How do I know if I need roof repair or a full roof replacement?

It depends on the age of your roof, the type of damage, and how widespread the problem is. If you have a small leak, a few missing shingles, or damage in one area, a repair may be enough. If your roof is older, has repeated leaks, curling shingles, soft spots, or heavy storm damage, a full replacement is often the smarter long-term option. At 616 Custom Construction, we inspect the roof carefully and give you honest advice based on what your home actually needs.

How much does a new roof cost?

Roofing cost depends on the size of the roof, pitch, shingle or roofing material choice, tear-off needs, decking condition, and how much flashing or ventilation work is needed. Because every home is different, we provide a detailed estimate instead of a one-size-fits-all number. Our goal is to give you a fair price, explain the scope clearly, and help you understand exactly what you are paying for.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacements can be completed in one to a few days, depending on the size of the home, weather conditions, and the complexity of the roof. If repairs to the roof deck or other hidden issues are found after tear-off, the timeline can change. We keep you updated throughout the job so you always know what to expect.

Will my homeowners insurance cover roof damage?

Insurance may cover roof damage caused by sudden events like hail, wind, or fallen debris, but it usually does not cover wear and tear from age or lack of maintenance. We can help you understand what storm-related damage looks like and provide clear documentation for your claim if needed. We do not make promises on coverage, but we do help homeowners through the process with straightforward information.

What should I expect during the roofing process?

We start with an inspection and a clear estimate. Once your project is scheduled, we prepare the site, protect the surrounding areas, remove old roofing materials if needed, inspect the decking, and install the new roofing system. That includes key parts like underlayment, shingles, flashing, and ventilation details. We work hard to keep the job site organized and to minimize disruption to your home and routine.

Roofing Services | 616 Custom Construction

At 616 Custom Construction, we provide roofing services built around one simple goal: protect your home and give you peace of mind. Your roof is one of the most important parts of your property. It shields your family from rain, wind, snow, sun, and changing Michigan weather. When a roof starts to fail, small problems can turn into expensive repairs fast. That is why we take every roofing project seriously, from minor roof repairs to full roof replacement.

We work with homeowners who need dependable roofing solutions, clear communication, and quality workmanship. If your roof has missing shingles, storm damage, leaks, soft spots, sagging areas, aging materials, or visible wear, we can inspect the roof, explain what we find, and help you choose the right next step. Sometimes that means a targeted repair. Other times, the smartest long-term option is a complete new roofing system.

What our roofing service includes

Our roofing service covers the full process from inspection to final cleanup. We start by looking at the condition of the existing roof, including shingles, flashing, roof decking, ventilation, drainage areas, and other key components. We check for signs of water intrusion, wind damage, hail damage, worn materials, and installation issues that may be shortening the life of the roof.

Once we understand the condition of the roof, we walk you through the options in plain language. We believe homeowners should know what they are paying for and why it matters. We explain material choices, expected lifespan, problem areas, and the scope of work so you can make a confident decision.

Roof repair vs. roof replacement

One of the most common questions we hear is whether a roof can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced. The answer depends on the age of the roof, the extent of the damage, and how widespread the problem is. If damage is limited to one section, a repair may be the best path. If the roof is older, has repeated leaks, curling shingles, granule loss, or deeper structural concerns, replacement may save you more money over time.

We do not push work that is not needed. Our job is to give you an honest recommendation based on the actual condition of your roof. We want you to feel informed, not pressured. That approach helps our customers make smart decisions for both their home and their budget.

Common signs you may need roofing service

Water stains on ceilings or walls
Active roof leaks during rain or after snow melt
Missing, cracked, curled, or loose shingles
Bald spots where shingle granules have worn away
Damaged flashing around vents, chimneys, or roof edges
Sagging roof lines or soft spots in the decking
Moss, algae, or signs of trapped moisture
Higher energy bills caused by poor attic ventilation
A roof that is nearing the end of its service life

Materials and system components

A strong roof is more than just shingles. It is a system of parts working together to keep water out and help the home breathe properly. Depending on the project, our roofing work may involve underlayment, ice and water shield, drip edge, flashing, ridge components, ventilation products, fasteners, and replacement sheathing where needed. Every part has a job, and quality installation is just as important as the material itself.

Asphalt shingle roofing is one of the most popular options for residential homes because it offers a good balance of durability, appearance, and value. For many homeowners, it is a practical solution that performs well in a wide range of weather conditions. We help you understand the available options, color choices, and product features so you can choose a roof that fits both your home and your goals.

Why proper installation matters

Even the best roofing materials can fail if they are installed the wrong way. Poor workmanship can lead to leaks, blow-offs, premature aging, and hidden damage under the surface. We focus on doing the job right, with attention to detail at every step. That includes proper preparation, careful installation, protection of vulnerable areas, and a thorough cleanup when the work is complete.

Good roofing work also supports better home performance. A properly installed roof can help improve ventilation, reduce moisture problems, and protect insulation and attic spaces from damage. In the long run, that helps protect the value of your home and can prevent major repair costs.

Our process

We believe a roofing project should feel organized and straightforward. When you contact 616 Custom Construction, we begin with a conversation about the issues you are seeing and what you want to accomplish. Then we schedule an inspection, evaluate the roof, and provide a clear scope of work. If repairs are possible, we explain the repair plan. If replacement is the better choice, we outline what is involved so there are no surprises.

During the project, we work to keep the site safe and clean. We remove old roofing materials when needed, address damaged sections beneath the surface, install the new roofing components, and clean up debris at the end. Our goal is to leave you with a roof that looks good, performs well, and is built to last.
