Roofing Services for Grand Blanc, Michigan

Yes, on both sides of the line. Grand Blanc Township runs a dedicated re-roof permit out of its building department on South Saginaw Street, and it is thorough — the application asks you to state the shingle style, the underlayment, the ventilation, and how much ice and water shield is going on. The City of Grand Blanc also requires a permit for roofing and siding, through its building department on East Grand Blanc Road, and note that counter is closed Fridays. In both cases work cannot begin until the permit is actually issued, which is worth knowing if a contractor wants to start tomorrow. We handle the filing and the inspection scheduling as part of your roof installation and replacement.

A traditional, non-complex roof generally runs about $8,000 to $20,000, set by material, square footage, and how complex the house is. Grand Blanc deserves a straight caveat, though: a fair number of homes here are larger than that range assumes. A big two-story with multiple gables, several valleys, dormers, and a steep pitch is a different job from a ranch, and it can price above $20,000 without anyone padding anything. If you would rather see the math than a brochure number, use our roofing cost calculator or read what a new roof costs in Michigan, and we will measure your roof and give you an itemized written price.

Quite possibly, and it is the step people forget until the shingles are already on the driveway. Plenty of Grand Blanc subdivisions carry deed restrictions or an architectural committee that has a say in roof color and sometimes material, and approval can take a couple of weeks depending on how often the board meets. Check your association documents before you sign anything, not after. We will give you manufacturer sample boards and the product spec sheets to submit, and we schedule the tear-off around the approval rather than gambling on it. If your neighborhood has no restrictions, you have skipped a step and lost nothing.

Use the township's own permit as your checklist. Grand Blanc Township's re-roof application requires the contractor to state four things: the shingle style, the underlayment type, the ventilation being installed, and the amount of ice and water shield. Those are exactly the four places a cheap quote gets cheap, and if a bid in front of you does not name all four, you are not comparing the same job. Ask each contractor to put them in writing along with the tear-off and disposal, whether any decking replacement is included or billed later, and the warranty on labor as well as materials. Once every quote states the same things, the numbers finally mean something.

Grand Blanc sits just south of Flint, so it is a short trip from our office and our crews are through the area constantly. We answer the phone at all hours and can normally get eyes on an active leak the same day or the next. If water is coming in now, that is emergency roof repair. If wind or hail came through and you are not sure what it did, that is storm damage roof repair, and it is worth a look even when the roof appears fine from the ground — on the steeper rooflines common here, the damage tends to be on the faces you cannot see from the driveway.

Free estimate, and yes — Michigan licensed, fully insured, and 25-plus years into this. The township permit application asks for a builder's license number, its expiration, and a workers' compensation carrier, so a contractor who cannot supply those cannot legally pull your permit in the first place. That is a useful filter. When we come out we get on the roof, photograph what we find, and give you a written, itemized price rather than a single figure on a business card. Full replacements carry a lifetime labor and materials warranty, which only means something coming from a company that will still be here.
