Michigan homes are among the oldest roofing buyers serve
Age is the first thing to know about Michigan roofs. In the Census Bureau's table B25034 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024), 62.1% of the state's housing units were built before 1980, the ninth highest share of the 50 states. Table B25035 (2020-2024) puts the median year built at 1972, and 672,770 units date from 1939 or earlier.
Owners are the people who sign a roofing contract. Table B25003 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024) counts 2,984,190 owner-occupied units out of 4,076,369 occupied units in Michigan, so most households in the state are owners rather than renters.
Michigan hail reports and federal storm declarations
The NOAA Storm Events 2025 file holds 58 Michigan records with event type Hail. The same 2025 file lists 308 Michigan records with event type Thunderstorm Wind, a separate category that this page reports but does not add to the hail count.
Two Michigan major disasters for severe storms or tornadoes were declared from January 1, 2023 through October 7, 2026, according to FEMA's Disaster Declarations Summaries: DR-4757 on February 8, 2024 and DR-4925 on June 30, 2026. Both are titled severe storms, tornadoes and flooding.
Counting method: a hail record is one Storm Events entry with event type "Hail" and a 2025 begin date, and one storm can produce several entries because each county or forecast zone gets its own. FEMA counts are distinct state major disaster declarations whose incident type or title is severe storms, tornadoes or a hurricane; severe winter storms are excluded.
How Michigan licenses roofing work
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 7, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
Roofing is a named state trade in Michigan. The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs homeowner guidance (LARA, as of October 2026) says that contractors offering work of $600 or more in labor and materials must be licensed. A maintenance and alteration license lists the trades the holder qualified for, and roofing, gutters and siding are among them.
Claim scope is the other rule a Michigan roofing buyer hears about. The Department of Insurance and Financial Services storm guidance (DIFS, as of October 2026) states that when hail and high winds lift shingles, a homeowners policy covers only the damaged portion of the roof, and the insurer is not required to replace the whole roof.
The residential builder license and the home solicitation cancellation period are covered on leads in Michigan.
What Michigan roofing buyers filter on
Michigan buyers mostly set filters around older owner-occupied homes and the scope of the job:
- Project type: repair of a damaged section or a full replacement, which matters because a claim may pay only for the damaged portion.
- Insurance claim status: whether a claim is filed, planned or not part of the job.
- Homeowner status: owners sign the contract; renters are screened out.
- ZIP code: buyers match ZIP codes to the counties their licensed crews cover.

Michigan roofing lead questions
How old are Michigan homes that roofing leads come from?
Older than in most states. The median Michigan housing unit was built in 1972, and 62.1% were built before 1980, in the Census Bureau's ACS 5-year estimates for 2020-2024.
Does a Michigan roofer need a state license?
LARA's homeowner guidance (as of October 2026) says work of $600 or more in labor and materials requires a license, and roofing is one of the maintenance and alteration trades. This is general information, not legal advice.
Will a Michigan homeowners claim pay for a whole new roof after hail?
Not necessarily. Michigan's Department of Insurance and Financial Services says a policy covers only the damaged portion of the roof and the insurer is not required to replace the entire roof. Buyers who want full replacements filter on project type.
Can a buyer take Michigan roofing leads in Detroit only?
Yes. Roofing leads in Detroit and its suburbs can be bought by ZIP code, and the same filter can add or drop Grand Rapids, Lansing or any other area. Leads are exclusive by default, with shared delivery on request.
