What Ann Arbor Homeowners Say

★★★★★

Completely transparent pricing. Job was done in less then a week after the included attic inspection. Great company to work with. Highly recommended.

Scott Hanes

★★★★★

Thanks so much for all your help with choosing our new roof from A to Z. It was a relaxing, wonderful installation day with minimal bam bamming especially since I work from home!

Wendy Ulmer

★★★★★

After my dad passed away, I moved in with my mom to help take care of the house. Never having owned a house of my own, when tornado-strength winds ripped through Nashville, tearing shingles off, I had no idea where to start. A friend recommended The Roof Resource / SkyeVantage and their proposal…

Roof Replacement Services in Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor is the Washtenaw County seat and home to the University of Michigan, with a 2020 population of 123,851 and a housing stock that spans more than a century. Old West Side, Burns Park, and Kerrytown carry pre-1940 craftsman, Victorian, and Tudor rooflines with steep pitches and complex valleys. The edges of the city run mid-century ranches and newer subdivision builds. All of it lives in the same climate: roughly 33 to 36 inches of snow a year, freeze-thaw cycles every winter that crack sealant and lift shingle tabs, and spring and summer wind and hail events that drive around 40% of Michigan homeowner insurance claims (III).

SkyeVantage coordinates asphalt shingle roof replacements in Ann Arbor end to end. Materials at wholesale cost. Synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys to meet Michigan code, drip edge, ridge cap, and the right ventilation so the shingles you paid for actually last 25-plus years. A Preferred Roofing Network crew handles the tear-off and install. Axium inspects.

One flat fee covers the coordination, the labor, the materials setup, and the dumpster. Everything else is at cost. You see the receipt.

Services We Offer in Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor Insurance & City Code Info

  • Permits required. The City of Ann Arbor Building Department issues residential roof permits at 301 East Huron Street, Ann Arbor MI 48104, (734) 794-6263. The permit gets pulled before work starts and the fee is included in the quote.
  • Michigan Residential Code 2015 (MRC 2015) is the governing code statewide, based on the International Residential Code 2015 (IRC 2015). All roof assemblies must meet MRC Chapter 9.
  • Snow load. Southern Lower Peninsula ground snow load is approximately 20 psf. Roof framing and decking must support that load without deflection.
  • Ice barrier requirement. MRC requires ice barrier membrane at all valleys, around all roof penetrations, and at the eaves, extending 24 inches past the interior wall line. Required on every Ann Arbor project. Not optional.
  • Wind / hail claims. Wind and hail are the dominant homeowner insurance claim category in Michigan, around 40% of all claims (III). Standard MI policies cover wind/hail damage. SkyeVantage coordinates with carriers on claims. No Assignment of Benefits. No deductible offers.

Ann Arbor's Climate and Your Roof

Ann Arbor has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb), the same pattern as the rest of Washtenaw County and southeast Michigan. NOAA 30-year normals for the county:

  • Annual snowfall: Roughly 33 to 36 inches. Ice damming risk on north-facing eaves through December to March.
  • Winter temps: January averages in the mid 20s°F. Freeze-thaw cycles repeatedly stress sealants, flashings, and shingle adhesion.
  • Summer temps: July averages in the low 70s°F with regular 80-plus degree days. UV exposure on south and west slopes accelerates granule loss.
  • Annual precipitation: Approximately 36 inches of rain. Water management at valleys, step flashings, and chimney saddles is non-negotiable on Old West Side Victorians and Burns Park Tudors with multiple roof planes.
  • Severe weather window: Spring through early fall. Wind, hail, and severe thunderstorms drive most of MI's homeowner claims.

Ann Arbor Roof Replacement FAQ

Asphalt shingle roof replacement in SE Michigan runs roughly $9,500 to $19,000 at traditional retail pricing (HomeAdvisor, Billy's Roofing 2026). SkyeVantage works differently. Materials, dumpster, and labor at cost. One flat fee for the coordination. You see every receipt. Down to the penny.

20 to 30 years for a properly installed architectural shingle system in Washtenaw's climate. Freeze-thaw cycles, ice damming, UV exposure on south slopes, and attic ventilation problems all shorten that. Full-system installation matters more than shingle brand alone.

Standard MI policies cover wind and hail. Wind / hail damage is roughly 40% of all MI homeowner insurance claims (III), the largest single category. Whether to file is the homeowner's decision. SkyeVantage coordinates with the carrier when asked. No Assignment of Benefits. No deductible offers. Ever.

Yes. The City of Ann Arbor Building Department (301 East Huron Street, (734) 794-6263) requires a permit for residential roof replacements. The permit gets pulled before work starts and the fee is built into the quote. If your home is in a designated historic district, plan for the historic review step before the building permit is issued.

Yes. These are designated historic districts and roof replacements there go through the City of Ann Arbor Historic District Commission before the building permit. Asphalt shingle is the standard approved material in Ann Arbor's historic districts, and designer profiles (Presidential Shake, Grand Sequoia, Landmark Premium) read well on Victorian, Tudor, and craftsman rooflines. SkyeVantage handles the HDC paperwork and coordinates the build to the approved spec.

Same install spec, same flat fee structure. The scheduling is what changes. Most Ann Arbor rental owners want the tear-off and install to land between late April and mid August, between leases, with the property vacant. SkyeVantage schedules the 7 to 10 day install window around your lease turnover. Satellite measurements mean no walk-through with a tenant.

You get the refund. Satellite measurements drive the material order before install, but the homeowner only pays for what actually gets installed. When traditional roofing companies have leftover materials, they return them to the supplier for a refund and pocket the money. We don't. That refund goes back to you. Materials at wholesale cost. You see the receipt. Down to the penny.
