Roof Replacement & Repair in Trenton, MI
Trenton sits right on the Detroit River, looking across the channel at Grosse Ile, and its housing tells the city's whole story — older two-stories and bungalows in the blocks near downtown and Elizabeth Park, post-war homes filling in between, and newer colonials toward the west side. Guthix Roofing helps Trenton homeowners figure out what their roof actually needs: measured by satellite, confirmed in person, and priced straight.
Local knowledge, honest pricing
We're based just up the river in Wyandotte, and we're licensed and insured (MI Builder #262600716). A full tear-off — never a layover — is how we find the soft decking and hidden rot before the new roof goes on top of them. Then we install Owens Corning Duration® architectural shingles, backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty in writing.
What Trenton roofs need
Older blocks, layered roofs, honest tear-offs
A lot of homes in Trenton's older neighborhoods near downtown and Elizabeth Park have been reshingled more than once, and a second layer is very good at hiding soft decking underneath it. We strip every roof to bare wood, replace any decking that won't hold a nail, and rebuild from there — ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new flashing at chimneys and sidewalls, and ventilation matched to the attic so the new shingles last as long as they're supposed to.
Built for wind off the water
Trenton roofs face open river. The wind coming across the channel from Grosse Ile has very little to slow it down, and winter freeze-thaw off the water feeds ice dams on under-ventilated roofs. We fasten shingles for high-wind performance, run ice-and-water shield past the code minimum at the eaves, and make sure intake and exhaust ventilation actually work together. For homeowners who want extra protection, our premium tier steps up to Duration FLEX® impact-resistant shingles.

Your questions, answered straight
Yes — a full roof replacement in Trenton needs a building permit for a full roof replacement. We handle that for you: we pull the permit with the city's building department, include the fee in your quote, and schedule the final inspection when the job is done. You don't have to make a single trip to city hall.
It should. Homes near the riverfront and Elizabeth Park catch wind straight off the water, so fastening and edge details matter more than they do a few miles inland. We use a high-wind nailing pattern, proper starter strips at the eaves and rakes, and sealed ridge caps. Owens Corning Duration® shingles carry a strong wind rating when they're installed to spec — which is exactly how we install them.
