Roof Repair in Ypsilanti, MI
Most small roof repairs in Ypsilanti — a few wind-lifted shingles, a resealed pipe boot, a minor flashing fix — run a few hundred dollars, and Guthix Roofing will tell you in writing exactly what yours costs before we start. We repair roofs across the city and the surrounding townships: leak tracing, chimney and step flashing, valley work, and storm tarping, which we prioritize as weather and schedule allow. We're a small Wyandotte-based company, licensed and insured (Michigan Residential Builder License #262600716), not a call center — the person who quotes the repair is the one who answers the phone at (734) 360-0805. If the roof turns out to be near the end of its life, we'll say so plainly instead of selling you a patch that won't hold.
Local knowledge, honest answers
Where a repair calls for new shingles, we match with Owens Corning Duration® where possible — and we'll be honest that a weathered roof never matches new shingles perfectly. What you'll get is a watertight repair, photos of the finished work, and an itemized quote up front.

Roof Repair in Ypsilanti: what matters here
Can a roof on an older Depot Town or Normal Park home be repaired?
Often, yes. On the century-old homes around Depot Town and Normal Park, leaks usually start at chimney flashing, valleys, or worn pipe boots rather than across the whole roof. If the decking underneath is sound, a targeted flashing or shingle repair can buy an older roof several more years. We'll tell you honestly which situation you're in — and when a repair estimate on an old roof climbs past $1,500–$2,000, replacement usually pays better.
How do you handle roof repairs on Ypsilanti rentals near campus?
A lot of the housing near Eastern Michigan University is owned by landlords who aren't on-site, so paperwork matters as much as the fix. We photograph the problem, send a written itemized scope before work starts, and document the completed repair — useful for your records, your tenants, and your accountant. We coordinate access directly with tenants when you want us to, and you get the same pricing a homeowner gets.

Your questions, answered straight
Most small repairs don't require one — swapping wind-lifted shingles, resealing a pipe boot, or fixing a short run of flashing is typically maintenance work. If the scope grows to the point where a permit is required, we pull it ourselves as part of the job. Either way, the written quote spells out exactly what's included before anything starts.
We'll get as close as we honestly can. Repairs are matched with Owens Corning Duration® shingles where possible, but shingles that have weathered for fifteen or twenty years never match brand-new ones perfectly — anyone who promises an invisible patch on an old roof is overselling. On the plus side, most repairs sit in valleys, around chimneys, or along edges where a slight color difference is barely noticeable from the street.
Yes — storm tarping is part of what we do, and we prioritize tarping calls as weather and schedule allow. We're a small company based in Wyandotte, so you're talking to the people who actually show up, not a dispatcher. Call (734) 360-0805, send photos if you can, and we'll tell you straight whether the roof needs tarping right away or can safely wait for a scheduled repair.
