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

Hazel Park lets a roll-off dumpster sit only on the driveway unless the city approves otherwise. Roofers Royal Oak takes roofing requests from Hazel Park, just south of I-696 with Ferndale to the west and Madison Heights to the north, and passes each one to a roofing contractor who works in ZIP 48030. Say whether it's a repair, a new roof or the garage when you ask.

Many Hazel Park houses are decades old and sit close together, and the city also sets the hours when work can run. Both shape how a re-roof is planned here.

Hazel Park homes and their roofs

The city's 2020 Master Plan says Hazel Park's first houses went up in the late 1910s and early 1920s near John R and 9 Mile, many of them Sears kit houses, and that residential building "boomed after 1922", with many residents "building their own homes on evenings and weekends." It notes that the southern and western parts of the city are generally older than the north and east.

The Census Bureau's 2020–2024 survey puts the median home's build year at 1955, with 19.5% of homes built in 1939 or earlier. By our count of the same figures, about 65% predate 1960. Nearly nine in ten homes are detached single-family houses.

The plan describes the neighborhoods by age: Webster/Wanda "among Hazel Park's older neighborhoods", built mostly before 1940; Scout Park with 1940s and 1950s houses that are "smaller and have more uniformity"; Green Acres Park built mostly between 1940 and 1960; and Kennedy Park, a newer area that includes The Courts, a 1970s infill development.

On a house this age, opening the roof can turn up more than one old layer of shingles or original plank decking, so ask how the estimate prices decking if some needs replacing. Many lots also have a detached garage at the back; if it needs a roof too, say so in the request.

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 repair and roof replacement in Hazel Park

• 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
