Rochester Hills Roofing Company For Repair + Replacement
Most people don't think about their roof until something goes wrong. But when that happens, you need a contractor you can trust. At Orange Roofing, the owner handles inspections in person and stays involved throughout the job. We don't subcontract, we don't cut corners on materials, and we communicate with transparency at all times. Our team uses high-quality products that hold up to the local freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, and summer heat.
And furthermore, most of our roof replacements are finished in a single day because we come prepared, and we know what we're doing. Whether you're dealing with a leak, storm damage, or aging shingles, we'll inspect the full roof structure, including the attic, and give you an honest evaluation.

What You Might Not See From the Ground
Homeowners often call us because of something they saw from the yard, a shingle curled up, a small water spot in the hallway, or granules in the gutter. But what you see isn't always the full picture. Many of the roofing problems we uncover during inspections are structural or ventilation-related, not just surface damage.
Roof Decking, Rafters, and Vents
We go beyond a quick look around the edge of the house. Our inspections include time in the attic where we can check airflow, note temperature differences, evaluate how insulation touches structural surfaces, and identify any signs of moisture. Outside, we look at the condition of the roof deck, examine flashing, and make sure the vent system is actually sized for the roof it's serving. Every spot where water could sneak in gets our attention.
Spot Repairs vs. Deeper Problems
Some issues can be isolated. A missing shingle or cracked boot seal doesn't always mean the whole roof is failing. But sometimes those small symptoms reveal a deeper problem, like trapped moisture under the decking or heat pockets that bake the shingles from the inside out. We explain the full scope before starting any work.
Roof Repairs That Go Beyond Surface Fixes
Our repair work focuses on performance. If a vent collar has failed, we replace the collar and check for water intrusion. If flashing has peeled away, we correct the problem and inspect the valley or chimney for material fatigue. These are the spots where fast repairs often fail. We've seen plenty of patched roofs with mismatched materials or caulk used where flashing should have gone.
Our crew handles repairs on a range of roof styles, from steep-pitched gables to low-slope additions. If part of your roof has developed an ice dam problem or always leaks during spring thaw, it's likely an airflow or drainage problem, and we have the experience to solve it properly.
When a New Roof is the Right Call
We don't push replacements unless the numbers make sense. If your roof is over 20 years old, has multiple problem areas, or shows signs of long-term moisture buildup, a full tear-off may actually be the cheaper option long term. A quality roof installed with the right prep work can last three decades or more.
During a full replacement, we strip down to the decking and assess every structural component. If the sheathing is soft, we replace it. If the rafter spacing isn't standard, we adjust our approach accordingly. The new roof is only as good as the surface it's nailed to, so we make sure nothing is hiding beneath the old materials.
Choosing Roofing Materials That Will Last
We work with asphalt shingles, standing seam metal panels, and specialty materials for accent areas like porches or dormers. In Rochester Hills, the most common option is architectural shingles, they balance appearance, durability, and cost better than traditional three-tab styles.
We often recommend shingles with Class 3 or Class 4 impact ratings for homes surrounded by trees or exposed to wind. These products resist hail and won't shed granules as quickly. We can also talk through roof colors and finishes that reflect UV rays, helping to reduce attic heat and lower your cooling bill in the summer.
What Roof Shape Means for Installation
Homes in Rochester Hills vary a lot in design. We've worked on classic colonials with intersecting roof planes, mid-century homes with large overhangs, and newer developments with dormers and multiple slope changes. Every shape introduces new drainage angles, shingle patterns, and flashing points to consider.
Before we start the job, we lay out a detailed plan based on your home's geometry. If the pitch is uneven or there are structural transitions, we adjust our prep work to make sure there's no weak point once everything is installed. Roofs with multiple valleys and hips require more detailed flashing and ice protection, which we include in every plan.
Structural and Hidden Issues We Look For
Rotten fascia, delaminated decking, sagging ridgelines, or improperly vented soffits can all compromise your roof's lifespan. We address these issues directly. If a section of decking has failed because of years of slow leaks, we remove and replace the damaged material. If air isn't flowing correctly through the attic, we make mechanical changes to intake and exhaust ventilation.
Some of the worst problems we've seen were entirely avoidable, usually because the last roofer didn't bother to look underneath. That's not how we work. We fix what matters, and we document the process clearly.
Roofers in Rochester Hills and Nearby Areas
We work across Rochester Hills and surrounding communities like Auburn Hills, Oakland Township, Shelby Township, and Troy. We know the roofing styles in each of these neighborhoods well, and we understand how wind, trees, and sun patterns affect the wear and tear on different roof slopes.
Call us at 734-740-1361 if you need an in-person inspection or if you're ready to plan a roof replacement. We don't believe in rushed jobs or generic estimates. You'll get answers from someone who's climbed the roof themselves.
Roofing Work FAQs
Can you replace my roof in winter?
Yes, depending on the temperature and snow levels. We follow manufacturer installation guidelines and won't install in conditions that could compromise the material.
What does a roof inspection involve?
We check shingle condition, flashing, vent systems, roof geometry, attic airflow, and the structure underneath. Photos and detailed notes come standard.
How long do repairs usually take?
Most minor repairs are completed in half a day. Larger repairs that involve structural corrections or multiple sections may take a full day.
Should I upgrade to metal?
Metal works well in certain situations. It lasts longer and sheds snow better but costs more up front. We'll help you compare performance, cost, and aesthetics.
Do you offer written warranties?
Yes. All of our work is covered by a workmanship guarantee, and the materials we use include manufacturer warranties as well.
