Roofers in Hazel Park, MIRoof replacement & repair estimates in Hazel Park, Michigan

A worn garage roof and a leaking house roof can be assessed separately or as one project. Roofers Royal Oak publishes roofing information for Hazel Park homeowners in ZIP 48030. Tell us which roof needs attention, where the leak or damage appears and whether a narrow driveway limits access.

Hazel Park's dumpster rules affect where torn-off shingles can go, and its work hours affect the schedule. The sections below explain those requirements and what to check before work starts.

Hazel Park homes and their roofs

The Census Bureau's 2020–2024 survey puts the median Hazel Park home's build year at 1955. The city's 2020 Master Plan describes older houses in its southern and western neighborhoods, so a roof assessment should consider previous layers and the boards beneath them.

Opening an older roof can turn up more than one layer of shingles or original plank decking. Ask how the estimate prices decking if some needs replacing. Many lots also have a detached garage at the back; mention it and any restricted access in your inquiry.

Narrow lots and tight side yards

Hazel Park's zoning guide for new homes and additions sets out how close together houses sit: lots 37 feet wide or less use the city's "Cottage" building type, and homes must be at least 10 feet apart. That's a building rule, not a roofing one, but it matters on re-roof day. With a few feet between houses, ask the roofer how they'll protect your neighbor's side, and where the ladders, the shingle delivery and the torn-off material will go.

Dumpster permits in Hazel Park

Most tear-offs fill a roll-off dumpster, and Hazel Park's residential dumpster permit (revised April 2026) sets these rules:

• The permit costs $50 and lasts up to 30 days. A renewal is half price.
• "Dumpsters shall be located entirely upon the driveway of the property unless specifically approved by the City." Without a driveway, the Fire and Police Departments must agree before it goes in the street.
• It needs reflective tape on all four sides, the owner or operator's name, address and phone number on two sides, and the permit posted on the house where it can be seen from the street.
• It can't sit within 40 feet of an intersection or 15 feet of a fire hydrant, or on an arterial or collector road.
• The permit holder has to repair any damage to the street, curb or sidewalk.

Permits, contractors and work hours

Hazel Park's building permit application lists "ROOF" as a type of improvement and asks for the builder's license number and expiration date. Since March 31, 2026, the application fee for a building permit is $50. The city doesn't publish a separate re-roof fee, so ask the Building Department, at 111 East Nine Mile Road or (248) 546-4075, what your job needs.

Contractors register with the city for $15, with copies of their current contractor's license and driver's license. A homeowner doing their own work in the home they live in can sign the Homeowner Affidavit on the application instead. The same application prints the city's hours in capitals: "CONSTRUCTION WORK HOURS - 7:00 A.M. TO 8:00 P.M. ONLY".

Storms and trees

The National Weather Service's Detroit office singled out Hazel Park after the June 25, 2023 storms. Most areas saw damage consistent with 50 to 65 mph straight-line winds, and "Parts of Romulus, Dearborn, and Hazel Park were reported to have localized stronger downburst wind gusts." Close to 80,000 customers lost power across the state. After winds like that, check from the ground for missing or lifted shingles along the ridge and roof edges, and for dented or pulled-away gutters.

Hazel Park is also on the Michigan DNR's list of 2025 Tree City USA communities, so mature street trees are part of the picture when the roofer looks at gutters and overhanging limbs.

• Roof replacement: tear-off to the decking, new underlayment, ice and water shield, flashing, ventilation and shingles.

• Garage roofs: detached garage roofs, and what a garage re-roof involves.
• Ice dams: why they form at the eaves and what fixes them for good.

What a roof costs in Hazel Park
