Roof Repair in Sterling Heights, MI
Did last night's wind leave shingle tabs in your Sterling Heights yard? That's the most common repair call we get here — gusts off Lake St. Clair work shingles loose along ridges and rake edges, and fixing a few wind-lifted tabs typically runs a few hundred dollars. Guthix Roofing repairs the colonials, ranches, and split-levels Sterling Heights built through the 1960s–80s: missing shingles, pipe-boot reseals, chimney and step flashing, valley leaks, and storm tarping, which we prioritize as weather and schedule allow. We're a small, licensed and insured Michigan builder (License #262600716) out of Wyandotte — you talk to the people doing the work, not a call center. Free on-site inspections, itemized written quotes, no pressure.
Local knowledge, honest answers
Repairs are matched with Owens Corning Duration® shingles where possible; on an older roof we'll get the color close, though weathered shingles never match new ones perfectly — we'd rather tell you that up front. Every repair starts with a free inspection and ends with an itemized written quote, and if the smarter money is on replacement, we'll show you both numbers instead of just the one we'd rather sell.
Roof Repair in Sterling Heights: what matters here
Why do Sterling Heights split-levels leak where the rooflines meet?
A split-level roof isn't one roof — it's two or three, meeting at sidewalls and step-downs that all depend on step flashing to stay dry. On homes from the 60s–80s, that flashing has often been through a reroof or two, reused when it should have been replaced. When a leak shows up along an interior wall where the levels change, that junction is the first place we look — and rebuilding the flashing there is a repair, not a reroof.
Your roof was already replaced once — does that change the repair?
Many Sterling Heights originals were reroofed years ago, and some of those jobs went over the old layer. Repairs on a two-layer roof are trickier — fasteners need solid decking, and a patch has to tie into both layers cleanly. We'll tell you what we find, and if the roof is nearing the end anyway, keep in mind a second old layer adds roughly $750–$1,000 to a future tear-off. Honest numbers now make a better decision later.

Your questions, answered straight
We're a small local company, so we won't promise a time we can't keep — but storm calls, and tarping calls in particular, get prioritized as weather and schedule allow. Call (734) 360-0805, send photos if you have them, and we'll give you a straight answer about when we can be there. If water is actively coming in, a secured tarp keeps things dry until the repair.
Usually not. If the damage is confined to one slope and the rest of the roof is holding, a targeted repair — replacement shingles, resealed edges, a flashing check — typically runs a few hundred dollars and is the right call. The answer changes when a roof loses shingles in every strong wind because the adhesive seals have failed roof-wide, which we do see on Sterling Heights roofs from the last reroofing wave. A free inspection tells you which one yours is.
We can't tell you what your policy covers, but we can give a claim what it needs from the roofer's side: clear photos of the damage, an itemized written repair quote, and prompt tarping — prioritized as weather and schedule allow — to show the damage was mitigated. Good documentation makes every step after it easier, and it's the same paperwork we'd want as homeowners.
