Southfield's Trusted Local Roofer

Our Ferndale office is a short drive from Southfield's residential neighborhoods. Southfield is Oakland County's second-largest city at 26 square miles, but the residential areas are concentrated in distinct neighborhoods with housing from every decade since the 1950s. We understand the differences between a 1950s ranch south of 10 Mile, a 1970s colonial near Evergreen, and a 1990s home in the northern subdivisions. When you call us, you are talking to the people who will actually be on your roof, not a sales team.

What Sets Roofing Army Apart in Southfield

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 Southfield Homeowners Face

Southfield covers 26 square miles of southern Oakland County where Michigan's harsh winters, summer storms, and temperature swings take a direct toll on the city's diverse residential housing stock. Homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s face the same ventilation, insulation, and aging challenges as other inner-ring suburbs, while newer construction in the northern neighborhoods tends to have better systems but is still subject to Michigan's demanding weather.

Ice Dams on Older Ranches

Southfield's 1950s-1960s ranch homes south of 10 Mile Road have low-slope roofs with ventilation systems that are decades behind current code. Heat escapes into the attic, melts snow unevenly, and ice dams form at the eaves. Proper ventilation solutions during a roof replacement prevent this permanently.

Ventilation Across Decades

Southfield's housing spans multiple decades, and each era has its own ventilation challenges. 1950s ranches often have no soffit vents at all. 1960s-70s colonials may have undersized gable vents. 1980s homes typically have better systems but may still lack adequate intake-to-exhaust balance. We assess each home individually and install the right solution for its specific construction.

Aging Roof Systems

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

Storm Damage

Oakland County averages 30+ thunderstorm days per year. Southfield's flat terrain and open areas around the Northwestern Highway and Telegraph Road corridors can create wind acceleration during severe storms. High winds strip granules from aging shingles and can tear off loose tabs. If you notice storm damage, call us for a free inspection.

Mature Tree Canopy

Southfield's established residential neighborhoods have mature tree canopies that shade roofs, drop branches during storms, and clog gutters with leaves and debris. Atlas shingles with Scotchgard protector granules resist the algae growth that is common on shaded roofs throughout Southfield.

Local Roofing Insights for Southfield

South Southfield (8-10 Mile)

The neighborhoods south of 10 Mile Road have Southfield's oldest housing stock: 1950s-1960s ranches and bungalows with compact footprints and simple rooflines. These homes share similar construction with neighboring Oak Park and Ferndale. Most are on their second or third roof and frequently need ventilation upgrades and decking replacement during tear-off.

Central Neighborhoods (10-12 Mile)

The blocks between 10 Mile and 12 Mile Road feature 1960s-1970s colonials, split-levels, and tri-levels with larger footprints and more complex roof geometry. Multiple roof levels, valleys, and dormers require precise flashing work. These homes are entering the window where original or second-generation shingles are at or past their rated lifespan.

North Southfield (12 Mile+)

The northern neighborhoods approaching Beverly Hills and Birmingham have larger homes from the 1970s-1990s with more complex architecture and bigger roof areas. These are the most expensive residential roofing projects in Southfield but also the homes where quality and craftsmanship matter most to homeowners.

A City Investing in Itself

Southfield property values have been appreciating steadily. The city's central location, strong commercial tax base, and diverse neighborhoods make it a solid investment. A quality roof replacement protects that investment and improves curb appeal. Our Ferndale office serves all of Southfield's residential neighborhoods.

Building Permits & Codes in Southfield

Permit information for the City of Southfield 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 Southfield roof.

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.

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.

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.
