Ann Arbor Roofing Installation Built for Michigan Winters

Ann Arbor homeowners face demanding roofing conditions. The city's humid continental climate brings heavy lake-effect snow, ice dams, freeze-thaw cycles that stress flashing and underlayment, and summer thunderstorms that can lift poorly secured shingles. Neighborhoods like Burns Park, Kerrytown, and the Old West Side include aging craftsman bungalows and mid-century colonials, many approaching the end of their original roof's useful life. Communities just outside Ann Arbor, including Ypsilanti, Saline, and Dexter, face the same pressures and can count on us for the same quality.



Choosing materials rated for Michigan's climate is critical. As an experienced roofing installation contractor, we install roofing systems selected to hold up through the full range of Southeast Michigan weather, including options well-suited to the steep-slope residential roofs common in Ann Arbor's older neighborhoods.

Material Options for Ann Arbor Homes

We offer a range of materials to match different home styles, roof pitches, and budgets.

  • Architectural asphalt shingles: A durable, affordable option well-suited to Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles, available in a wide range of colors and profiles.
  • Metal roofing: Long-lasting and energy-efficient, with strong resistance to ice and snow loads.
  • Flat and low-slope commercial membrane systems: including Duro-Last, installed at over two million square feet across Southeast Michigan, with a complete warranty against leaks.
  • Siding and gutter integration: We can coordinate roof installation with siding and gutter system upgrades for a complete exterior solution.

How Long Does Roofing Installation Take in Ann Arbor?

Most residential installations can be completed in one to three days, depending on home size, materials, and weather. Larger or more complex projects may take longer. As a full-service roofing installation contractor, we work year-round and schedule projects efficiently regardless of season.

The Barnett Roofing Installation Process

  1. Free estimate and roof inspection: One of our representatives assesses your roof, measures the project scope, and walks you through material options.
  2. Material selection and scheduling: You choose the system that fits your home and budget, and we schedule installation at a convenient time.
  3. Site preparation and tearoff: We remove the existing roofing, then inspect and repair the deck before new material goes down.
  4. Installation of underlayment and roofing system: We apply high-quality underlayment first, followed by your selected roofing material installed to manufacturer and local code specifications.
  5. Final inspection and site cleanup: We inspect the installation for quality and perform a thorough cleanup, including magnet sweeps for nails.

Warranty Coverage You Can Count On

Our certified installer status may unlock manufacturer-backed extended warranty programs. Commercial Duro-Last installations may carry a 15-year warranty. Ask about warranty specifics during your free estimate. 

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How Do I Know if My Ann Arbor Home Needs a New Roof?

    Look for missing or curling shingles, persistent leaks, granule loss in gutters, or visible sagging. Ann Arbor homes exposed to repeated ice dam cycles may have underlayment failure that repair alone cannot fix. A free inspection from our team can confirm whether full replacement is the right next step.

  • What Roofing Materials Work Best for Ann Arbor's Climate?

    Architectural asphalt shingles rated for impact and wind resistance perform well here. Metal roofing is also a strong choice for its snow-shedding ability and longevity. We can help you compare options based on your roof pitch, home age, and neighborhood aesthetic.

  • Is Barnett Roofing Licensed and Insured in Michigan?

    Yes. We are fully licensed and insured and hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, giving homeowners and businesses added confidence that their project is in qualified hands.

  • Can Barnett Roofing Install a New Roof During Michigan Winter?

    Yes. We operate year-round and are experienced with cold-weather installation best practices specific to Southeast Michigan, so Ann Arbor homeowners do not need to wait until spring to begin their project.
