We’ve been climbing Clinton Township roofs since 1984. We know the brick ranches off Garfield Road and the colonials near Metropolitan Parkway. We know how lake-effect snow off Lake St. Clair piles heavier and wetter here than it does twenty minutes west in Sterling Heights. And we know that homeowners in this township - especially those on acreage with detached workshops - don’t want a sales pitch. They want the job done once, done right, and done without a callback.
Why Ridgeline Roofing Co. Is Clinton Township’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
Our reputation in Clinton Township was built one roof at a time, not through mailers or door-knocking. Homeowners here talk to their neighbors. They remember who showed up after the 2019 ice storm and who disappeared. We’ve earned that trust by keeping our word - we will be there when we say - and by backing every job with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it is not right, we make it right. No paperwork, no arguing.
Response time matters in a township where a small leak above the living room picture window can turn into stained drywall by March. Our dispatch is local, our materials are stocked for Macomb County jobs, and our crews know the difference between the older 48035 subdivisions and the newer 48038 builds without GPS.
Every technician we send is background-checked, uniformed, and trained to document your roof with photos from the actual surface - not a drone flyover, not a ladder leaned against the gutter. You see what we see. That standard has not changed since Pete Navarro founded this company in 1984.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Clinton Township
Full Roof Replacement
Clinton Township’s post-WWII building boom - concentrated in the 1960s and 1970s - means thousands of brick ranch and brick colonial homes are hitting their second or third roof cycle right now. The original three-tab shingles from that era are failing en masse, and first-generation architectural shingles from the 1990s are crossing the 25-year mark. We strip to the deck, inspect for rot, and install a complete system: underlayment, ice-and-water shield at critical valleys and eaves, proper ventilation, and your choice of shingles. On a recent job in the 48035 ZIP off Romeo Plank, we replaced a failing original 1970s three-tab roof on a brick ranch with a full CertainTeed Landmark Pro system. The low front-slope roofline had ice-dam-driven leaks above the picture window every February, so we installed a continuous ice-and-water shield and new step flashing to break the cycle.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt remains the practical choice for most Clinton Township homes, and we install them properly - not nailed over old layers, not with staples, not with the wrong exposure for our wind zone. We are authorized installers for GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, among others, and we match the shingle to the roof pitch and the homeowner’s timeline. For a 1970s brick ranch on a low front slope, we’ll steer you toward a heavier architectural shingle with a tougher sealant strip, because that roof takes the worst of the lake-effect snow and the spring wind off the lake.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is gaining ground on Clinton Township’s acreage properties and rural homes, especially for detached workshops and outbuildings where the owner is tired of replacing asphalt every twenty years. A properly installed standing-seam metal roof sheds snow faster, eliminates ice-dam formation, and lasts forty to seventy years. We install it on primary residences too, particularly where the homeowner wants a permanent solution and the roofline can handle the aesthetic. Our crews carry the heavier-gauge panels and the specialized trim for these jobs, because a metal roof done wrong is a nightmare - and we don’t do callbacks.
New Construction
For new builds in the 48038 area and infill lots throughout the township, we coordinate directly with your builder or act as the roofing subcontractor. We spec the ventilation, the deck sheathing, and the flashing details before the walls are closed. Getting it right during construction is always cheaper than fixing it later.

Trusted Brands We Service in Clinton Township
We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral - seven manufacturer lines, no substitutions without your written approval. Our warehouse stocks the core colors and accessories that Clinton Township homeowners actually choose: the weathered wood and charcoal grays that dominate this market, the proper ridge vents for low-slope ranch geometry, and the ice-and-water shield that lake-effect snow demands. We don’t order your materials after we sell you the job. They’re already here, which means no delay and no “equivalent product” bait-and-switch.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Clinton Township Homes
- Ice dam leaks at low front-slope rooflines. On the brick ranches throughout 48035 and 48036, the low front-slope roofline drains directly onto brick friezes above large picture windows - a 1960s aesthetic choice that turns ice dams into a guaranteed interior leak point above the living room every February. Local roofers who understand this geometry sell the job before they even climb the ladder.
- Premature flashing and sealant failure. Southeast Michigan’s aggressive freeze-thaw cycling - capable of crossing 32°F multiple times per week in late winter - degrades step flashing and pipe-boot sealants faster than the packaging ratings assume. We see this on ten-year-old roofs that should have fifteen years left.
- Undersized or corroded valley metal. The heavy, wet snow off Lake St. Clair sits in valleys longer than drier powder would, accelerating rust on cheap galvanized valley flashing. We spec heavier-gauge prefinished valley metal for Clinton Township jobs.
- Ventilation choked by decades of re-roofing layers. Multiple shingle layers over original 1970s decking often bury soffit vents and create attic moisture problems that mimic roof leaks. We strip to bare deck and rebuild the airflow path.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Clinton Township
The 1960s-1970s builders designed these homes with low front-slope rooflines that drain directly onto a brick frieze above a large picture window - a style choice that looks fine until February, when lake-effect snow melts, refreezes at the cold eave, and backs water under the shingles exactly above your living room. The fix is not more caulk. It’s proper ice-and-water shield, corrected step flashing, and sometimes improved attic ventilation to keep the roof deck cold. Call (844) 563-1816 and we’ll show you the photos from your actual roof.
For detached workshops on acreage properties, we specify chain-drive or direct-drive openers rated for heavier doors, with battery backup and properly sized torsion springs matched to the door weight. The combination of a heavy door, a long service drive, and Clinton Township’s wet snow loads will kill an undersized opener in two winters. We stock the heavier-duty units and the springs to match, because driving back for a callback on a rural property wastes your day and ours. Call (844) 563-1816 for a spec review.
Lake-effect snow off Lake St. Clair is measurably wetter and heavier than snowfall in Sterling Heights or further west, which means it packs, melts slowly, and drives ice dam formation harder. For Clinton Township roofs - especially low-slope ranches - we specify full eave coverage with ice-and-water shield, heavier-gauge valley metal, and in some cases enhanced attic insulation and ventilation to keep the deck temperature uniform. Inland contractors who don’t see this pattern regularly often under-spec these details. Call (844) 563-1816 for a Clinton Township-specific assessment.
We most often install CertainTeed Landmark Pro, GAF Timberline HDZ, or Owens Corning Duration on these homes - all architectural shingles with tougher sealant strips and better wind ratings than the original three-tabs. The heavier shingle lays flatter on the low front slope, resists wind lift off the lake, and carries a longer warranty. We don’t substitute brands without your approval, and we don’t install builder-grade products on a full replacement. Call (844) 563-1816 to see sample boards.
No. Our estimate is based on the work, not the mileage. We’ve replaced roofs on properties off Romeo Plank, north of Moravian, and down long gravel drives toward the township’s northern edge. We factor travel into our daily route planning, not your invoice. One trip, done right. Call (844) 563-1816 for a free estimate - the price we quote is the price you pay.
