Westland · Wayne County · 48185, 48186
Westland is one of the cities we're in most often, and a leak call here usually gets an early slot on the board. We repair roofs and we don't sell replacements, which means nobody turns up hoping to talk a $340 flashing repair into a tear-off proposal.
Most of Westland went up between 1955 and 1975 — brick ranches and three-bedroom colonials on flat lots, many with a low-slope addition or an attached garage roof tacked on later. That original architecture has aged into a predictable set of problems. Shallow pitches hold water longer than steeper roofs do, and the transition where a 1960s addition meets the main house is the single most common leak point we open up in this city.
What we find here
Where a family room or breezeway was added, the flashing tying it into the original roof is often the cheapest part of the whole job — and it's usually the part that fails first. We rebuild that detail rather than caulking it.
Rolled roofing and modified bitumen over attached garages goes brittle after fifteen Michigan winters. Seams open, water tracks along the wall line and shows up inside the house, far from the actual hole.
A lot of Westland chimneys still carry their first-generation counterflashing. Sealant is a two-year fix at best; proper step and counter flashing is a decade.

We're a service-area business, so there's no office for you to drive to — we come to the house. Most leak calls in Westland are scheduled within 48 hours, and emergency tarping is available if water is actively coming in.
Ordinary repairs don't require a permit in Westland. A full replacement does, and it runs roughly $315 to $370 in permit cost alone before a single shingle is bought — one more reason to find out whether a repair will actually hold before agreeing to a replacement.
Every repair in Westland carries the same terms as everywhere else we work: a flat price quoted before work starts, a photo report of the finished job, and a written warranty on the invoice — one year on spot repairs, three years on slope work, five on flashing.
