Tips to Help You Find the Best Roofing Contractor in Downriver Michigan

Choosing a roofing contractor to replace your home’s roof can be a challenging task as it can be difficult to know who to trust to perform such critical work on your home. With so many contractors to choose from it is easy to feel lost and not be sure where to start. To help you find the right roofer to work on your Downriver home, here are a few steps you should take as you begin your search.

  Get Referrals

One of the best ways to find a local, reliable roofer in your area is to ask friends, family, and neighbors for referrals. If the houses in your neighborhood were all built around the same time, then it is likely that you aren’t the only one getting a new roof. Asking your neighbors for referrals can be a great way to get first-hand accounts as to the quality of a roofer’s work, and what it was like to work with them. Additionally, getting a referral from someone who can vouch for a roofer reduces the risk that you will get scammed by a less than reputable contractor.

  Check Reviews and References

Of course, another great place to look as you narrow down your options is at online reviews. This can give you a wide range of perspectives as to the quality of a builder’s work and what it is like to do business with them. However, online reviews may not always be accurate, so it is critical that you meet with multiple builders in order to get a feel for who you may feel comfortable working with. Once you have narrowed down your list of builders to a couple of options, you should consider asking each of them for references. Reputable builders will be more than willing to provide contact information from recent clients who will vouch for the quality of their work.

  Check for Licensing and Insurance

When you meet with roofers as you continue to consider your options, it is important that you make sure that each contractor has the proper licensing and insurance. It is critical that any contractor working on your property has sufficient liability insurance, as you may find yourself being sued if an employee of an uninsured roofing company is injured on your property.

  While most states require roofers to be licensed, it is still important that you ask for proof of licensing as some unlicensed contractors will occasionally try to do roofing work. A reputable builder will understand why you are asking to see proof of licensing and insurance and will be more than willing to show you this documentation. If a contractor gives you a hard time when you ask to see these documents, then this is a sign that they may be trying to scam you and you should not work with them.

Check The Warranty

You should also ask potential roofers what kind of warranty your roof would come with, as the quality of the warranty may indicate the quality of the work they perform. A good roofer will provide an extended warranty, if not a lifetime warranty, that will guarantee your roof against potential defects and damage.

  Consider Longevity

When considering your options you should also take into account how long a roofer has been working in your area. Considering the critical role a roof plays in protecting your home you will want to find an experienced roofer, not someone who is new to your area. Choosing a roofer who has been working in your area for a long time also makes it more likely that they will be around for years to come, which is important as your warranty may not be worth much if a roofer goes out of business.

  Considering the importance of finding the right roofer, it is critical that you take your time and do not rush into making a decision. Contact us for additional advice on steps that you can take to find the best roofing contractor in Downriver Michigan.

Seeking an excellent roofing contractor in Brownstown, Michigan?

What can you do this summer to prepare for winter?

Winter? It seems strange, but in the world of construction, and among Michigan roofing contractors in particular, the chilly winds of autumn are not so far away. To get started, talk to the most qualified area roofing company and get an evaluation of the roof over your head. Downriver Roofers is the team that understands the buildings and local weather conditions of your region, including Brownstown, better than any other roofing contractors. After 20 years of personalized services to families and businesses in your town and nearby, we are the best qualified to bring you peace of mind and top quality roofing repairs or replacements.

First, Confirm Whether You Need A New Roof

If your roof is in poor shape, time is critical. Any seepage of moisture into the structure can cause other problems down the line. Getting an expert out to evaluate the need becomes a top priority. However, there’s a possibility that minor repairs could be effective, depending on the wear and tear your roof has experienced.

Trust your instincts and get a highly qualified expert out now to save time with a free inspection.

However, if you are unsure about the urgency of the situation, or if you are a confirmed do-it-yourselfer, we recommend using all or any of our quick checklist first.

Go into your unfinished attic for an interior inspection. (A finished attic will reveal far less)

On a sunny day, can you see light leaking in from the exterior of the roof?

Do you see water spots, rust stains or any other discoloration on the inside surfaces?

Find a safe place to view your roof’s exterior. Do you find any of the following issues?

Significant areas of moss or other small plants?

Damaged, warped or curled shingles?

Missing shingles or fragments of shingles?

We do not suggest you get up on a ladder yourself for an inspection. Ladder accidents rank among the most dangerous sources of household injuries and fatalities. If a ladder is required, our inspector will be happy to assume the risks safely, with professionalism and the depth of industry knowledge that makes a visual inspection swift, accurate and insightful.

We have a long track record of suggesting and completing minor repairs where a roof replacement is not needed or can sensibly be delayed for a few years, so you can trust us to offer all the viable choices if your roof needs urgent action.

