Roof Replacement in Tecumseh

Roof Replacement for Tecumseh homes

Tecumseh combines established neighbourhoods near the Lake St. Clair shoreline with newer subdivisions and rural properties to the south. Tecumseh homes closer to Lake St. Clair can take stronger gusts off the water than inland streets. On those roofs we pay extra attention to starter strips at the edges, the nailing pattern and the ridge cap, because those are the spots where wind lifts shingles first.

What's included

Full tear-off and a complete new asphalt shingle roof system, from the deck up to the ridge cap. Depending on your roof, the work can include:

• Complete tear-off
• Deck inspection and repair
• Eave and valley protection
• Underlayment and drip edge
• Shingles and flashing
• Ventilation
• Inspection.
• Written quote.
• Install day.
• Cleanup.

Local conditions in Tecumseh

Exposure to wind off Lake St. Clair makes edge details, starter strips and nailing patterns especially important on Tecumseh roofs. Larger lots and outbuildings further from the lake also make Tecumseh a common place for metal roofing on garages, workshops and homes.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for roof replacement in Tecumseh, get clear answers to these before signing:

• Will you tear off all existing layers, and how will you price any decking that needs replacing?
• How far up the roof will ice and water protection go at the eaves, and will valleys be lined?
• What is your ventilation plan for my attic?
• Is the shingle installation done to the manufacturer's specifications for warranty coverage?
• How will you protect my landscaping and clean up nails?

Permits and approvals

Building permits in Tecumseh are issued by the Town of Tecumseh's building department. Replacing a roof with similar materials usually doesn't require a permit, but structural changes, new roof framing and new skylight openings typically do. We confirm requirements for your property before work starts.
