Oakland County developed from farmland into one of Michigan's most densely built suburban counties through waves of growth from the 1950s through the 1990s. The median home in the county was built around 1977, meaning a large share of the housing stock is approaching or past the 40-to-50-year mark. Farmington Hills, Troy, Southfield, Royal Oak, and Berkley have heavy concentrations of homes built between 1960 and 1990 where asphalt shingles are at or past their expected lifespan. Pontiac's older neighborhoods have pre-war housing with original wood siding and steep roofs, while Bloomfield Hills and Birmingham have larger estate-style homes with more complex roof geometries.

Homes built in Farmington Hills, Troy, and Southfield between 1960 and 1990 are now on their second or third roof. Asphalt shingles in Michigan's freeze-thaw climate typically last 20 to 25 years, so many of these homes are overdue. Hail events that Oakland County sees in April through June can accelerate granule loss on already-aging shingles, moving up the replacement timeline by several years.
Pontiac's pre-war neighborhoods have a different set of challenges. Homes from the 1920s and 1930s often have original wood siding that has been painted over many times, and the underlying boards have cupped and cracked. Fascia and soffit framing on these older structures frequently shows rot from decades of moisture intrusion. Carpentry repairs to the framing are the foundation of any siding project on these homes.
In Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills, larger homes with complex roof geometries, multiple valleys, and architectural shingle or metal roofing require more detailed planning and staging than a standard ranch or colonial. We assess the full roof system, including flashing, ridge ventilation, and deck condition, before any work begins, because a missed detail on a complex roof becomes a leak point.
At a glance
Roofing replacement is the dominant service need across Oakland County because the county's postwar and 1970s-era housing stock has reached the point where asphalt shingles are failing in large numbers. Hail events in spring and early summer cause granule loss and impact damage that shortens remaining shingle life further. Siding replacement is in high demand in Farmington Hills, Southfield, and Royal Oak, where original vinyl and aluminum siding from the 1970s and 1980s has become brittle and is no longer sealing correctly. Carpentry work is frequently needed in Pontiac's older neighborhoods, where pre-war homes have original wood trim and fascia that has deteriorated significantly.

Common questions from Oakland County, MI customers about our services, process, and coverage.
Homes in Farmington Hills, Troy, and Southfield built between 1960 and 1990 are in the age range where full replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs. Signs that point toward replacement include widespread granule loss in gutters, multiple shingles lifting or cracking, and any evidence of water intrusion in the attic. A thorough inspection of the deck and ventilation system gives a clear picture of what the roof actually needs.
Yes. Oakland County sees hail events primarily in spring and early summer that can cause granule loss and impact damage to asphalt shingles. On shingles that are already aging, even a moderate hail event can remove enough granules to expose the asphalt mat and accelerate deterioration. An inspection after any hail event is the right way to assess whether damage is present.
Original vinyl and aluminum siding from the 1970s and 1980s becomes brittle over time and loses its ability to seal at the seams and around penetrations. Brittle vinyl cracks in cold weather, and aluminum siding oxidizes and loses its paint bond. Both conditions allow moisture to reach the sheathing behind the panels, which can lead to rot in the wall framing if left unaddressed.
They often require more carpentry preparation. Pre-war homes in Pontiac frequently have original wood siding that has been painted many times, and the boards underneath are cupped, cracked, or rotted in places. Removing the old siding and repairing the sheathing and framing before new panels go on is the correct approach, and it adds time to the project compared to a newer home with intact sheathing.
