Farmington Hills Roof Pros provides professional metal roofing in Farmington Hills, MI for residential and commercial properties across southwest Oakland County. Metal is the one product where the ownership question changes the answer completely, and we give two different recommendations depending on which side of the master deed your roof falls on.
If the roof is a general common element, our advice is usually to leave it alone. Converting a building from asphalt to standing seam alters an asset the association has to maintain forever, it breaks the visual match with every other building, and in most communities it needs a recorded modification and a board vote before a single panel goes up. Uniform appearance is usually a written requirement in the bylaws rather than a matter of taste.
There is also a cost of ownership nobody mentions at the meeting. A metal roof needs a contractor who works metal for its lifetime, and the association is committing successor boards to that for fifty years. We have talked more than one committee out of a demonstration building for exactly that reason and we would do it again. That is a fifty-year commitment made by five people at a meeting that runs ninety minutes.
On a detached home it is a genuinely good product and we are happy to install it. Concealed-fastener snap-lock or mechanically seamed panels in twenty-four gauge steel, a high-temperature underlayment under the whole field, clip spacing tightened at the rake and eave, and floating clips so a forty-foot panel can move through a hundred degree annual swing. Panel length matters here, because a long run moves more across a Michigan year than people expect.
The strongest case for metal here is not the whole house. It is the low-slope porch roof, the bay window cap, the dormer cheek and the entry overhang, where asphalt has no business being below a three-in-twelve pitch and where a soldered or seamed metal pan lasts three times as long as the shingle around it. Those are also the areas that fail first when they are shingled against the manufacturer's own advice.
What we will not sell is an exposed-fastener agricultural panel over an existing roof on a house. The screws back out, the neoprene washers harden in about a decade, and you get several hundred small holes in a roof that used to be watertight. It is cheap for a reason and the reason arrives on schedule. We have torn several of those off after twelve years and every one leaked at the fasteners.
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 metal roofing
The difference between metal roofing that lasts and metal 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.
The standards behind metal roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The metal roofing work we do in Farmington Hills follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every metal roofing project in Farmington Hills gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
