Taylor Premium Roofing provides professional tile roofing in Taylor, MI for residential and commercial properties across Downriver Wayne County. There is almost no tile in Taylor, and this page is mostly about why adding some would be a poor use of your money rather than about how we would go about it. We do maintain the little that exists.
The case against starts at the appraisal, not at the roof. A concrete or clay tile roof on a fifteen-square house here would cost a meaningful fraction of the median $141,200 property value, and there is no comparable sale anywhere in the Downriver communities for an appraiser to lean on. Money spent that far above the street does not come out again at closing. It is a preference purchase and it should be made with open eyes.
The second problem is service, and it lasts as long as the roof does. Nobody in the Downriver market works tile weekly. There is no local salvage yard, no color lot to draw on and no crew twenty minutes away who has set a broken field tile this month. When a limb takes out six tiles in 2034 you will be hunting a specialist across the metro and paying his travel.
Then the assembly. Tile is a batten system, and battens plus underlayment plus a lift-and-relay cycle every few decades is a maintenance commitment quite unlike asphalt. The underlayment expires long before the tile does, which means the whole roof comes off and goes back on once during your ownership even though nothing about it looked broken from the street. Very few owners are told that before they sign.
If you want a roof that outlasts asphalt on this housing, standing seam steel asks far less of the house, costs less than a properly built tile roof and is serviced by people who actually work here. That is the recommendation we make instead, and we make it before anybody has taken a deposit rather than afterwards.
Where tile already exists we look after it honestly. Broken field tiles get matched salvage where it can be sourced, cracked mortar at hips and ridges is cut out and rebedded, and the usual real scope is a lift-and-relay to renew the underlayment while the tile itself is still perfectly sound. Replacing a working tile roof with asphalt is a conversion we will price, and one we will ask you to think about twice.
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 tile roofing
The difference between tile roofing that lasts and tile roofing 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 tile roofing 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.
