What Sets Roofing Army Apart in Sterling Heights

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 Sterling Heights Homeowners Face

Sterling Heights sits in Macomb County on relatively flat terrain, which means homes face the full impact of Michigan's weather without the partial protection that hills or dense tree cover provide elsewhere. Winter brings heavy snow, sustained freezing temperatures, and frequent ice storms. The flat topography means wind speeds during spring and summer storms can be higher, increasing shingle blow-off risk.

Ice Dams on 1960s-1970s Homes

Many Sterling Heights homes built in the 1960s and 1970s have ventilation systems that do not meet current standards. Heat escapes into the attic, melts snow unevenly, and ice dams form at the eaves. The flat terrain means snow sits on roofs longer without sliding off. Proper ventilation and ice and water shield during a roof replacement prevent this permanently.

Wind Damage on Flat Terrain

Sterling Heights' flat terrain offers no natural wind protection. Spring and summer thunderstorms bring sustained winds that lift shingle tabs, blow off ridge caps, and drive rain under damaged shingles. The open areas around Van Dyke Avenue and M-59 can create wind acceleration. If you notice storm damage, call us for a free inspection.

Outdated Attic Ventilation

Homes from the 1960s through 1980s were built with ventilation standards that fall well short of current code. Without proper airflow, attics trap summer heat (shortening shingle life) and winter moisture (promoting mold and ice dams). We do a full ventilation analysis on every Sterling Heights project and install the right combination of intake and exhaust for each home.

Second and Third Generation Roofs

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

Mature Trees and Storm Debris

Sterling Heights' established neighborhoods have mature tree canopies that shade roofs, drop branches during storms, and deposit leaves that clog gutters. The shade promotes algae growth on north-facing slopes. Atlas shingles with Scotchgard protector granules resist the algae streaking common on shaded Sterling Heights roofs.

Local Roofing Insights for Sterling Heights

South Sterling Heights (14 Mile to 16 Mile)

The southern neighborhoods near 14 Mile Road and Van Dyke feature homes from the 1960s and 1970s: tri-levels, ranches, and colonials with original or second-generation roofing systems. These are Sterling Heights' oldest residential areas and most likely to need full tear-off, decking replacement, and ventilation upgrades during a roof replacement.

Central Neighborhoods (17-18 Mile)

Moving north to 17 Mile and 18 Mile Roads, the homes were built in the 1980s and 1990s with larger footprints and more complex roof geometry. Colonials with dormers, hip-to-gable transitions, and multiple valleys are common. These homes are entering the window where original shingles are at or past their rated lifespan.

North Sterling Heights (19 Mile+)

The newest developments north of 19 Mile Road have modern construction with varied architectural styles and larger roof areas. While these homes have better original ventilation, the builder-grade shingles are now 15 to 20 years old and showing wear on UV-exposed planes.

Utica Community Schools Area

The northeast neighborhoods in the Utica Community Schools district include well-maintained family homes where homeowners are investing in upgrades. Whether your Sterling Heights home is a 1,200 square foot ranch near Dodge Park or a 2,800 square foot colonial near Lakeside Mall, our Rochester Hills office is a short drive away.

Building Permits & Codes in Sterling Heights

The City of Sterling Heights requires a building permit for all residential re-roofing work. The application fee is $55 (non-refundable). Permits can be submitted online through the city portal.

The building department is at 40555 Utica Road, Sterling Heights, MI 48313. Phone: 586-446-2360. The city also offers an "Ask an Inspector" program where residents can schedule appointments to discuss code questions by calling 586-446-2404.

We handle all Sterling Heights permits, fees, and inspections for every project.

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 Sterling Heights roof.

Signs You Need a New Roof in Sterling Heights

Not sure if your roof needs attention? Here are the warning signs Sterling Heights 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 Sterling Heights

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

3

4

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.

I had a roof inspection performed. Scott came by on time, immediately went up on the roof and performed his inspection. He came down and told me that my roof is perfectly fine and to contact him in a couple more years. Their company is honest, respectful, and has integrity.
