Serving Troy, MI (Oakland County)

Trusted Roofing Contractor in Troy, MI

Engineered roof replacements, hail restoration, and attic ventilation built for Troy two-story colonials and split-level subdivisions.

Roofing Architecture & Weather Engineering in Troy, MI

Troy features one of the largest concentrations of 1970s through 1990s two-story brick colonials and quad-level homes in Oakland County. Subdivisions stretching from Somerset North and Charnwood Hills to Beach Road, Coolidge Highway, and Rochester Road share a common structural vulnerability: long horizontal eave runs paired with undersized original aluminum box vents and compressed fiberglass soffit insulation. When January lake-effect snow melts across upper roof slopes and refreezes above deep soffit overhangs, destructive ice dams form rapidly along the gutter line. Our crews rebuild Troy roofs from the bare plywood deck up, replacing deteriorated half-inch OSB sheathing, installing two full courses of self-adhering ice-and-water membrane across all eaves and garage valleys, and cutting continuous shingle-over ridge vents balanced by rigid polystyrene soffit intake baffles that keep the roof deck cold all winter.

Michigan Roofing Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We've got answers. Here are some of the most common inquiries we receive.

How much does a typical roof replacement cost in Troy, MI?
Most two-story colonial roof replacements in Troy range between $13,500 and $22,000 for architectural asphalt shingles, with a typical permitted project average near $18,630. Standing seam metal and composite slate systems generally range from $28,000 to $46,000 depending on hip-and-valley complexity.
Does the City of Troy require a building permit for residential reroofing?
Yes. The City of Troy Building Department at 500 W Big Beaver Road requires a residential roofing permit before tear-off begins. 4Ever Roof submits the permit application, documents bare wood decking and ice-and-water shield installation with photos, and coordinates the final municipal inspection.
Why do Troy quad-level and colonial homes develop leaks where the garage meets the second story?
Snow drifts against the vertical second-story dormer or house wall above the lower garage roof. Without high-backed aluminum step flashing and a 36-inch self-sealing membrane turned up the sidewall behind the brick or vinyl siding, melting snow wicks behind the fascia.
Can you replace rotten plywood decking discovered during a Troy tear-off?
Yes. We inspect every square foot of roof sheathing once old shingles are removed. Any delaminated OSB or water-rotted plank boards around chimneys and bath vents are replaced with code-compliant CDX plywood before new underlayment is fastened.
Do your Troy roofing crews also serve neighboring Clawson and Madison Heights?
Yes. Our Troy service team covers all four Troy zip codes (48083, 48084, 48085, 48098) as well as adjacent neighborhoods in Clawson and the Crooks and Main Street corridors.
How do you ventilate Troy colonials that currently have old metal box vents?
When we tear off your old roof, we deck over the inefficient mid-roof box vent holes with new plywood, cut a continuous 1.5-inch slot along the main roof peaks, and install a baffled shingle-over ridge vent paired with clear soffit intake vents.
