Roofing in Franklin, MI
In Franklin the Historic District Commission approves your shingle by brand and color, and the building department will not issue a permit until it does. On 1 October 2025 the commission took up 32663 Franklin Road and approved a tear-off and complete reroof, excluding the metal portion of the roof.
The motion named the product: Landmark CertainTeed architectural shingles in the color Driftwood, found consistent with standard nine of the Secretary of the Interior's standards. That is the level of specificity a Franklin application has to survive, and it is why we bring physical samples to the village rather than a printed color chart.
The deadlines are in the village's own design guidelines. Once the building department has a complete application, the commission must meet and review it within thirty-five days and must approve or disapprove within sixty. Work cannot begin until a certificate of appropriateness or a notice to proceed has actually been issued.
The authority matters more than the listing. Franklin's district went on the National Register on 13 February 1969, the first in Michigan to do so, but a National Register listing does not control what a private owner puts on a private roof. The local ordinance adopted in November 1971 is the instrument that does.
Those two boundaries are similar and not identical, so the honest first question on a Franklin house is which district your parcel actually falls in. Outside the local district you are dealing with the building department alone. Inside it, the guidelines ask you to replace deteriorated roofing in kind, matching design, dimension, color and material.
They also say that adding dormers, balconies, vents or skylights is not appropriate where it compromises the historic character of the building, and that mechanical equipment on a roof belongs on inconspicuous elevations. A ridge vent decision in this village is an application on an agenda, not a call the crew makes on the day.
Franklin is 99.5 percent single-unit detached and 98.2 percent owner-occupied across 1,103 units, the highest owner-occupancy figure on this list. Median value is 774,900 dollars. There is essentially no association here to argue with, and the party you have to persuade instead meets on a Wednesday evening at the Broughton House on Franklin Road. Bring the shingle, not a photograph of the shingle, and bring it before the tear-off is scheduled.
About Franklin, MI — and why local matters here
Franklin sits in Oakland County with a population of roughly 3,139, close enough to Farmington Hills that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Franklin Cider Mill, the Franklin village historic district.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Franklin properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Oakland County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.

Roofing work we do in Franklin, MI
Farmington Hills Roof Pros covers the same range of work in Franklin that we do in Farmington Hills — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Tile Roofing — We service tile in Farmington Hills and we very rarely recommend installing it. There are a few hundred tile roofs in this part of Oakland County, most of them on custom homes from the eighties, and almost every one of them has cost its owner more than it should have.
- Flat & Low-Slope Roofing — Low-slope roofing in this city is mostly not on houses. It is on the shared structures: clubhouses, pool buildings, detached carport rows, mail kiosks and the flat tops behind the mansard fascias on 1970s retail.
- Roof Coatings & Sealing — Coatings have one honest use in this market and a great many dishonest ones. On a sound low-slope membrane or an aging metal deck they buy real years.
- Roof Ventilation — Ventilation is one of the few roof questions where an attached building behaves nothing like a detached one, because in a row of units the attic over your ceiling may not stop where your walls do. Some Michigan townhouse and ranch condominium buildings run one continuous attic the whole length of the structure, interrupted only by draftstop partitions that slow fire and do almost nothing to slow air.
- Skylights — Skylights are the one product on this site that we will refuse outright, and only for one reason. If the roof is a general common element, we will not cut an opening in it without a signed modification agreement.
- Fascia & Soffit — Nearly every house in this city has its original pine fascia hidden under aluminum trim capping, and the wrap is the reason nobody notices the wood behind it is gone until a gutter comes off the wall. Capping was standard on the 1970s and 1980s builds and on almost every re-side since.
