Michigan Residential Roofing Contractor
Your roof has to handle Michigan rain, snow, wind, ice, summer heat and sudden storm damage without putting the rest of the home at risk. 3G Home Exteriors provides roof replacement, roof repair, storm damage inspections and roof system planning for homeowners across Fraser, Macomb County, Oakland County and Metro Detroit. From the first inspection to final cleanup, the goal is simple: give you a roof that is built correctly, explained clearly and backed by local workmanship.
Residential Roofing
3G Home Exteriors helps homeowners make confident roofing decisions before the damage turns into interior leaks, mold, insulation problems or expensive structural repairs. Every roof is reviewed as a full system: shingles, underlayment, decking, ice and water shield, flashing, valleys, ventilation, drip edge, gutters and how water leaves the home. Whether you need a full roof replacement, a targeted repair or documentation after a storm, 3G gives you a clear scope and a practical next step.
Full tear-off and replacement for aging, leaking or storm-damaged roofs. 3G reviews the roof deck, ventilation, flashing, underlayment, ice protection and shingle system before installation begins.
Targeted repair for missing shingles, active leaks, damaged flashing, wind damage, pipe boots, roof valleys and isolated problem areas where a full replacement may not be necessary yet.
Wind, hail, falling branches and ice can damage shingles, flashing and roof edges even when the problem is not obvious from the ground. A professional inspection documents what happened and what should be fixed.
When storm damage appears claim-worthy, 3G can provide photos, notes and contractor insight so homeowners understand the roof condition before speaking with the insurance adjuster.
Compare architectural asphalt shingles, color choices, warranty options and roofing materials that make sense for Michigan weather, curb appeal and budget.
Michigan roofs need proper attic ventilation, ice and water shield, sealed penetrations and valley protection to fight condensation, ice dams and freeze-thaw damage.
Leaks often start around chimneys, walls, valleys, pipe boots, skylights and roof transitions. 3G checks those details carefully instead of treating the roof as shingles only.
A new roof should move water safely into gutters and away from the foundation. 3G can review gutters, downspouts, drainage and leaf protection during the roofing estimate.
Roof system planning
Many roofing problems are not caused by the shingle alone. Poor ventilation, old flashing, weak decking, undersized gutters, missing ice protection and water backing up at roof edges can all shorten the life of a roof. 3G Home Exteriors looks at the whole system so the recommendation is based on what your home actually needs, not just what is fastest to sell.
Granule loss, curling edges, exposed fiberglass, brittle shingles and repeated blow-offs can show when repair is no longer the best long-term answer.

Request inspectionAfter wind or hail, 3G can document visible roof damage with photos and explain whether the condition looks repairable, replaceable or claim-worthy.
Insurance guideMichigan roof edges, valleys, chimneys, skylights and penetrations need special attention because ice dams and freeze-thaw cycles can push water under shingles.
Ask about detailsBefore & after
A good roof replacement should fix more than the surface appearance. These examples show the kinds of roofing issues 3G reviews during an estimate: damaged shingles, weak roof edges, poor ventilation, flashing problems and water-control concerns.


Wind-lifted, missing or aged shingles can let water reach the underlayment and roof deck. A properly installed replacement restores the protective layer and improves curb appeal.


The final roof is only as good as the details under and around the shingles. Decking, flashing, drip edge, valleys and ice protection are reviewed before the new system is installed.


Proper attic ventilation helps control heat and moisture, which can reduce premature shingle aging, roof deck problems and winter condensation concerns.


When roof water is moving too quickly or overflowing at gutters, 3G can review gutter size, drip edge, downspouts and leaf protection as part of the exterior plan.
Project details
A roofing estimate should explain the visible roof condition and the hidden details that affect long-term performance. These sections help homeowners understand what 3G looks for before recommending repair or replacement.

Architectural shingles provide a stronger, better-looking roofing option for many Michigan homes compared with older basic 3-tab systems.

