Sterling Heights Roof Pros provides professional flat & low-slope roofing in Sterling Heights, MI for residential and commercial properties across central Macomb County. Almost every low-slope roof we touch in Sterling Heights is a section rather than a whole building: the family room bump-out, the covered entry on a quad-level, the flat run over an attached garage, or the tie-in where a 1980s addition met the original ranch at a lower plane.
Those sections leak more than the main roof for two reasons. They collect what the main roof sheds, and they were usually built with a rolled asphalt product that was never rated for the pitch it went on. A three-in-twelve product laid at half-in-twelve is a five-year roof pretending to be a twenty-year one.
We replace them with fully adhered EPDM or mechanically attached TPO, both of which are rated flat and both of which tolerate the ponding these small sections inevitably develop. Membrane goes over a new half-inch cover board, not directly on old decking, and terminations are run up the wall under the siding with a proper counterflash rather than caulked to the surface.
The tie-in above is where the money actually goes. Where a shallow shingle plane discharges onto a membrane section, you need the shingle course to overhang onto the membrane, the membrane to run up under the shingle underlayment, and a metal transition that does not create a dam. Most of the failures we open up are a bead of sealant doing a job that needed flashing.
Drainage on these sections is worth arguing about. Many were built to drain across the membrane to a single scupper or a short gutter, which blocks with maple seed and ice every spring. We prefer to add a second outlet and an overflow, because a low-slope section that cannot drain becomes a load problem as well as a leak, and a saturated insulation layer over a truss bay weighs a great deal more than the design allowed.
We do not coat these sections as a first move, and we explain why on the coatings page. A membrane replacement on a two hundred square foot porch roof is not an expensive job, and it resets the clock properly instead of buying three years and making the eventual tear-off messier. If the section is genuinely sound and only the flashing has failed, we will say so and quote the flashing, usually a quarter of the price.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — metal truss connector plates, Fink truss webs, heel bearing over the exterior top plate, raised-heel energy trusses, H-clips between roof sheathing panels, seven-sixteenths OSB roof decking — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Sterling Heights and nearby communities including Utica, Shelby Township, Clinton Township, Macomb Township.

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 metal truss connector plates, Fink truss webs, heel bearing over the exterior top plate, raised-heel energy trusses, 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 Sterling Heights 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 central Macomb County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
