Sterling Heights Roof Pros provides professional full roof replacement in Sterling Heights, MI for residential and commercial properties across central Macomb County. A replacement in Sterling Heights is a load question before it is a shingle question. Most houses here went up after 1970 on factory-built trusses, and each was engineered for one layer of covering over a 25 pound ground snow load.
So we tear off to the deck every time and we do not offer a layover. A second layer of laminated asphalt puts another two and a half pounds onto every square foot of the plane, which nobody drew into the original design. It also hides the two things that decide how long the assembly lasts: the metal connector plates at the truss joints, and whether the heel still bears tight on the exterior top plate.
Before the quote goes out, someone walks the attic with a light and a camera. Plate teeth back out of lumber that has been through enough wet-dry cycles, and a heel plate with visible daylight behind it is a repair we price on its own line. That repair needs a stamped detail from a registered design professional, because Michigan's residential code is explicit that no truss member may be cut, notched, drilled or spliced without one.
Then the deck. Subdivisions built here through the 1970s and 1980s typically ran seven-sixteenths OSB or half-inch plywood over 24-inch truss spacing with H-clips carrying the unsupported panel edges. Missing or popped clips read as a ripple along every seam once the old shingles are off. We replace panels that feel soft underfoot and re-clip the rest rather than laying new shingles over a wavy plane and calling it flat.
Underlayment is where a Macomb County winter gets decided. Ice and water membrane runs from the eave to a line 24 inches inside the exterior wall, which on a standard shallow-heel truss sits further up the slope than most crews assume, because the roof is climbing so little over the wall. Valleys get membrane full length. The rest of the field gets a synthetic sheet that will not wrinkle under the new shingles.
On a typical four-in-twelve gable off Dodge Park Road, a laminated architectural shingle over a properly vented deck is the right answer, and we say so even though the premium designer lines carry a better margin. Put the difference into intake ventilation, valley metal and flashing. Those are what fail first here.
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 full roof replacement
The difference between full roof replacement that lasts and full roof replacement 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.