During replacement, old layers are removed so damaged decking, soft spots and hidden issues can be found before the new roof is installed.

Ridge ventilation, intake ventilation, ice and water shield and sealed roof penetrations are key details for Michigan freeze-thaw conditions.

A completed roof should look clean from the street and leave the property protected, cleaned up and ready for the next rainstorm.

Chimneys, vents, walls and roof penetrations need properly installed flashing so water is directed away from vulnerable areas instead of finding a path under the shingles.

Michigan roofs should be prepared for snow, ice and freeze-thaw conditions with proper edge protection, ventilation and water-shedding details that help reduce ice-dam and moisture problems.
Roofing cost planning
Use the calculator as a planning tool before the inspection. The final estimate depends on roof size, pitch, tear-off layers, decking condition, flashing, ventilation, material selection, access and any storm-damage documentation needed.
Our process
A roofing project should feel organized from the first call to the final cleanup. 3G keeps the process clear so homeowners understand the condition, the recommendation and the work being completed.
Tell us where the home is, what you are seeing and whether the problem is a leak, storm damage, old roof age or a planned replacement.
3G reviews shingles, flashing, roof edges, valleys, penetrations, ventilation, gutters and visible signs of roof-system failure.
You receive a practical scope with the repair or replacement recommendation, material options and the details that affect the final price.
The crew completes the work, protects the property, handles cleanup and reviews the finished roof before the job is wrapped up.
Project proof
3G Home Exteriors works on Michigan homes that deal with old shingles, storm damage, winter roof wear, leaks, poor ventilation and exterior water-control issues. Each project starts with the same question: what will actually protect this home long-term?

A full replacement can reset the roof system when shingles are at the end of their service life, leaking repeatedly or showing widespread storm wear.
Request estimate
Ventilation, ice protection, flashing and roof deck condition are reviewed together so the new shingles are part of a stronger roof system.
Ask about roofing
When water runs off the roof, the gutter and downspout system has to carry it away from the home. Roofing and gutters should work together, not fight each other.

Roofing is a major decision. Homeowners want clear communication, honest recommendations, careful cleanup and a contractor who explains the work before the crew starts.

FAQ
A repair can make sense when the damage is isolated, the roof is newer and the surrounding shingles are still in good condition. Replacement is usually the better long-term option when the roof has repeated leaks, widespread shingle wear, major granule loss, soft decking, storm damage across multiple slopes or is near the end of its expected life.
Many Michigan roof replacements fall in a broad range because price depends on roof size, pitch, tear-off layers, decking condition, flashing, ventilation, shingle choice and access. The best way to get a reliable number is to schedule an inspection so the roof can be measured and the system details reviewed.
Yes. 3G can inspect the roof after wind, hail, falling branches or ice damage, document visible issues with photos and explain whether the damage looks repairable, replaceable or possibly claim-worthy.
3G can help homeowners understand the roof condition, provide documentation and meet with an adjuster when appropriate. The insurance company makes the coverage decision, but a contractor inspection can help make sure roof damage is clearly documented.
Many residential roof replacements are completed in one day when weather and roof complexity allow. Larger homes, steep roofs, multiple layers, damaged decking, detailed flashing or unexpected repairs can take longer.
3G installs asphalt shingle roofing systems and can help homeowners compare shingle lines, colors, warranties, ventilation details and other options that make sense for Michigan weather.
Poor ventilation can trap heat and moisture in the attic, which can shorten shingle life, damage roof decking, increase condensation and contribute to ice-related problems in winter. A roof estimate should review ventilation, not just shingles.
Ice and water shield is a self-adhering membrane installed under shingles in vulnerable areas such as roof edges, valleys and penetrations. It helps protect against water intrusion when ice, wind-driven rain or freeze-thaw conditions push water under shingles.
Yes. The roof and gutter system work together. During roofing, it is smart to review gutter attachment, drip edge, downspouts, overflow points and drainage so roof water moves safely away from the home.