When you call us, we can set up a time for your free inspection inspection, or just talk with you about what you’re already noticed. If it’s not a big deal, we’ll let you know the good news.

DownRiver Roofers Will Do the Job Right

At the end of the day, our Brownstown customers have the confidence and security of a new or repaired and refurbished roof, keeping properties safe and dry. As you know, it’s not just the results of the job that matter. The experience of working with our company is just as important.

We Assist with Your Insurance Claims

Is this a roofing emergency or has your roof sustained policy covered damage? We have significant experience with insurance paperwork, both with home and business claims.

We Offer More Payment Options, Including Easy Financing

We accept credit cards, checks, and money orders. We also offer our own straight-forward payment plans and financing options, including a zero down payment program so you can get your roof fixed right now.

Our Estimates and Inspections are Always Free

Always! We will never charge for quotes for our top-to-bottom interior and exterior roof inspections. We know how to give you the information you need.

We Provide a No-Leak Guarantee

Our roofs are built to resist harsh Michigan weather including rain, snow, hail, wind, ice, and the blistering summer sun. If it leaks, we fix it.

Every Complete New Roof has a Lifetime Warranty

Our roofs are made to last, and we stand behind our construction.

Need Help Now? We Are the Fastest Emergency Roofing Team Downriver

Are you reading this in the middle of the night as water pours in? Take a deep breath. Our roofing experts are on call 24/7, year-round to answer your emergency roofing calls.

No matter whether you are just checking up on your roof ahead of the colder months, getting around to urgent work you know you need, or even if you are in the midst of an emergency, we can help you now. We have provided the best roofing assistance for homes and businesses in the Brownstown, MI, area and nearby for more than 20 years now.  Please give us the opportunity to wow you with our service.

How to Keep Your Downriver Michigan Siding Clean Between Inspections

The outside of your house is one of the sturdiest parts of your property, designed to withstand constant sunlight and hold back the weather from your cozy interior. But siding doesn’t last forever. Most home siding is rated for one to three decades before it will need to be replaced and in that time, the best way to get good performance and appearance from your siding is to keep it clean and in good condition. Siding maintenance is an important part of any homeowner routine and should be thought about at least once a year.

Cleaning your siding doesn’t just look good, it’s also an important step in keeping your siding in good working order. Any gaps in your siding or possible decay can lead to structural damage, leaks from the rain, and insects building their homes in your siding or the wood of your house that the siding is supposed to protect. By keeping your siding clean, you clear out dirt or particles that could cause problems, discourage mold and mildew, and blast away any insects looking to settle in.

While every siding material and brand is a little different, here’s a quick guide to keeping your siding clean.

Choose Your Cleaning Supplies

The first thing to decide is what you’re going to clean your siding with. We suggest that everyone start with a long soft-bristled siding brush to save your elbows and back from stooping and working at odd angles while you scrub a vertical surface. If your house is two-story, be sure to have a safe ladder.

Aluminum and Vinyl siding is best cleaned with TSP or Trisodium Phosphate which loosens grime without damaging the surface. But be careful, this is a fairly harsh chemical. For wood siding, use an approved outdoor cleaner or a little bleach mixed with a lot of water to discourage mildew, rot, and insects. Fill a bucket with your cleaning solution, grab the brush and you’re good to go.

Work On an Overcast Day

One odd challenge in cleaning siding is when your cleaning solution dries in the sun before you have a chance to rinse it off, which can result in residue and a less than ideal cleaning process. To prevent this, we advise choosing a cool or overcast day which will reduce the amount of evaporation that occurs on your siding while you clean.

Scrub from Bottom to Top

Many people start their siding wash in a random manner, choosing a section and simply brushing it in whatever way feels easiest. However, from experience, we can tell you that this is a good way to wind up with streaks and drips. Instead, the right way to clean siding with your long-handled brush is to start at the bottom and work your way up to the top. Don’t be shy about keeping your brush very wet with cleaner as you go. When you get to the top, then rinse from the top down to run all loosened dirt and grim all the way to the ground.

Work in Sections

Finally, don’t try to get an entire side of your house at once working from bottom to top. Instead, choose to focus on three to ten foot wide sections to concentrate your work and make sure you give each section of siding the attention it needs. There’s no need to mark off your sections because the difference should be overwhelmingly evident between the clean and dirty sections of your siding. Be sure to rinse a section right after you finish scrubbing so the cleaning solution does not dry on your siding.

Keeping your siding clean will keep the bugs away, prevent environmental decay, lengthen the lifespan of your siding, and improve the external appearance of your home. If you need siding inspection or repair services in the Downriver Michigan area, call us at 734-548-9919 or come find us at 14586 Northline Rd #2, Southgate, MI 48195.
