Your Southeast Michigan Roofing & Solar FAQ Guide
We know roofing and solar upgrades come with a lot of questions, especially when it’s your first time tackling a project like this. That’s why we’ve pulled together answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners across Southeast Michigan. Whether you’re wondering about timelines, materials, financing, or solar compatibility, this page is here to help you make smart, confident decisions. And if you don’t see your question below? Just ask. We’re real people, and we’re happy to talk it through.
We specialize in roofing and solar installation—two things that are better (and more affordable) when handled by one expert team. Our roofing services include repairs, full replacements, roof inspections, insurance claim assistance, and both asphalt shingle and metal roofing options.
We also design and install solar systems, working with your roof, not against it, to set you up for long-term energy savings. Every service is backed by transparent pricing, expert crews, and zero-stress scheduling.
We provide commercial roofing services for businesses, multi-unit properties, retail spaces, and more throughout Southeast Michigan.
Our team understands the unique demands of flat and low-slope commercial roofs and works quickly to minimize downtime for your operations. We offer honest assessments, durable materials, and fast, professional installs, so you can get back to business without the headaches.
If you’re seeing missing shingles, granules in your gutters, or water spots on your ceiling, it might be time to call in the pros. A roof that’s over 20 years old is also worth checking, even if it “looks fine” from the street.
We offer honest assessments (no scare tactics) and walk you through your options clearly so you know what’s really necessary and what’s not.
Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20–30 years, depending on the quality of materials and how well it was installed. Michigan’s wild weather can speed up wear and tear, especially if your roof wasn’t built to handle freeze-thaw cycles or heavy winds.
We use premium shingles designed for Midwest durability, so that you and your family can count on lasting protection.
Every iSwitch roof comes with a manufacturer’s warranty and our own workmanship guarantee. If anything’s not up to par, we make it right. We believe you should feel confident in the roof over your head, and that means standing behind our work 100%.
Absolutely. We’re quick to respond after storm damage and can even tarp your roof right away to prevent further issues. From wind-blown shingles to tree impact damage, we’ll assess the situation, provide a clear quote, and work fast to get your home protected again.
We serve homeowners and businesses across Southeast Michigan, including Oakland County, Lapeer County, Livingston County, and Macomb County. If you’re nearby but not sure if we cover your location, just give us a call—we’re happy to check. Our local crews are always on the move and ready to help with everything from emergency roof repairs to full solar installations.
It depends on what caused the damage. If it was due to a covered event like hail or high winds, your insurance policy likely covers it. We’ll inspect the damage, document everything, and work directly with your insurance company so you’re not stuck deciphering policy language or chasing adjusters.
We’re big believers in clean work sites and respecting your space. Our crew sets up protective barriers, uses dump trailers instead of your lawn, and does a full magnetic sweep when the job is done. You shouldn’t have to find stray nails or flattened flowers after a roofing project, and with us, you won’t.
We do. Roof repairs and solar upgrades aren’t always in the budget, so we offer flexible financing with no hidden fees and clear monthly payment options. Our goal is to make it easier for homeowners to get high-quality work without putting off critical projects.
Because we make the process painless and actually show up when we say we will. With iSwitch, you get local crews, honest pricing, and clean installs—plus a team that treats your home like it’s our own. We’re not the cheapest or flashiest, but we’re the crew people call when they want the job done right.
Sometimes, but it depends on the age and condition of your roof. If your current roof is near the end of its lifespan, it’s smarter to replace it before going solar. We’ll evaluate your roof’s condition and help you make a solar plan that won’t lead to double the cost or effort down the line.
It comes down to sunlight, roof space, and your energy usage. If your home gets decent sun exposure and your roof is in good shape, chances are you’re a great candidate.
Our team will assess your roof, analyze your energy needs, and walk you through the numbers. If solar makes sense for you, we’ll build a plan that fits your goals and your budget.
