When a leak shows up on a West Bloomfield roof, you don’t want to wait days for someone to drive in from another county. Our Novi office sits at 43000 W Nine Mile Road, about ten to twelve miles south of the township. On a normal day that’s a fifteen to twenty minute run up Haggerty or Orchard Lake Road, so a technician can be on your roof to trace a leak the same week you call, not next month.
That short drive is the whole point. It means faster inspections, tighter scheduling around Michigan’s weather windows, and a crew that already knows the roads around Pine Lake and Maple. When we say we’ll be there, the distance backs it up. For an active leak, being close is the difference between stopping water today and mopping up drywall next week.
West Bloomfield is Oakland County’s lake township, with roughly two dozen inland lakes spread across its thirty-one square miles. Cass Lake alone covers about 1,280 acres, the largest in the county, and Pine, Walnut, and Middle Straits sit close behind. Around twelve percent of the township is water, and the housing grew up around it. For decades these lakes were a weekend escape for Detroit families, and that origin still shapes the neighborhoods today.
That history shows on the rooftops. Many lakefronts started as 1920s to 1950s summer cottages that have since been torn down and rebuilt into large custom homes with steep pitches, dormers, and long valley runs. Off the water, the colonial subdivisions along the Maple and Drake corridors filled in from the 1950s onward, shaded by mature oaks and maples, and a strong condo market rounds out the mix. Two very different roofs, one township, and each fails in its own way.
Water is the gift and the problem here. Constant humidity coming off Cass, Pine, and Walnut keeps north-facing and shaded slopes damp, which is why we see moss, algae streaking, and early granule loss on those roofs first. Open lakefront lots also take wind with no windbreak, so we find lifted shingles and loosened ridge caps after storms.
The custom rebuilds bring their own trouble. More valleys, more dormers, and more flashing joints mean more places for water to sneak in, and step flashing at chimneys and sidewalls is usually where a West Bloomfield leak actually starts, not the field of the shingles. The older lake cottages that survived carry aging materials and roofs that have been patched more than once over the years. Add Michigan’s freeze-thaw swings and ice dams along the eaves, and small openings turn into ceiling stains fast.
The smart move on almost any of these homes is an early inspection. Caught in time, a corroded flashing joint or a lifted section of ridge is a straightforward repair. Left alone through a couple of freeze-thaw seasons, the same spot rots the decking underneath and turns a half-day fix into a much larger job. We’d always rather find it early.
Our crews are on these lake roads year round, and in a community this tight, a reputation is easy to lose and hard to rebuild. That keeps our work honest. We’d rather fix your flashing correctly once than be the name homeowners warn each other about at the Orchard Lake boat launch. Since 1995 we’ve built this business on repairs that hold, and West Bloomfield is exactly the kind of place where that matters.
Dealing with roofing issues is never enjoyable, but keeping your roof in good shape is key to safeguarding your home. At Schoenherr Roofing, we’re just a call away. The first step in figuring out whether you need a simple repair or a full replacement is evaluating the damage. Elements such as your roof’s material, age, and the seriousness of the problem all influence the solution.
At Schoenherr Roofing, we conduct thorough inspections on all types of roofs—from asphalt shingles to metal—identifying everything from visible damage like missing shingles to hidden issues such as attic leaks. Our skilled team provides tailored solutions to restore your roof’s integrity and keep it protected long-term.
West Bloomfield, MI, experiences a wide range of weather—from scorching summer heat to freezing, snow-heavy winters—that can put serious strain on your roof, particularly if it’s made with materials like asphalt shingles.
High winds can rip or loosen shingles, leaving your roof vulnerable to water intrusion. In winter, snow buildup often leads to ice dams, which block proper drainage and cause water to back up beneath the shingles—potentially leaking into your home.
Overlooking early signs of damage can turn minor issues into costly repairs or even require a full roof replacement. Addressing problems promptly helps safeguard your home and saves you money down the road.
How do you know when it’s time to call a professional roofer? Some warning signs are easy to spot, while others are more subtle. Missing, cracked, or curling shingles often point to aging or wear. Water stains on ceilings or walls can be a sign of a hidden leak. A sagging roofline may indicate structural damage, and finding shingle granules in your gutters usually means your roof materials are breaking down. Moss or algae growth could also signal trapped moisture. If your asphalt shingle roof is approaching 20 to 25 years old, it’s a smart move to schedule a professional inspection to assess its condition and plan ahead.
At Schoenherr Roofing, we provide detailed roof repair services tailored to each homeowner’s specific needs. Our focus goes beyond quick fixes—we’re dedicated to reinforcing your roof’s integrity and providing long-term protection for your home.

Homes on Cass, Pine, Walnut, and the Straits lakes sit in constant humidity and take wind straight off open water. That combination lifts shingles, loosens ridge caps, and keeps shaded slopes damp enough to grow moss and algae, so lakefront roofs tend to show wear years before an inland roof of the same age. We check the wind-facing slopes and the flashing first on any waterfront inspection.
Mature oaks and maples drop limbs and pack leaf litter into valleys, and the shade they throw keeps north slopes from drying out. On those roofs we most often repair moss-related granule loss, clogged valleys that back water under shingles, and impact damage from falling branches. Keeping the canopy trimmed back and the valleys clear buys those roofs several extra years.
On the custom lakefront rebuilds around the township, leaks almost never start in the open field of shingles. They start at the transitions, the valleys, the step flashing where a wall meets the roof, and the boots around chimneys and vents. We trace the water back to those joints, reflash them properly, and tie the repair into the surrounding shingles so it seals without a full tear-off.
Yes. A lot of West Bloomfield waterfront is older cottages rebuilt into large custom homes with steep pitches, dormers, and mixed materials. Our crews are set up for that kind of work, from safe access on a steep slope to matching a repair into an existing high-end roof so it holds and still looks right from the water.
We cover the whole township from our Novi office, including the lakefront and lake-access neighborhoods around Pine, Walnut, Cass, and Middle Straits, plus the colonial subdivisions along the Maple, Drake, and Orchard Lake Road corridors. If your home is inside West Bloomfield, we can reach it quickly.
Our Novi office is roughly ten to twelve miles away, about a fifteen to twenty minute drive. For an active leak we prioritize getting eyes on the roof quickly, tarping or making the roof watertight the same visit when needed, then scheduling the permanent repair. Being this close is why West Bloomfield homeowners don’t sit and wait while water keeps coming in.
