Taylor Premium Roofing provides professional roof inspections in Taylor, MI for residential and commercial properties across Downriver Wayne County. Every inspection we run in Taylor starts with one question the homeowner is rarely asked: was this house in the airport sound insulation program? If it was, the attic you are standing in is not the attic the builder framed, and the roof above it has to be read differently.
The Wayne County Airport Authority, working with the FAA off the 1992 Part 150 noise study, treated more than 2,400 houses in Taylor, Romulus, Huron Township, Westland and Dearborn Heights before the program closed in November 2006. The scope added insulation to attics, fitted acoustic windows and doors, sealed the envelope with caulk and put in new furnaces and central air conditioning. It did not include the roof.
So we measure. A tape held vertically over the top plate tells us how much fill is sitting above the outside wall and whether any clear channel remains between that fill and the underside of the deck. Anything under an inch there and the eave is effectively closed, whatever the perforated soffit panel outside looks like. That number goes in the report with a photograph beside it.
The rest of the attic half is straightforward and quick. Rust or frost rings on the nail shanks, staining on the sheathing between bays, whether a bath fan discharges outdoors or into the insulation, and probe readings taken down at the ceiling drywall rather than across the top of the fill where they read dry no matter what is happening underneath. A bath fan discharging into a Taylor attic is a common find and a cheap fix.
Outside we get onto any plane a ladder and a boot will safely take and cover the rest with a pole camera. Eave, rake, every penetration, the gutter line, wall flashing and the ridge, photographed and dated. Field condition is graded by the flex left in a lifted tab and the evenness of the granule loss, not by the year on the tax record.
The report ends with a number of seasons and a recommendation, and the recommendation to do nothing is one we write often. If your roof has eight winters in it, that is what the file says, along with the two details worth watching and a date to look again. That answer takes the same hour and costs you the same nothing as the other one.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — blown cellulose settled over the eave top plate, corrugated vent chutes fitted bay by bay, a perforated intake strip cut into the original soffit board, a rigid insulation dam holding fill back off the deck, the one-inch clear air space required above insulation, supplemental attic fill laid over original 1960s blanket — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Taylor and nearby communities including Southgate, Allen Park, Lincoln Park, Wyandotte.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof inspections
The difference between roof inspections that lasts and roof inspections that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with blown cellulose settled over the eave top plate, corrugated vent chutes fitted bay by bay, a perforated intake strip cut into the original soffit board, a rigid insulation dam holding fill back off the deck, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Taylor job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Downriver Wayne County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Taylor Chooses Taylor Premium Roofing
- ✓We measure how deep the insulation sits over your top plate before pricing anything, because on this housing that number decides whether a new roof will stay dry.
- ✓Thousands of houses here were sound-insulated under an airport noise program that never touched the roof. We ask whether yours was one, and we scope it differently if it was.
- ✓Intake is restored before any exhaust is added. We will decline to sell a ridge vent over a buried soffit and explain why at more length than you want.
- ✓The air path is a separate priced line beside the covering, with a figure for chutes, a figure for soffit work and a figure for ridge, so you can strike any of them.

Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof inspections work we do in Taylor follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
