ABOUT
WE’RE BRED TO BE BETTER.
A new roof is one of the most significant investments you’ll make in your home—and that’s something we never forget. If our ratings, certifications, and reviews don’t convince you that we’re one of the top Michigan roofing contractors, we’ll come to your home and prove it in person.
COMMUNICATION
INTEGRITY
EXPERTISE
WE NEVER COMPROMISE. NEITHER SHOULD YOU.
At Above Roofing, we do everything to be your Michigan roofing contractors of choice and ensure the investment is worth every penny. Here’s how…
Communication
Actions speak louder than words, but how you communicate says a lot. We care about customers and talk to them like a member of our own family. We pick up the phone and return calls promptly. We’re responsive and proactive, from initial consultation to the second we hear our two favorite words: “great job.”
Integrity
You need more than a reliable roof. You need a reliable roofer—a person you can look in the eye, knowing they have your best interest in mind. We dedicate ourselves to building those one-of-a-kind relationships. At Above Roofing, it’s about more than business. It’s about people, honesty, and doing the right thing, every time.
Expertise
Some Michigan roofing contractors hire employees. We hire experts. At Above Roofing, we believe in our people, the work they perform, and the level of knowledge they bring to every job. Despite what many think, roofing is incredibly complex, whether it’s a replacement or repair. That’s why we find the best people and double down on our confidence with a lifetime workmanship warranty.
FAMILY-OWNED AND PET-FRIENDLY SINCE 1996.
