How long does a roof replacement take?

Most home roofs take 1 to 3 days. Commercial projects depend on size, and we give you the timeline before we start.

What roofing materials do you use?

Architectural asphalt shingles, standing seam metal, EPDM, TPO, and torch down. We are an IKO Roof Pro contractor and only use brands with a proven track record.

Do you work with insurance companies?

You handle the claim with your insurance company, and we give you what you need for it: inspection photos and a written estimate. Once your claim is settled, we can do the work.

Do you have a senior discount?

Yes. We have a senior savings program for eligible customers. Ask about it when you call.

How do I pay?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and cash.

How much does a new roof cost?

It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, how many layers come off, the condition of the decking, and the material you pick. We inspect and give you a free, itemized written estimate so you know the real number before you decide.

What happens during a free inspection?

A Crown rep looks at your roof and exterior, takes photos, and walks you through what they found. You get a straight recommendation on what needs work now and what can wait, then a written estimate.

Can you put a new roof over my old one?

Sometimes. A re-roof (layover) costs less when code and the condition of your current roof allow it. If there are already too many layers or the decking is soft, a full tear off is the right call. We tell you which one fits after the inspection.

What is included in a full tear off?

We strip the roof down to the decking, replace any bad wood we find, and install a complete new roof system. We finish with a final walk through and full cleanup.

Do you replace rotted decking?

Yes. When we tear off a roof and find soft or rotted wood, we replace it before the new roof goes on.

Are your roofs covered by a warranty?

Our installations are backed by the manufacturer warranties on the materials we use. Ask us for the details on your estimate.

How do I know if my roof has storm damage?

Look for missing, creased, or curling shingles, granules in the gutters, dents on vents, or new leaks inside. Damage is not always visible from the ground, so the safest move is a free inspection with photos.

Do you repair and rebuild chimneys?

Yes. We repair cracked crowns and mortar, fix flashing leaks, install caps, clean chimneys, and rebuild chimneys from the roof line or from the ground up in brick or natural stone.

What is tuckpointing?

Tuckpointing means grinding out worn or crumbling mortar between bricks and filling it with fresh mortar. It stops water from getting in and keeps a chimney or brick wall solid for years longer.

Do you install gutter guards?

Yes. We install gutter guards along with new seamless gutters or on your existing gutters, and we repair and clean gutters too.

Why seamless gutters?

Seamless gutters are formed on site to the exact length of your roof line, so there are far fewer seams to leak. We install 5 inch seamless gutters.

What siding do you install?

Vinyl siding, James Hardie fiber cement, and LP SmartSide engineered wood, plus soffit, fascia, and trim.

Do you install skylights?

Yes. We install VELUX skylights and flash them with the roof so they stay leak free.

Do you do flat roofs?

Yes. We install and repair EPDM, TPO, and torch down flat roofing on homes, porches, additions, and commercial buildings.

Do you work with property managers and HOAs?

Yes. We work with apartments, condos, townhomes, and multifamily properties on full roofs, repairs, and ongoing service, scheduled around your residents.

Do you bid new construction?

Yes. We bid roofing and exterior work on new construction projects for builders and property managers. Send us your plans and we will measure and quote.

Will you clean up after the job?

Yes. Every job ends with a final walk through and a full cleanup, so your property is left cleaner than we found it.

Are you a family owned company?

Yes. Crown Contracting has been family owned and operated in Novi since 1952.

How does your referral program work?

If someone you send us mentions your name and hires us, we pay you $100 for a gutter job or repair, or $250 for a full roof, full siding project, or chimney rebuild. There is no limit.

How do I know if I need a new roof or a repair?

Leaks, missing or curling shingles, granules in the gutters, or a roof over 20 years old are all reasons to get it looked at. We inspect, show you photos, and recommend the least expensive fix that will actually last.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most home roofs take 1 to 3 days depending on size and pitch. Commercial jobs take longer, and we give you the timeline up front.

Do you handle insurance claims?

We do not file or manage the claim for you. We inspect, photograph the damage, and give you a written estimate you can send to your insurance company. Once your claim is settled, we can do the work.

Which flat roof system is right for me?

It depends on the building, how the roof drains, and your budget. We inspect and recommend the system that fits, and explain why.

Should I repair or rebuild my chimney?

If the damage is limited to mortar or the crown, a repair usually does it. If bricks are loose or the chimney leans, a rebuild from the roof line is often the safer and cheaper long term fix. We show you photos and give you both prices when both make sense.

Can you come out for one small repair?

Yes. Call us and we will set up a time to look at it.
