Lawton, Detroit

Pro Home Improvement loves to work with our customers to revitalize their homes. Improving the energy efficiency of each customer’s home is our company’s mission. Larry is no exception. We were able to help him restore his Detroit home with new insulation, gutters, roofing, and siding.

A problem with Larry’s roof

Larry knew there was a lot wrong with his roof, but he never expected it to be this much.

Last winter, Larry Willis was startled to hear a giant thump from the outside of his house. He got his coat and hat on, went outside and saw that a giant piece of the roof had fallen off completely off his home! Larry decided it was time to call Pro Home Improvement the best roofing contractor in Detroit MI.

Pro Home investigates

On the initial visit to assess the situation many problems were present with Larry’s asphalt roof:

Previous roofs were only roofed right over, so there were a total of 5 roofs putting weight and causing trouble on top of Larry’s house.
The house is over 100 years old and has an unusually steep roof (15/12).
A portion of Larry’s roof is flat, causing some snow and ice to build up.
Attic insulation hadn’t been updated since the home was built!
Proper attic ventilation was never installed.

The difference attic insulation can make in a Detroit home

The lack of insulation updates was especially troubling to Larry. He mentioned that his winter heating bill can be as high as $600! Since he’s lived in the home for over 20 years, imagine his surprise when Pro Home Improvement told him that with the proper insulation in his attic, his energy bills could be reduced by 50-70%!

Larry was convinced. Pro was hired.

Pro’s Roofing Contractors Get to Work!

When the team from Pro Home Improvement arrived, Larry remarked that it seemed like an “army” arrived to work on his home. He should know, he’s a retired Army Sergeant.

Pro Home Improvement rebuilt everything at the roof level including all new roof decking and a Pro Grade roofing system by CertainTeed. Under the roof, they installed premium ventilation intake and exhaust to ensure the attic would now be getting the proper amount of airflow.

Pro also provided Pro Grade Cellulose insulation in the attic with vapor barrier, including a baffle in each rafter. This will allow Larry’s energy bills to come down by quite a bit.

Since this work was complete, Larry gave feedback on how his home feels now. Larry said, “Now (this summer) my home is nice and cool for the first time ever!”

Larry is happy and now had a fresh, new roof he can trust to last for many, many more years.

Testimonials

Roofing Testimonial Oak Park, MI

Before we even decided for Pro, we were impressed with how complete and unhurried the presentation compared to the others. Their quote was detailed for each item and option. My roof had complications and weather did not cooperate. The Pro personnel both on the job and by calls from the company were diligent in keeping us informed about everything that was happening and about what to expect. Extra patching was needed, as I expected and could see. They were clever and careful about protecting landscaping. From what I could sense, the work group was proud of being very good at their work and wanted to be sure to do the job right. I have already recommended the company to friends who need roofing done.

Gutters Testimonial Dundee, MI

The price was very reasonable. The customer service was excellent. The install was smooth. the perfect home improvement experience.

Gutters Testimonial St. Clair Shores, MI

I am very pleased with the installation and the crew that did it. They were very professional, very on task and did a great job from start to finish. I had a special request related to having a downspout accommodate a rain barrel and they did a very thoughtful and neat fix that I am very happy with. The new gutters and quality of installation have really improved the look of our house. Thanks for everything!

Insulation Testimonial Detroit, MI

Very professional and friendly company. They clearly explain the entire process to you and were flexible with scheduling. I would use them again in the future.

Gutters Testimonial Lakeville, MI

The work was scheduled at the time of the contract and the crew started as scheduled. We had both trim work and gutters installed. The crew doing the trim did an excellent job in poor weather conditions. The gutter crew showed up as the trim was being finished and were done in a couple hours. All the work was top quality. Any adjustments needed were made without a problem and the crews cleaned up before leaving.

Siding Testimonial Livonia, MI

Great company, they did the quality job that they were contracted to do and started when they said they would. If something is not right, rest assured they will correct it. Pro Home Improvement is an honest company that you can put your trust in.

Insulation Testimonial WESTLAND, MI

Everyone was great. From the sales rep that came to talk with us, our project manager and even the insulation workers. The job was done very quickly and professionally. It was great service all around.

Siding Testimonial Rochester Hills, MI

Each of the three "crews" demonstrated excellent skills and professionalism. The siding crew (Kaz, Stan, and Chris) offered good advice based on their extensive experience, fixing problems with the framing dating back to the original construction of the house in 1991. The gutter installers (Fred and, I think, Dave) took care of several special requests of mine, including downspout placement and extensions. Impressive attention to detail. Finally, Sam finished up the project, quickly reordering and installing replacement shutters (wrong gray) and crafting special caps for the eaves to improve aesthetics. My wife and I have had our share of difficulties with home renovations and upgrades in the past. This experience with PRO was truly a positive one.

Siding Testimonial Lincoln Park, MI

I'll keep this short. Every step of this job was performed as should be expected by professionals. I used to do this type of work so I know what to look for. I asked the PM if I was going to get a good work crew for my job and he immediately said, oh yes, I have two guys and one is a metal trim artist. Well, he was certainly correct. The two guys doing my job did not hurry their work. They performed it with skill and care. I could not be more pleased!! If you get these two guys for your job, they do get hungry by the middle of the day and they love Jet's Pizza and prefer the Aloha version. Feed your crew! They will appreciate it! Lastly, the job site was cleaned up after every installation day. It was like they were never there. I will be needing a new roof in the near future. I now know who I'm calling first...

Siding Testimonial Westland, MI

My total experience with PRO has been exceptional! It started with my first call to customer service. The gentleman who took my information was polite and very professional. The day of the meeting, the same gentleman called to remind me of my appointment. The salesperson, Tim was very professional, yet warm and friendly. He explained the differences between the 3 levels of siding but did not pressure me to select one over the other. I chose the middle of the road siding that included insulation that was not offered with the competitors who also quoted the project. The day my project was to start, they were a little late, but when I called to inquire, Justin stated that they were on their way and within an hour my job was starting. The installers were very professional and friendly. The siding looks better than I expected and I am sure that it increases the value of my property. Cleanup was good although they left a few screws and staples on the driveway. When the city inspector came to inspect the job, we were instantly approved! Like other reviewers, the inspector seemed pretty impressed with the quality of work. I would use PRO in the future without any hesitation and would gladly recommend them to anyone who asks! Thank you PRO!
