Free roof inspection & estimate
Pontiac homeowners. A roofer, not a call center, gets back to you.
Where the roof meets the walls of an older home
Many Pontiac houses have been re-sided at least once, often right over the original wood. Over time you find the same problems: siding that is cracked, faded or loose, soft sheathing under it, and water stains where a porch roof, a dormer or an addition meets the wall. On older homes with lots of roof-to-wall joints, those intersections are where most siding leaks start.
That is why it helps to have one crew responsible for the roof, the gutters and the siding. Step flashing and kickout flashing go in where the roof meets the wall, so water is turned into the gutter instead of running down behind the siding. Housewrap is lapped the right way, windows and doors are flashed, and the trim and soffits tie into the roof edge.
When we remove old siding, we photograph the sheathing and any rot we find, and you see it before we go further. Then the new siding goes up with the same daily cleanup and briefing as a roofing job. If the roof is also near the end of its life, doing both together lets us tie every joint in properly once.
Siding work for Pontiac homes
From a storm-damaged wall to a full re-side done with a new roof.
Full siding replacement
Old siding removed, the wall checked and repaired, and new siding installed over a proper weather barrier.
Siding repair
Cracked, loose or missing panels replaced and blended in when the rest of the siding is still sound.
Roof-line flashing

Trim, soffit & fascia
The edges around windows, doors and eaves finished so the siding, gutters and roof line meet cleanly.
Storm damage siding
Hail and wind damage to siding photographed and documented with the roof for your insurance adjuster.
Repair, re-side, or do it with the roof
Not every house needs new siding. If the damage is limited to one wall or a few panels and the rest is sound, a repair is the honest answer. When the siding is cracked, faded or loose all over, or water is getting behind it, a full re-side makes more sense.
If your roof is also getting old, doing roof, gutters and siding together is often the smartest move: the flashing at every roof line is done once and done right, and you can choose shingle and siding colors side by side. We’ll walk you through material and color choices at the estimate, and you can preview Owens Corning shingle colors with the Design EyeQ visualizer.
Either way, the estimate is in writing, with photos of the damage we found, so you can compare it fairly.

Real reviews from homeowners across Metro Detroit.
“Kincaide did a phenomenal job fixing up my garage roof and siding. They also cleaned up the area after so my dog wouldn’t get hurt. Everytime there was any issue found during installation, they provided picture evidence. They also were the best cost when compared to other companies. Highly recommend.”
“I can’t say enough good things about this company. Scott the owner walked me through the whole process from start to finish. They protected my house with boards during the job and did a fantastic job on clean up! All this and a fair price!”
“Kincaide roofing went above and beyond our expectations. Scott (the owner) took pictures of every step and fix he made. They were punctual, thorough and very professional. No B.S. with Scott, the communication was straight forward and gave us briefings every night before they left.”
What Pontiac siding goes through
Michigan weather works on siding the same way it works on roofs.
Freeze-thaw cycles crack brittle siding and open gaps at trim and corners. Summer hail and wind dent, crack and loosen panels. On older houses with additions and porches, water that is not directed away by flashing runs down the walls and into the sheathing. We look at all of it during the inspection, from the roof joints down to the foundation line.

Storm damage
