Hansons

★★★★★ 4.4 [Google (4,230 reviews)](https://www.google.com/maps/search/Hansons) as of August 2026

Great Lakes multi-trade veteran. In-house roofing crews with 25+ years of regional experience.

![Remy](/images/remy/face-6aa3719e.png) Remy's Take

Hansons is a Great Lakes multi-trade specialist running its own in-house crews across windows, roofing, and siding, backed by a four-tier Smart Choice warranty system (only the top Smart Choice tier carries the full Lifetime Guarantee — ask which tier your quote includes). Customer reviews consistently describe the sales process as informative rather than pushy, and installation crews are frequently praised for speed on same-day multi-window jobs. Hansons is also an exclusive ProVia siding dealer in its markets, which is worth asking about if you're bundling projects.

Erie Home

★★★★★ 4.5 [Google (1,400+ reviews)](https://www.google.com/search?q=Erie+Home+reviews+google+rating) as of August 2026

Stone-coated metal roofing specialist. 34+ states, 50-year transferable warranty, $0 down financing.

![Remy](/images/remy/face-6aa3719e.png) Remy's Take

Erie Home specializes in stone-coated steel roofing — a heavier-duty alternative to asphalt shingles with a 50-year transferable warranty — and reviews back up their one-day installation claim even on large roofs, with repeated praise for thorough cleanup. Metal roofing costs more upfront than asphalt shingles; the tradeoff is longevity and storm resistance, which matters most in hail- or wind-prone regions.

## Why Does Roof Replacement Cost What It Does in Detroit?

Installed cost in Detroit runs roughly **3% above** the national average for this trade. That figure is not a cost-of-living index — it is built from Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data for the Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI metro area, weighted by the roughly **22%** of a roof replacement job that is labor rather than material.

Local trade wages sit about **14% above** the national figure, but the installed price moves less than that, because material ships at national prices no matter where you live. This is why a quote from a high-wage metro is rarely as far above the national average as people expect — and why a suspiciously cheap quote in an expensive market is worth a second look.
