Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Straight answers about roofing, timing, insurance, warranties and working with Horizon in Michigan.
Are your roofing materials suited for Michigan weather?
Yes. We install CertainTeed shingles and full Integrity Roof Systems designed to withstand Michigan winters, heavy snow, ice dams and extreme temperature swings.
Do you offer free roof inspections in Northville?
We do. A Horizon inspection is free and honest: we tell you whether a repair will do before ever recommending a full replacement.
How do I know when it's time to replace my roof?
Curling or missing shingles, granules in the gutters, daylight or stains in the attic, and an age past 20 years are all signs. We assess it and put our recommendation in writing.
Will Horizon supervise my project start to finish?
Yes. Owner Jim personally attends each job, and a credentialed crew does the work from inspection through final cleanup.
Does homeowners insurance cover roof replacement?
Storm or sudden damage is often covered while age-related wear usually is not. We document the damage thoroughly and can work alongside your insurance adjuster.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roofs are completed in one to three days, depending on size, pitch and weather. We give you a clear timeline in your written estimate, and often finish ahead of it.
Are you licensed, insured and bonded?
Yes, in Michigan, and we can provide a certificate of insurance whenever your project or HOA requires one. We also back our work with a 5-year Contractors Workmanship Guarantee.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Northville, Novi, Plymouth, Canton, Livonia, Farmington & Farmington Hills, Village Oaks and surrounding Metro Detroit communities from our base in Northville.
Do you only install CertainTeed?
CertainTeed is what we recommend and are credentialed in, but we can work with any manufacturer's products on request. We explain the differences and let you choose.
