Roofing FAQs
Common warning signs include missing or curling shingles, granules in the gutters, active leaks, soft spots, and water stains on ceilings. Age matters too — many asphalt roofs in Michigan begin showing wear around 15–20 years depending on ventilation, workmanship, and storm exposure.
That said, not every roof that looks worn needs replacement immediately. iSwitch Roofs starts with a free inspection so you can make a confident decision based on facts — not pressure.
Most residential roof replacements are completed in one day. Larger homes, steep roofs, or complex layouts can take 1–2 days. Weather and material availability can impact scheduling, but we’ll set expectations clearly before the job starts.
In most cases, we recommend a full tear-off so we can inspect the decking, correct problem areas, and install the new system properly. This improves longevity and helps protect your warranty.
We install high-quality roofing systems designed for Michigan’s climate, including architectural asphalt shingles and specialty options depending on your goals (durability, impact resistance, curb appeal, etc.). During your inspection we’ll show options that fit your home and budget.

Many window projects can be completed in 1–2 days depending on the number of windows and complexity. We’ll give you a clear schedule before work begins.
