This process involves installing a new roof on a structure that either doesn’t have one yet or is undergoing significant changes. It’s typically required in situations such as:
New Construction: Installing a complete roofing system on a newly built home or building.
Major Renovations: Updating an existing structure with substantial changes that require a full roof replacement.
This service is required when repairs can no longer suffice, or your roof has reached the end of its lifespan. Here are some signs that a full replacement might be the best choice:
Aging Roof: If your roof is over 20 years old, the materials may no longer offer proper protection.
Visible Damage: Missing shingles, frequent leaks, or a sagging roofline usually indicate deeper structural issues.
Frequent Repairs: Constant repairs can add up, and a full replacement could save you money and stress in the long run.

While both roof installation and roof replacement result in a brand-new roof, the reasons, processes, and costs differ.
Roof Installation:
Ideal for new construction or major renovations
Offers more flexibility in materials and design options
No need to remove an old roof, making the process faster and cleaner
Roof Replacement:
Involves removing the existing roof before installing a new one
May require structural updates to meet current building codes
Can enhance energy efficiency and boost your home’s resale value
Bottom Line:
If you’re building from the ground up or adding on, go with a new installation. If your roof is outdated or damaged, a replacement offers long-term protection and peace of mind.
The cost of roof installation or repair can vary greatly based on several key factors. These include the type of roofing material, the complexity of the project, and how accessible your roof is. Asphalt shingles are generally the most cost-effective option, while premium materials such as slate or metal come with a higher cost.
If your roof has a steep pitch or complex design, it may require specialized tools and a more experienced crew, which can drive up labor costs. By understanding these factors, homeowners can make informed decisions that align with both their budget and specific needs.
Roofing Material Choices:
Asphalt shingles: A popular, cost-effective option that’s easy to install and performs well for most homes.
Slate or tile: A premium material with a higher upfront cost, but it offers exceptional durability and longevity.
Understanding the cost differences between materials helps you strike the right balance between your budget and the long-term value of your roof.
Roof Size:
Larger roofs require more materials—such as extra shingles, underlayment, and other components—which increases the overall cost.
Roof Complexity:
Steep slopes, complex angles, dormers, or intricate designs require additional time, skill, and specialized tools, driving up both labor and material costs.
In Eastpointe, seasonal changes have a big impact on the timing and cost of roofing projects. Winter brings snow, ice, and freezing temperatures, which can slow down progress and create hazardous conditions. With fewer crews available and extra safety measures needed, roofing during colder months often results in higher costs.
Spring and fall are usually the best seasons for roofing projects. With milder temperatures and more predictable weather, these seasons provide ideal working conditions, reducing delays and enhancing efficiency. Contractors tend to be more available, and pricing is often more competitive during these times.
By timing your roofing project with the seasons, you can avoid delays, manage costs, and ensure the job is done right from the beginning.
Choosing the right roofing service—whether it’s a minor repair or a full replacement—can make a significant impact on both your home and your budget. Addressing small issues early helps prevent bigger, costlier problems down the road. While repair costs vary, they’re generally much more affordable than a full roof replacement.
Hiring a professional ensures your roof does its job: keeping water out, preventing mold, and safeguarding your home from daily wear and tear. DIY repairs may seem simple, but a professional guarantees it’s done right and safely the first time.
Your roof is an essential part of your home’s structure and value. Unsure about its condition? Reach out to Schoenherr Roofing for a free inspection and expert advice you can rely on.
If you’re seeing curled or missing shingles, frequent leaks, sagging areas, or granules building up in your gutters, your roof may be approaching the end of its lifespan—especially if it’s over 20 years old. Noticing any of these signs? It’s a good idea to have a roofing expert inspect your roof to determine if it’s time to consider a replacement.
Homeowners should schedule a roof inspection at least once a year—and definitely after any major storm in Michigan. Regular inspections help catch early signs of damage before they turn into bigger, more expensive problems.
Roofing contractors take care of everything—from fixing leaks and damage to installing new roofs, performing detailed inspections, and providing ongoing maintenance. Whether it’s a minor repair or a complete installation, they have the tools, skills, and experience to keep your roof strong and dependable.
Roof replacement involves tearing off the old roofing materials, inspecting the underlying decking for any damage, making required repairs, and installing a brand-new roofing system. The goal is to give your home enhanced, long-lasting protection against the elements.
Installing a new roof involves building a complete roofing system from scratch. The process starts with selecting the right materials, followed by installing the underlayment, adding shingles, and ensuring proper sealing and ventilation. The outcome is a durable, visually appealing roof that delivers excellent performance and protection.
