Detroit homeowners don't need convincing that exteriors matter. From the neighborhoods around Eastern Market to the blocks near Belle Isle Park, this city takes property seriously — and the Great Lakes climate means a roof, set of windows, or gutter system that isn't up to spec will let you know about it.
Across Detroit and Southeast Michigan, Great Lakes Home Remodeling installs as a GAF President's Club certified contractor, top 2% of GAF roofers nationally. For a Detroit homeowner, that GAF certification unlocks manufacturer-backed warranties no off-brand or uncertified crew can offer.
What makes Detroit different
Detroit's housing stock is as varied as its neighborhoods. Historic brick homes near Midtown and the Detroit Institute of Arts deal with century-old framing, steep pitches, and original decking that's often seen too many patch jobs. Newer construction near the waterfront and outer districts brings its own challenges — current code requirements, tighter tolerances, and homeowners who want energy-efficient upgrades alongside the install. Wind exposure across the Detroit metro is real, and the freeze-thaw cycles that come with Michigan winters accelerate wear on every exterior surface.

Frequently asked questions
What does GAF President's Club certification mean for Detroit homeowners?
GAF certifies roofing contractors in tiers based on volume, training, and customer satisfaction; President's Club is the top 2% nationally. For a Detroit homeowner, that status unlocks the strongest manufacturer warranties available — and it's earned each year, never purchased.
Should I go with asphalt shingles or metal roofing for my Detroit home?
GAF asphalt is the more common Detroit choice — lower upfront cost, strong warranties, and 30-to-50-year ratings on premium systems. Tilcor stone-coated metal is a larger upfront investment but handles Michigan freeze-thaw cycles exceptionally well and has a longer service life. We'll walk through the tradeoffs at the in-home estimate.

Yes. We work across Detroit and the broader Southeast Michigan metro. Whether you're in Midtown, East Side, Northwest Detroit, or anywhere in between, we can schedule an in-home walkthrough and write up a straight estimate for your property.
