Redford Township's 1960s brick ranch neighborhoods — just north of Dearborn — combine solid mid-century construction with some of the area's most mature tree canopy. Big maples and oaks overhang a lot of roofs here, which means we spend as much time on tree-damage repair and gutter-driven eave issues as on shingles themselves. One call handles the roof and what the trees did to it.
Brick ranches with attached garages on generous lots, low-to-moderate pitches, and simple rooflines — the efficient 1960s formula. Many homes are on their second roof. The defining feature is the canopy: mature trees that drop limbs in storms and fill gutters every fall without fail.
Limb punctures and abrasion. Cause: branches rubbing or falling on shingles during wind events. Effect: punctured shingles, scraped granules, and cracked flashing — often in spots invisible from the ground.
Gutter-driven eave leaks. Cause: gutters packed with maple leaves and helicopters backing water up. Effect: water wicks under the eave course and rots fascia and the first feet of decking.
Aging second roofs. Cause: 90s–2000s replacement roofs now working through their second decade. Effect: flashing fatigue at every penetration and seal strips letting go in storms.
Tree-damage calls get the full treatment: punctures repaired with woven matched shingles, gutters cleared and re-pitched, fascia and eave decking checked for rot. We photograph limb damage for your records — useful if a neighbor's tree was involved. Shingle aging gets the honest assessment with close-up photos. Written quote before work, clean yard after.
