How we approach Grosse Pointe projects.
Some of these homes still carry original slate and tile, and where they do, repair and restoration are often better answers than replacement. We assess honestly: fastener and flashing failures can be corrected while the field material soldiers on for decades more.
Where replacement is right, we work with premium architectural and designer shingles that respect the original roof's visual weight, and we rebuild the details these roofs depend on near the lake's weather: copper valleys, chimney flashing, and properly lined built-in gutters.
Mature trees and lake-effect wet mean these roofs live a harder life than their pitch suggests. We correct ventilation, clear the way for real drainage, and detail the eaves against ice, then leave the grounds the way we found them, which in Grosse Pointe is a standard of its own.
