Farmington Hills homeowners. A roofer, not a call center, gets back to you.
Farmington Hills leaks start where the roof changes
On the ranches, tri-levels and colonials that make up most of Farmington Hills, leaks rarely start in the middle of a slope. They start where something interrupts the shingles: a brick chimney with worn counterflashing, a plumbing vent with a cracked rubber boot, the step flashing where a garage roof meets a second-story wall, or the joint where a newer addition was tied into the original roof.
Tri-levels add another weak spot. The lower roof often runs under a wall of the upper level, and if the flashing there was never done right, water gets behind the siding and shows up inside months later. Shade from big trees adds damp shingles, moss and leaves that hold water in the valleys.
We trace the water from the attic and the roof, photograph the cause and fix it the right way: new boots, rebuilt flashing, replaced shingles and sealed nail lines. If what we find says the roof as a whole is near the end, we tell you and show you why, so you can weigh a repair, a rejuvenation or a replacement with the facts in hand.
Common roof repairs in Farmington Hills
Michigan weather finds the weak spots. These are the problems we fix most often.
Roof leaks
We trace water back to where it enters, not where it drips, and seal the source.
Missing or lifted shingles
Wind breaks the seal on older tabs. We replace them and match the existing roof as closely as possible.
Flashing repair
Chimney, wall and skylight flashing that has pulled loose or rusted through is reset or replaced.
Pipe boots & vents
Rubber boots around plumbing vents crack in the sun and let water run down the pipe.
Ice dam damage
Ice backing up under the shingles at the eaves can soak the decking and ceilings below.
Storm damage
Hail bruises and wind creases are documented with photos and repaired or scoped for your adjuster.
When a repair is the right call
A repair makes sense when the damage is isolated and the rest of the roof is sound. A handful of missing shingles, one leaking boot or a section of flashing does not mean you need a new roof.
When shingles are curling, cracking and shedding granules across the whole roof, or the decking is soft in several places, repairs start chasing problems. At that point replacement usually costs less over time. If the shingles are drying out but still sound, roof rejuvenation may add years before you need either.
We give you the honest answer, with photos, and a written estimate for the options that fit your roof.

Homeowners mention the photos and the straight talk most.
“Kincaide did a phenomenal job fixing up my garage roof and siding. They also cleaned up the area after so my dog wouldn’t get hurt. Everytime there was any issue found during installation, they provided picture evidence. They also were the best cost when compared to other companies. Highly recommend.”
“Kincaide roofing went above and beyond our expectations. Scott (the owner) took pictures of every step and fix he made. They were punctual, thorough and very professional. No B.S. with Scott, the communication was straight forward and gave us briefings every night before they left.”
“Very awesome, professional experience with Kincaide!!! Scott and his crew is wonderful. They do good work, really put things in terms so that people can understand things better. We will definitely be sticking with KINCAIDE!!!”
Trees, limbs and the repairs they cause
Farmington Hills has a heavy tree canopy, and the roofs under it show it.
Mature oaks and maples line streets from Eight Mile north to Fourteen Mile, and they are a big part of why the city looks the way it does. They are also behind a lot of repair calls. Branches rub and scrape shingles in the wind, limbs come down in summer storms and under heavy snow, and leaves pile up in valleys and behind chimneys where they hold water against the roof through freeze-thaw cycles.
We check those spots on every repair visit and let you know if a branch over the roof is likely to cause trouble next season.
Limb damage
Cracked or punctured shingles and bent vents after a branch comes down in wind or under snow.
Packed valleys
Leaves and debris that dam up valleys and the backs of chimneys, pushing water under the shingles.
Moss on shady slopes
North-facing and shaded roofs that stay damp, lift shingle edges and wear out sooner.
