About this project
We replaced the roof and installed new siding and gutters on this home on La Salle Boulevard in Warren. The work on La Salle wrapped up in March 2026. The detached garage was sided in the same green, so the two buildings now look like a set.
The front photo was taken with snow still sitting on the new shingles. It shows olive green lap siding, dark gray trim around the windows and corners, and a row of box vents across the roof. In the second photo the garage wears the same siding, with dark trim wrapped around its window and down each corner.

What the snow on this roof tells you
Look at the front photo and you can count the box vents near the top of the roof. The snow has melted in patches around them. Attic vents let warm, moist air out. In a Michigan winter that matters, because a warm attic melts snow from below, and the water runs down to the cold eave and refreezes. The icicles along this eave are a normal sight in a Warren winter, and they are a reminder of why the attic and the roof edge need attention.
Done right, a roof replacement is the time to check that air comes in low at the soffits and leaves near the top, and that ice and water protection runs up from the eaves. Those layers are hidden once the shingles go on, so they have to be right the first time. Siding the garage at the same time as the house was the other good call here. A garage left in old siding tends to look like it belongs to a different property.
Questions homeowners ask about roof and siding projects
Can new siding go on in winter?
Yes. These photos were taken in snow. Crews plan each day around the weather, and siding takes a little extra care in the cold, but winter does not stop the work.
What happens on the day the old roof comes off?
Expect noise, a dump trailer in the driveway and a crew on the roof for much of the day. You do not need to be home the whole time, but someone should be reachable if a question comes up.
Do you work in Warren?
Yes, Warren is one of the cities where we work the most. We have completed more than 130 jobs there, more than 55 of them roofs. For more roofs like this one, see our Warren roofing page.
