Reliable Roof Replacement & Repair for Detroit, Michigan Homeowners

Detroit is a city of neighborhoods — from the historic brick Tudors and American Foursquares of Indian Village and Boston-Edison to the post-war bungalows of Warrendale, the renovated Victorians of Corktown and Woodbridge, and the mid-century ranches of Grandmont-Rosedale and Sherwood Forest. Each neighborhood carries its own architectural character, its own building history, and its own roofing challenges. What they all share is exposure to Michigan’s brutal climate and, in many cases, aging roof systems that are well overdue for professional attention.

Detroit’s weather puts extraordinary demands on residential roofing. The city averages 33 inches of snow per year, with winter temperatures that cycle above and below freezing dozens of times each season — the exact conditions that create ice dams, split flashing, and crack aging shingles. Detroit also sits at the convergence of major storm systems crossing the Great Lakes region. Summer thunderstorms with 60+ mph winds and damaging hail regularly sweep through the city, tearing shingles off roofs from East English Village to Brightmoor and everywhere in between.

3G Home Exteriors has been providing roofing services to Detroit homeowners since 2011. We work across the full spectrum of Detroit’s housing stock — from straightforward ranch reroofs in the Finney and Denby neighborhoods to complex multi-layer tear-offs on century-old homes in Palmer Park and the University District. Detroit’s older homes often present conditions that less experienced contractors aren’t prepared for: multiple existing shingle layers, original skip-sheathing that needs reinforcement, outdated ventilation systems, and flashing details around ornamental chimneys and dormers that require hand fabrication.

We install CertainTeed, GAF, and Owens Corning shingle systems rated for Michigan’s toughest conditions. Every Detroit project includes a thorough structural assessment, honest communication about what we find, and a written estimate that details every cost before a single nail is driven. We’re also experienced with Detroit’s permitting process and building inspection requirements. Whether your home is a fully renovated gem in West Village or a family home in Morningside that needs its first new roof in 30 years, we deliver the same level of professionalism and care.

What Detroit-Area Homeowners Say About Us

Real reviews from homeowners across Detroit and Wayne County

★★★★★

We bought a 1920s home in the University District that needed a complete roof replacement. Two other contractors took one look at the steep pitch and multiple dormers and passed. 3G came out, gave us a thorough inspection, explained everything that needed to happen, and did an outstanding job. They even hand-fabricated custom flashing around our original chimney. The attention to detail was incredible.

★★★★★

A massive storm came through and ripped shingles off the entire front face of our house in Grandmont. Water was already coming into the attic. 3G had a crew out the next morning with a tarp, and the full repair was done within four days. They handled our insurance claim from start to finish. Saved us an enormous amount of stress during a really difficult time.

We needed our roof replaced on a tight budget. 3G didn't try to upsell us on things we didn't need. They gave us an honest assessment, recommended a quality shingle that fit our budget, and delivered a roof that looks and performs great. The crew was polite, worked hard, and cleaned up everything. I tell everyone in my neighborhood about them.

Frequently Asked Questions — Roofing in Detroit, MI

Common questions from Detroit homeowners about roof replacement, repair, and working with us.

Roof replacement in Detroit ranges widely based on the home — from $7,000 for a straightforward single-story bungalow to $18,000+ for a large multi-story home with a complex roof. Detroit’s older homes frequently have two or three existing shingle layers that all need to be removed, which adds labor and disposal costs. Original decking may also need partial replacement. We provide free, itemized estimates that account for your home’s specific conditions so there are no hidden costs.

Absolutely — older homes are a core part of our work. Detroit’s pre-war and early post-war homes often have unique framing, original skip-sheathing boards instead of plywood, multiple existing roof layers, and ornamental details like decorative dormers and brick chimneys that require hand-fabricated flashing. Our crew is experienced with all of these conditions. We assess the full structure during tear-off and address any issues before the new roof goes on.

Yes. Detroit sees significant storm damage nearly every season — high winds, hail, and fallen tree limbs.

Our goal is to make the claims process as stress-free as possible while ensuring you receive full compensation for the damage.
