Sterling Heights Roof Pros provides professional roof inspections in Sterling Heights, MI for residential and commercial properties across central Macomb County. Our inspection runs backwards from most. We spend more time in the attic than on the shingles, because on a truss-framed house the frame tells you what the roof is going to do next and the shingles only tell you what it has already done.
Inside, we work through a fixed list. Every metal connector plate we can reach, checked for teeth that have backed out of the wood. The heel joints where the truss bears on the exterior top plate, which is the joint carrying the load path down into the wall. Web bracing and any continuous lateral restraint. Sheathing seams, H-clips, and whether nail points are rusted, which tells you how much moisture the attic has been carrying.
We look for evidence of alteration too, and we find it more often than you would expect. Somebody has cut a bottom chord for a pull-down attic ladder. Somebody has notched a web to run ductwork. Somebody has hung a storage platform across four trusses. Each of those changes a designed load path, and each is worth knowing about before you buy the house or before we put a new roof on it.
Outside, we get on whatever is safe to stand on and shoot the remainder from a pole camera. Granule condition and mat exposure by slope, since the south and west slopes on these long ranches age years ahead of the north. Boot collars, step and counter flashing, valley metal laps, ridge cap seal, drip edge fastening, and the pitch and outlet condition of the gutters.
You get a written report with dated photographs, a slope-by-slope condition grade and a plain statement of remaining service life in years rather than a vague recommendation. If that number is eight years, we write eight years, and we do not follow it with a replacement quote you did not ask for.
Pre-purchase buyers, sellers who want a clean report to hand over, and owners who simply want to know where they stand all use this. It is a flat fee, it is not a sales call, and the photo set is yours to take to any contractor in Macomb County. We also mark the date on every file, so a follow-up inspection two or three years later can be compared against it directly rather than from memory.
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 roof inspections
The difference between roof inspections that lasts and roof inspections 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.
