Cost & financing

How much does a roof replacement cost in Oakland County?

It depends on four things: the size of the roof, its pitch, how many layers come off, and the roofing system you choose. Your free in-home inspection ends with a clear written estimate showing Good, Better and Best side by side.

How much does siding replacement cost?

It depends on the size of your home, how many walls are being replaced, the siding you choose, and the trim and details around it. Your free in-home inspection ends with a clear written estimate, so you know the full price before you sign.

Do you offer roof and siding financing?

Yes, financing is available.* Ask your estimator about it during your free in-home inspection and estimate.
*For qualified buyers through Service Finance. Subject to credit approval; the lender sets terms.

How do I apply?

Your estimator can walk you through the Service Finance application during your visit, once you have your written estimate.

Who decides if I qualify?

Service Finance does. The lender sets eligibility, rates and terms. Applying is subject to credit approval, and approval is not guaranteed.

Do I have to decide on financing before my estimate?

No. Your free in-home inspection and estimate come first, with no obligation to buy. You can ask about financing when you review your written estimate.

Roof replacement

Do you remove the old shingles?

Yes. Every replacement is a full tear-off down to the structural deck. We never lay a new roof over an old one.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most roof replacements take a few days. Larger or steeper roofs, extra layers and rain can add time.

Who manages my installation?

Our production team, from our pre-installation site visit to the final walkthrough.

What warranty comes with a new roof?

Two warranties. Malarkey's standard Limited Lifetime shingle warranty, with full coverage (no depreciation) for the first 10, 15 or 20 years depending on the shingle you choose, plus Stormshield's own workmanship warranty, with its term written into your contract.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Michigan?

Yes, in most cases. Stormshield checks your city's permit rules and pulls any required permit for you.

Storm damage & insurance

Can you help with storm damage?

Yes. We inspect the roof and document the damage for your claim. Your insurer decides what's covered.

Does hail in my area mean I need a new roof?

No. Storm reports don't establish damage to a specific roof. An on-site inspection is needed to know.

Can you meet with my insurance adjuster?

Yes. Adjuster coordination is part of our storm-damage service. We share the inspection findings and photos.

Will insurance cover my roof?

Your insurer decides coverage under your policy. We provide clear documentation; we don't promise a particular outcome.

Can I get an inspection without filing a claim?

Yes. Many homeowners get an inspection first, then decide whether to file.

Siding

Do you do siding as a separate project?

Yes. You can get siding replacement without a new roof.

What's the best time of year to replace siding in Michigan?

Spring through fall is the most common time, because vinyl siding gets brittle in freezing temperatures and is harder to install well. Ask your estimator about scheduling for your home.
