talk directly to the people doing the work. We schedule inspections across Oakland County — Novi, Farmington Hills, Southfield, and beyond — as openings come up, and small repairs are often completed in a single visit once quoted. For active leaks, we prioritize tarping calls as weather and schedule allow.
