What Michigan requires of roofers

Michigan does not require a statewide roofing contractor license, which sets it apart from many other states. However, roofing contractors in Michigan must register with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) as a residential builder or maintenance and alteration contractor if they perform work on residential structures. Residential builders must pass a written examination, carry general liability insurance, and pay applicable registration fees. The residential builder registration is required for anyone who constructs or supervises the construction of a new home or undertakes certain remodeling or repair work on existing residential properties.

For commercial roofing work, there is no specific state-level license required, but contractors must comply with local building codes and obtain the necessary permits for each project. Many cities and counties in Michigan impose their own licensing or registration requirements. For example, Detroit and other larger municipalities may require local contractor registration, proof of insurance, and sometimes a bond before a contractor can legally operate within their jurisdiction. It is essential for roofing companies to check with the local building department in each municipality where they plan to work.

Regarding insurance and bonding, Michigan residential builder registrants must maintain a minimum level of general liability insurance, and some localities require surety bonds as well. Registration fees through LARA vary depending on the type and volume of work performed. Renewals are required periodically, and failure to maintain proper registration can result in fines or penalties. Contractors should also be aware of Michigan's Builder's Trust Fund Act, which governs financial responsibilities and protections for homeowners when hiring residential contractors.

Frequently asked - Michigan

How do I verify a roofing contractor is licensed in Michigan?
Michigan does not require a statewide roofing license, but contractors must hold a Residential Builder or Maintenance and Alteration Contractor license through the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. You can verify a contractor's license at michigan.gov/lara. Always ask for their license number before signing anything, and confirm it is current and in good standing.
What should I look for in a roofing contract in Michigan?
Your contract should clearly list the scope of work, materials being used, project start and completion dates, total cost, payment schedule, and warranty details. Make sure it also includes how debris removal and cleanup will be handled. Never pay the full amount upfront. A typical deposit is 10 to 30 percent, with the remainder due after the job is satisfactorily completed.
Does Michigan weather affect what type of roofing material I should choose?
Yes, Michigan's harsh winters, heavy snowfall, ice dams, and freeze-thaw cycles make material choice very important. Asphalt shingles rated for high wind and impact resistance are the most common and cost-effective option. Metal roofing is also popular because it sheds snow easily and is highly durable. Ask your contractor which materials are best suited for your specific region of Michigan.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover roof repairs or replacement in Michigan?
It depends on the cause of the damage. Insurance typically covers damage from sudden events like hailstorms, wind, or fallen trees, which are common in Michigan. It generally does not cover damage from neglect or normal wear and tear. Contact your insurance provider before hiring a contractor, and be cautious of roofers who approach you unsolicited after a storm and pressure you to file a claim.
How many estimates should I get before hiring a roofing contractor in Michigan?
Getting at least three written estimates is strongly recommended. This helps you understand the fair market price in your area and gives you a chance to compare materials, timelines, and contractor professionalism. Be wary of bids that are significantly lower than the others, as this can indicate cut corners, inferior materials, or a contractor who may not complete the job properly.
What warranties should a Michigan roofing contractor provide?
You should receive two types of warranties. The first is a manufacturer's warranty covering the roofing materials, which can range from 20 years to a lifetime depending on the product. The second is a workmanship warranty from the contractor, typically ranging from 1 to 10 years. Make sure both warranties are provided in writing and that you understand exactly what is and is not covered before work begins.
