When Michigan Weather Threatens What Matters Most
Picture this: You’re lying in bed during another Michigan winter storm, hearing the wind howl and the ice hammer your roof. That worry creeps in again – is my roof going to hold up?
If you’re a homeowner, you’re thinking about your family’s safety, your biggest investment, and the nightmare of emergency repairs during a blizzard.
Here’s the thing: you shouldn’t have to lose sleep due to your roof. Roof damage isn’t just inconvenient – it’s destructive. Water damage, mold growth, structural issues, insurance claims, emergency contractor markups… the list goes on.
But what if there was a better way to repair a roof or replace your roof before these issues arise?
Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment
We don’t just climb up and take a quick look. Our detailed inspection includes moisture detection, structural analysis of the roof decking, and a full assessment of your current system’s performance, including bald spots or sagging areas on the roof.
Step 2: Clear, Honest Recommendations
No high-pressure sales tactics. We present our findings, explain your options in plain English, and give you the facts you need to make the best decision for your home, whether it’s repairing a section of the roof or replacing the entire roof.
Step 3: Transparent Pricing
Our quotes covers everything, including materials, labor, permits, cleanup, and disposal. What you see is what you pay. We break down all the roofing costs, including material costs for options like wood shingles, asphalt shingles, and gutters.
Step 4: Professional Installation
Our certified installers follow manufacturer specifications to the letter, making sure your warranty will remain valid and your roof performs as designed. We pay attention to every detail, from the drip edge to the flashing in the valley.
Peace of Mind for For Homeowners

Energy Savings That Add Up
Our energy-efficient roofing systems can reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 30%. That’s real money back in your pocket, year after year.

“We have a high pitched roof, which required a tear-off replacement. We were nervous having a replacement late in the season, but the crew did an amazing job! The replacement is high quality, workmanship as well as materials. They took care of everything. Everyone did a great job making sure the equipment didn’t damage our new pavers. They did the huge job quickly and left no mess. We even got follow up calls and site visits to make sure everything was perfect. If you need a roof, this is the company that cares about doing the right thing and making the experience a win-win. Thank you Chris, Elise, and crew!“

He was extremely knowledgeable and able to communicate very effectively so I could learn and understand some of the nuances relating to my roof, gutters, etc. He worked diligently and carefully, ensuring that all issues were addressed to my satisfaction. He did not attempt to sell me any additional services, but did point out what I might expect from my roof in the future. If I ever have need for additional roof services, RoofAdvisor is clearly who I would call. The cost for his services was very reasonable.“

How much should it cost to put a new roof on?
Every home is different, but a new roof for an average-sized home usually falls in the $5,000 to $20,000 range. The final price depends on the roofing material you choose, how steep or complex your roof design is, and whether old shingles need to be torn off.
How much is the average cost of roof replacement?
A “typical” roofing job—meaning an asphalt shingle roof on a modestly sized home with no unusual design features—often runs $5,000 to $15,000. Homes with larger square footage, multiple dormers, or premium materials can land well above that range.
How much is the cost of roof replacement for 1,000 sq ft of roof?
For a smaller roof around 1,000 square feet, most homeowners spend between $4,000 and $11,000 depending on the roofing materials, roof pitch, and condition of the existing roof. Asphalt shingles are typically the most affordable option, while metal roofing, tile, or slate roofing will drive the cost higher.
How much is a full roof replacement for a 1,500 sq ft house?
On a 1,500 square foot home, the price of a new roof usually lands between $7,000 and $15,000 when using standard asphalt shingles. Factors like steep roof pitches, additional features, or premium materials can push costs higher, while simple rooflines with entry-level shingles tend to stay on the lower end.
What is the cheapest cost to replace a roof?
The lowest-cost replacements use basic asphalt shingles on a simple, low-slope roof. In the best-case scenario, you might see pricing around $4 per square foot, but it’s important to remember that the cheapest option isn’t always the best long-term investment. Lower-end shingles may not last as long, meaning you could face another replacement sooner.
What if I can't afford to replace my roof?
If a full replacement isn’t in the budget, you may be able to repair only the damaged sections to buy time. Some homeowners also explore our financing options. Choosing mid-range shingles instead of premium products can also reduce costs without sacrificing too much quality. Additionally, check if your homeowners insurance covers any of the roof replacement costs.
How to spot a bad roofing company?
Beware of those in the roofing industry who:
- Avoid showing proof of licensing or insurance
- Pressure you into quick decisions
- Provide vague or incomplete estimates
- Lack local references or verified reviews
As a Master Elite® contractor, RoofAdvisor sets the standard with certifications, transparent communication, and long-term warranties—so you know you’re in good hands.
Is choosing roof replacement contractors near me important?
Yes, working with a roof replacement contractor near you means faster response times, knowledge of potential weather extremes, and familiarity with local building codes. That said, “near me” doesn’t always mean just down the street. RoofAdvisor proudly serves a wide area across Wayne, Oakland, Washtenaw, Livingston, and beyond.
Whether you’re in Plymouth, Ann Arbor, Canton, Novi, or Lansing, you’ll get the same level of trusted service, clear communication, and expert workmanship.
Will insurance cover a new roof?
Insurance may cover a replacement if the damage was caused by a sudden event such as a storm, hail, or wind damage. Normal wear and tear or neglect usually isn’t covered. Our team provides detailed reports and works directly with your insurance company to make the process as smooth as possible.
