Exterior contractor in Clinton Township, MI
Clinton Township is one of the largest communities in Macomb County and one of the least uniform. Post-war bungalows, 1970s colonials, 1990s subdivisions and recent infill all sit within a few miles of each other, and so does almost every exterior problem we deal with.
We are based a few minutes away in Fraser and have been since 2011, which makes Clinton Township the single area we work in most.
No two streets here need the same thing
A quote for a Clinton Township house that has been produced from an aerial photograph and a price per square is a guess. The house might have plank sheathing and no weather barrier, or it might have OSB, house wrap and a builder-grade panel that failed at the detailing. Those are different jobs with different costs.
What we do instead is look at what the house actually is before anyone talks about price. On a roof that means the attic as well as the shingle; on a wall it means opening a small area where we can; on a gutter it means measuring the roof rather than the eave.

The advantage of being ten minutes away
Proximity is not a marketing point, it is a scheduling one. A crew that is not driving an hour each way can start earlier and finish the same day, and a callback for something small is a short visit rather than a negotiation.
It also means we are still here afterwards. A good deal of our work in Clinton Township comes from people whose neighbour used us, which only happens if the job held up.
What we look at on a first visit
The point of the inspection is to work out where the water goes, not to find something to sell. Roof, flashing, gutter, downspout, discharge, grade. Most exterior problems in this township are somewhere on that chain, and the visible damage is usually a step or two downstream of the cause.
You get an itemized written scope afterwards: what is being replaced, what is being repaired, what we are leaving alone and why, and the unit price for anything we might find once the work is open.
The most common calls we get here
Across a township with this much variety, the calls still cluster. These five account for most of what we are asked to look at.
- Water staining on a ceiling after a heavy rain. More often flashing or a blocked valley than a failed shingle.
- A gutter pulling away from the fascia. The gutter is fine; the wood behind it is not.
- Siding that has faded unevenly across one elevation. Usually the south or west wall, and usually a thin original panel.
- Ice building at the eave every winter. An attic ventilation and insulation question far more often than a roofing one.
- Water in the basement in spring. Where the downspouts discharge is the first thing to check and the cheapest thing to change.
Questions from Clinton Township homeowners
How do I know whether I need a repair or a replacement?
By how much of the system is at the end of its life, not by how bad the leak looks. One failed flashing on an otherwise sound roof is a repair. A sound-looking roof with granule loss across every slope is not, even if it is not leaking yet. We will tell you which one you have.
Do you cover all of Clinton Township?
Yes, the whole township, and we are here most weeks. There is no travel charge anywhere in Macomb County.
My house has an addition that was done badly. Can you fix the join?
That is a common job here. Where an addition meets the original house the framing depth, the sheathing and often the roof pitch all change, and if that junction was never flashed it leaks. It is fixable, and it is much cheaper to do while siding or roofing is already coming off.
Can you work with my insurance after storm damage?
We document what we find properly and give you what an adjuster needs. What we will not do is tell you a claim exists when it does not, and after a storm there will be people at your door who will.
