What Sets Roofing Army Apart in Rochester

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 Rochester Homeowners Face

Rochester sits in central Oakland County where winters bring heavy snow, ice, and sustained cold from November through March. The city's mature tree canopy and mix of older and newer housing stock create a range of roofing challenges across different neighborhoods.

Ice Dams on Older Homes

The historic homes near downtown Rochester and along the Paint Creek corridor were built before modern ventilation standards. Minimal soffit vents and inadequate insulation make them prime candidates for ice dams every winter. Correcting the attic ventilation during a roof replacement is the permanent solution.

Wind & Storm Damage

Rochester's mature tree canopy means fallen branches and debris on roofs after every major storm. Spring thunderstorms bring sudden downbursts and occasional hail that can crack or dislodge shingles. If you notice storm damage, call us for a free inspection.

Aging Neighborhood Roofs

Many Rochester neighborhoods were built in the 1960s through 1990s. Homes along Tienken, Walton, and the streets near Rochester Park have roofs that are 20 to 35 years old and past their expected lifespan. If your roof was installed before 2005, it is likely time for a full replacement.

Failed Pipe Boot Flashings

The rubber boots around plumbing vent pipes crack after 10 to 15 years of UV exposure. On a 20-plus year old roof, the pipe boots are almost always compromised. This is one of the first things we check during every roof repair inspection.

Freeze-Thaw Cycling

From February through April, daytime temps climb above freezing while overnight lows drop into the teens. This daily expansion and contraction loosens flashing around chimneys and vent pipes, breaks sealant bonds, and accelerates granule loss. Annual inspections catch these issues early.

Local Roofing Insights for Rochester

Downtown & Historic District

Homes near Main Street, Paint Creek Trail, and the streets surrounding Rochester Park. Built in the early to mid 1900s with steep pitches, dormers, and character details. Require careful flashing work and ventilation correction during replacement.

Tienken & University Neighborhoods

Established neighborhoods from the 1970s through 2000s along Tienken Road and University Drive. Standard residential roofing with larger roof systems, multiple valleys, and varied pitches. Many are overdue for their second or third roof.

Paint Creek Corridor

Properties along the Paint Creek Trail with mature tree canopy, higher moisture exposure, and limited access in some areas. These homes benefit from premium shingles with algae resistance and proper gutter systems.

A Walkable City with Strong Values

Rochester Community Schools is one of Oakland County's top districts. Property values are strong and homeowners invest in quality. Our Rochester Hills office is minutes from downtown Rochester.

What Rochester Homeowners Say

From start to finish, this team was on point. Aaron handled the roof and gutters replacement at my place, and I could tell right away he knew what he was doing. Sarah in the office made sure all the booking and permits were handled smoothly. Prices were fair and transparent. The best part was how clean the place was after they finished. If anyone in Rochester Hills needs roofing done, I can definitely recommend them.

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. Exactly what you want from a roofing company.
