What Sets Roofing Army Apart in Clawson

Who We Are

Roofing Army was built by Aaron Scott, a licensed residential builder who has spent his entire life in the home service industry and never lost his passion for the craft. Aaron lives right here in Oxford on West Drahner Road, raising two young daughters with his wife, and he runs this company the same way he runs his home: with pride, integrity, and a refusal to cut corners.

Several of our crew members are Army veterans, and that ethos runs through everything we do: show up, do the work right, and serve the people counting on you. We are not obsessed with profits. We are obsessed with roofing. We built Roofing Army to be everything the other guys are not, and we are proud of every shingle that proves it.

Roofing Challenges Clawson Homeowners Face

Clawson shares the demanding southern Oakland County climate with heavy winter snowfall, freezing rain, and sustained cold from November through March. The city's post-war housing stock was built with minimal insulation and ventilation, and the mature tree canopy that gives Clawson's streets their character also creates specific roofing challenges.

Ice Dams on Post-War Homes

Clawson's bungalows and ranches from the 1940s through 1960s have ventilation systems that are decades behind current code. Heat escapes into the attic, melts snow on the upper roof, and the meltwater refreezes at the colder eaves to form ice dams. Proper ventilation solutions during a roof replacement prevent this permanently.

Outdated Attic Ventilation

Most Clawson homes were built before modern ventilation codes existed. The bungalows have steep pitches with limited soffit area, while the ranches have low-slope roofs with minimal attic space. Both styles need ventilation upgrades during a roof replacement to prevent ice dams, moisture damage, and premature shingle failure. We calculate the required net free area for each attic and install the right solution.

Mature Tree Canopy

Clawson's tree-lined residential streets shade roofs, drop branches during storms, and deposit leaves that clog gutters and trap moisture in valleys. The dense shade promotes algae and moss growth on north-facing slopes. Atlas shingles with Scotchgard protector granules resist the algae streaking that is common on shaded Clawson roofs.

Aging Roof Systems

Many Clawson homes are on their second or third roof since original construction. Previous contractors may have laid new shingles over old ones, neglected deteriorating decking, or used substandard flashing. We strip everything down to the bare structure, inspect every board, and replace any soft, warped, or water-damaged sections before new shingles go on.

Summer Storm Damage

Oakland County averages 30+ thunderstorm days per year. High winds and hail strip granules from aging shingles, and on Clawson's compact lots, debris from one roof can land on a neighbor's property. If you notice storm damage, call us for a free inspection before the next rain makes it worse.

Local Roofing Insights for Clawson

14 Mile Road Corridor

The residential streets flanking Clawson's downtown corridor along 14 Mile Road feature a mix of post-war bungalows and Cape Cods. These homes are within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and community amenities. The compact lots and proximity to neighbors require careful logistics during a roof replacement to protect adjacent properties.

Central Residential Streets

The residential blocks between 14 Mile and Rochester Road are quintessential Clawson: post-war ranches and bungalows with mature tree canopy, compact lots, and detached garages. Most homes are 1,000-1,500 square feet with straightforward rooflines that make for efficient replacements. Ventilation upgrades are the most common improvement we make alongside shingle replacement.

Between Troy and Royal Oak

Clawson's unique position between two of Oakland County's most prominent cities gives it access to amenities in both directions while maintaining lower price points. Homeowners here invest in their properties because the location, walkability, and community feel make Clawson a long-term home. Our crews know these neighborhoods because we work in Clawson, Troy, and Royal Oak regularly.

Building Permits & Codes in Clawson

Permit information for the City of Clawson is being confirmed with the local building department. We handle all permit requirements for every jurisdiction we serve and will update this section with specific details.

Regardless of permit requirements, every Roofing Army installation follows Michigan Residential Code and manufacturer specifications. We install ice and water shield well past the minimum code requirement on every Clawson roof.

Signs You Need a New Roof in Clawson

Not sure if your roof needs attention? Here are the warning signs Clawson homeowners should watch for.

1

Curling or Buckling Shingles

Shingles that are curling at the edges or buckling in the middle have lost their seal and are no longer protecting your home. This is a sign of age, heat damage, or moisture from underneath.

2

Missing or Cracked Shingles

If you see bare spots on your roof or find shingle pieces in your yard or gutters after a storm, the roof is actively failing. Even a few missing shingles leave your decking exposed to water.

3

Granules in Your Gutters

The small sand-like granules on asphalt shingles protect them from UV and weather. When you see heavy granule buildup in your gutters or downspouts, the shingles are nearing end of life.

4

Dark Streaks or Algae Growth

Black streaks on your roof are algae feeding on the limestone in your shingles. While cosmetic at first, heavy algae growth means the protective granules are being consumed and the shingles are deteriorating.

5

Sagging Areas

A sagging roofline or soft spots when walking on the roof indicate structural issues, rotted decking, or trapped moisture. This needs immediate attention before it becomes a safety concern.

6

Daylight Through the Attic

If you can see daylight coming through the roof boards from inside your attic, water is getting in too. Check for light spots and water stains on the underside of the decking.

7

Recurring Leaks

A single leak can sometimes be repaired. But if leaks keep coming back in the same spot or showing up in new areas, the underlying roofing system is failing and a full replacement is the right call.

8

Your Roof Is 20+ Years Old

Most asphalt shingle roofs in Michigan last 20 to 25 years. If yours is in that range and showing any of these signs, it is likely past its useful life even if it looks okay from the ground.

Noticing any of these signs? We offer free roof inspections with no obligation.

Storm Damage? We Help With Insurance Claims in Clawson

If your roof was damaged by wind, hail, or a fallen tree, your homeowners insurance policy will typically cover the cost of repair or replacement minus your deductible. We work with all major insurance carriers and guide you through the entire claims process so you get what your policy covers.

We do not inflate claims or add unnecessary charges. We document what is actually damaged, provide honest assessments, and let the insurance process work the way it is supposed to.

1

Call Us First

Before calling your insurance company, call us. We will come out the same day or next day, inspect the damage, and document everything with photos and a detailed report.

2

We Meet Your Adjuster

When your insurance company sends an adjuster, we meet them on site at your home. We walk the roof together, point out all the damage, and make sure nothing gets missed.

3

We Handle the Paperwork

We provide your insurance carrier with all the documentation they need: damage photos, measurements, material specifications, and a detailed scope of work.

4

We Do the Work

Once your claim is approved, we schedule and complete the replacement or repair. You pay your deductible and the insurance covers the rest. No out of pocket surprises.
