This full roof replacement project was completed at 3719 Hi Crest Drive in Lake Orion, Michigan, where our team performed a complete tear-off and new roofing system installation. The existing shingles were removed down to the decking, allowing us to fully inspect the roof structure before proceeding. Any ventilation and penetration issues were addressed during this phase to ensure the new roof system would perform correctly long-term.
During the project, we installed two new bathroom exhaust fans and properly connected a previously unvented laundry exhaust, correcting an attic ventilation issue that had been overlooked in the past. We also replaced two pipe boots and added new pipe covers for improved watertight protection. The home featured a large brick chimney, which we re-flashed using new apron flashing that was kerf-cut into the masonry, providing a secure, professional seal designed to prevent leaks.
The homeowner selected Atlas Pinnacle architectural shingles in the Burnt Hickory color, paired with white drip edge for a clean, finished look. The roof measured 2,646 square feet (26.46 squares) and the entire project was completed in one day. The total investment for the roof replacement was $16,405.48, which included all labor, materials, permits, dumpster, and disposal—no hidden costs and no shortcuts.
