Royal Oak roofs that respect what makes the house worth keeping.

Royal Oak's housing stock is the most architecturally distinct in southeast Michigan — Vinsetta bungalows, Tudor revivals, four-squares, English cottages, mid-century moderns, mostly built between 1915 and 1955.

What we see most in Royal Oak.

Original wood-plank decking. A lot of pre-1950 Royal Oak homes have 1x6 or 1x8 wood plank decking. Beautiful, and full of surprises.
Severe original ventilation problems. Pre-AC homes built without ridge vents and often without continuous soffit intake.
Steep pitches, small footprints. Most Royal Oak bungalows are 12/12 or steeper on the upper story.
Ice dam history. Older homes with poor insulation upstairs are textbook ice-dam candidates.
Standing seam upgrade on dormers and porches. Lots of Royal Oak Tudor and Colonial homes get a partial metal accent on the front porch overhang or bay window.

What we install in Royal Oak

Roofs that read right on a Royal Oak street.

Architectural asphalt — period-appropriate colors

Charcoal, Weathered Wood, and Hickory are the colors that read most authentically on Royal Oak bungalows and Tudors. We talk you out of bright reds and blues.

Standing seam accents

A common Royal Oak project is asphalt on the main roof and standing seam on the front porch, bay window, or dormer.

City of Royal Oak permits.

Royal Oak requires a building permit and a final inspection on every roof replacement. We pull, schedule, close out. If your home is in a local historic district, additional review may be required — we'll flag it in your estimate.
