Call (844) 563-1816

We’ve worked Novi since the late 1980s, back when the Taft Road corridor was still filling in with new construction. That matters because we know exactly what those builders installed, where they cut corners, and how those 25-year shingles are behaving now that they’re past their rated life. Our Specialty Roofing team doesn’t guess at what’s under your roof deck. We photograph it, explain it, and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Why Ridgeline Roofing Co. Is Novi’s Preferred Specialty Roofing Company

Novi homeowners call us back because we show up when we say we will, and because Pete Navarro has built this company since 1984 on a simple standard: the same crew we’d send to our own mother’s house. Over 42 years, that has meant hiring local apprentices and training them into journeymen who know southeastern Michigan’s freeze-thaw patterns firsthand. We are not storm chasers with out-of-state plates. We’re the crew you’ll see at the hardware store on Grand River Avenue.

Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written, not spoken. If something is not right, we make it right - no paperwork to file, no argument, no runaround. That promise has kept us in business through four decades of Michigan winters.

A live person answers every call, 24 hours a day, including the middle of the night when ice dams start dripping through your ceiling. No voicemail trees. No “we’ll call you back between 8 and 5.”

Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform. Every inspection is photo-documented from your actual roof, not from the driveway with a scary story. And our upfront pricing means the number on your estimate is the number on your invoice - a square deal, plain and simple.

Our Specialty Roofing Services in Novi

Solar Ready Roofing

Novi’s large south-facing colonials are ideal solar candidates, but most were never built to carry panel loads or handle the penetrations. Our solar-ready roofing installs reinforced decking, proper flashing kits for rail mounts, and low-profile conduit paths that won’t compromise your waterproofing. We coordinate with your solar installer so the roof and panel work don’t fight each other. On a recent job in the Beck Road area, we pre-staged a CertainTeed Solaris reflective shingle system that cut the homeowner’s cooling load before panels even went up.

TPO Roofing

TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is our go-to for Novi’s commercial flat roofs and residential additions where a low-slope membrane makes sense. The white reflective surface handles Michigan’s summer heat well, and the heat-welded seams hold up to the thermal expansion that comes with Novi’s hard freeze-thaw cycles. We install TPO from GAF and CertainTeed with proper insulation board to prevent the condensation issues we see in older Novi builds where the original flat roof was barely insulated.

EPDM Roofing

EPDM rubber membrane remains a cost-effective choice for detached garages, sunroom additions, and small commercial buildings across Novi’s 48375 and 48377 ZIPs. The material flexes without cracking in extreme cold, which matters when Novi drops below zero for a week straight. We ballast or fully adhere depending on wind exposure, and we always detail the perimeter with proper termination bars - the detail that separates a 20-year roof from a 5-year headache.

Modified Bitumen

Modified bitumen is our workhorse for Novi’s flat and low-slope applications where durability trumps aesthetics. The torch-applied or self-adhering layers create a redundant system that seals around penetrations like vent stacks and HVAC curbs. In Novi’s climate, we specify APP-modified cap sheets for better UV resistance on south-facing exposures, and we always install a full base sheet - never spot repairs on a failing built-up roof that should have been replaced years ago.

Built-Up Roofing

Traditional built-up roofing (BUR) still has a place on Novi’s older commercial buildings and some estate homes with servant-wing flat roofs from the 1980s. We install multi-ply fiberglass BUR with coal tar or asphalt, finished with gravel surfacing or a reflective cap sheet. The thermal mass of a proper BUR assembly helps moderate temperature swings, and when installed over proper insulation, it outlasts most single-ply alternatives in Michigan’s climate.

Green Roof

Green roofs are rare in Novi’s residential market, but we’re seeing interest from commercial clients near Twelve Mile Road and the growing medical corridor. We install the full assembly: root barrier, drainage mat, engineered growing medium, and drought-tolerant sedum selected for Zone 6 hardiness. The load calculations are critical - many of Novi’s 1990s commercial buildings need structural review before green roof installation, and we coordinate that engineering as part of our scope.

Trusted Brands We Service in Novi

We are authorized installers for GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral - seven manufacturer lines, no substitutions without your written approval. For Novi customers, that means we stock common repair items like ridge caps, starter strips, and ice-and-water shield locally, not ordered from a warehouse three states away. When a Westbrooke homeowner calls with wind damage after a March storm, we can often match their existing shingle lot and complete the repair in a single visit. Our typical turnaround from inspection to completion on a standard Novi replacement is five to seven business days, weather permitting.

Common Specialty Roofing Problems We See in Novi Homes

• Chronic ice dam damage from 1990s under-insulated attics. The builder-grade construction common in Novi’s subdivisions often included minimal soffit ventilation and R-19 attic insulation that has settled to R-15 or less. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles push meltwater uphill, where it refreezes at the eaves and backs under shingles. By the time you see a brown stain on your ceiling, the sheathing is often rotted and the fascia is compromised.
• Granule loss and curling on original 25-year architectural shingles. Those GAF Timberline and CertainTeed Landmark shingles looked generous in 1998, but they’re now past their rated life. South-facing slopes take the worst beating, and once granule loss exposes the asphalt mat, UV degradation accelerates dramatically. We see this on nearly every Beck Road and Taft Road colonial we inspect.
• Complex hip-valley intersections where flashing fails silently. Novi’s multi-story colonials with steep pitches and multiple dormers create valley configurations that move massive water volumes in heavy rain. When step flashing corrodes or valley liners shift, water enters the wall cavity and travels horizontally before showing as a ceiling stain. The repair is rarely the visible leak point.
• Flat roof additions on homes never designed for them. Many Novi homeowners added sunrooms or expanded kitchens in the 2000s, with low-slope roofs tied into the original steep-slope drainage. Without proper crickets, tapered insulation, or adequate internal drains, these additions pond water and fail at the tie-in - a specialty roofing problem that demands both flat-roof and steep-roof expertise.
