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 in Oxford, where he is raising two young daughters with his wife, and he works alongside our crews across Southeast Michigan. 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Outdated Attic Ventilation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.

What Clawson Homeowners Say

Had Roofing Army install a new roof recently and I am very pleased with the outcome. My project coordinator provided me pictures at the end as promised. Great communication throughout the entire process.

Aaron performed a very thorough inspection of the roof with a well-documented report. I was provided a very reasonable quote for a new roof with many options. The whole process was transparent and professional from start to finish.

While I haven't yet had roofing work completed, I had the pleasure of meeting Jake and felt confident leaving a review based on the impression he made. Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about doing the right thing for our home.

Hundreds of Happy Customers

Aaron performed a very thorough inspection of the roof with a well-documented report. I was provided a very reasonable quote for a new roof with many options. The whole process was transparent and professional from start to finish.

After getting the runaround from a couple other companies, Aaron came out and was completely straight with me about what I needed. No pressure, no scare tactics, just honest info. The crew showed up on time, did solid work, and left the place clean.

This was an extremely smooth process. Starting with Aaron Scott who handled the estimate, he was friendly, on time, no hard sell, just advised me of problems and gave a good price. Evan and the roofers took it from there. The clean up was excellent. I would highly recommend Roofing Army.
