Farmington Hills Roof Pros provides professional flat & low-slope roofing in Farmington Hills, MI for residential and commercial properties across southwest Oakland County. 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.
That distinction matters because those structures are general common elements in almost every community here, including the detached site condominiums where every house is privately owned. The carport over your parking space belongs to the association even though the roof over your bedroom does not, and the two get quoted on separate documents. That one distinction decides which document a carport re-roof belongs on and which budget pays for it.
On houses the low-slope areas are the additions. A family room built off the back in 1984, a covered porch, a second-floor cantilever, a garage roof that ties into a wall. All of them were built somewhere between one and three in twelve, all of them got shingles anyway, and all of them leak at roughly the same age. Shingles below three in twelve rely on lap alone, and lap alone does not hold against snowmelt.
The fix is a membrane, not a better shingle. Fully adhered TPO at sixty or eighty mil on the small ones, EPDM where dense penetrations make seaming awkward, and two-ply modified bitumen anywhere the deck takes foot traffic. The transition up under the shingle course above it is detailed with a metal counterflashing rather than a bead of sealant. Membrane choice matters far less than the quality of the flashing at the wall above it.
Ponding is the other job. Carport decks and clubhouse roofs in this era were framed dead flat and the drainage was optimistic. Tapered polyisocyanurate laid to a quarter-inch fall costs real money and it is the difference between a membrane that lasts twenty-five years and one that grows a pond and fails at a seam in nine. A pond that has been sitting there since 1979 is a framing problem rather than a membrane problem.
Where a low-slope roof is sound we will tell you to leave it and just fix the terminations. Most membrane failures we open up are at a wall flashing, a drain sump or a pitch pocket that was never maintained, and rebuilding those details for a few hundred dollars buys years on a field that is otherwise fine. Rebuilding terminations is unglamorous work and we quote it as gladly as a full replacement.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — self-adhered ice barrier at the eave course, laminated architectural shingles rated to ASTM D3161 Class F, six-nail fastening pattern on every course, aluminum-wrapped pine sub-fascia, draftstopped attic partition above a party wall, cricket saddle framed behind a wide chimney — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Farmington Hills and nearby communities including Farmington, Livonia, Northville, Plymouth.

Materials, equipment and how we do flat & low-slope roofing
The difference between flat & low-slope roofing that lasts and flat & low-slope roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with self-adhered ice barrier at the eave course, laminated architectural shingles rated to ASTM D3161 Class F, six-nail fastening pattern on every course, aluminum-wrapped pine sub-fascia, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Farmington Hills job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in southwest Oakland County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Farmington Hills Chooses Farmington Hills Roof Pros
- ✓We ask for the master deed and the bylaws before we measure anything, because the article listing general common elements decides who is legally allowed to buy this roof.
- ✓On a detached site condominium the home and its roof are yours, and we say so plainly instead of sending you to a board with no authority over either.
- ✓Association quotes arrive per building with a remaining-life column, so twelve roofs can be phased across three budget years rather than funded by one special assessment.
- ✓Gutters and chimneys get their own document when the deed assigns them to the co-owner and the deck to the association, because a single invoice cannot cross that line.
