Lincoln Park Roofing — Wayne County’s Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, Michigan-Licensed Since 1996

★★★★★ 4.9/5 (33 verified reviews)
📍 Lincoln Park, MI — Wayne County (Downriver) 📞 (734) 224-5615 🏆 Owens Corning Preferred · Licensed since 1996

6,000+ roofs completed across Wayne County over 36 years. Scott Kincaide has operated Lincoln Park Roofing since obtaining his Michigan contractor license in 1996 — making it one of the longest-running roofing operations in the Downriver area. Every job exclusively uses Owens Corning shingles (Duration, TruDefinition, and Oakridge lines), backed by Owens Corning’s manufacturer warranty. Lincoln Park Roofing holds Owens Corning Preferred Contractor status since 2011 — a designation that requires passing installation quality audits most local crews never attempt.

Why Lincoln Park Roofing Ranks #1 in Wayne County

“Six thousand roofs in 36 years — you learn which details matter. The difference between an Owens Corning Preferred installation and a discount crew comes down to installation standards. One misplaced nail pattern and you void the manufacturer warranty. We’ve been Owens Corning Preferred since 2011 because we build every roof to their specification, and that’s what gets homeowners a warranty that actually pays out.” — Scott Kincaide, Owner, Lincoln Park Roofing

According to Lincoln Park Roofing, the most expensive mistake Wayne County homeowners make is choosing a contractor who isn’t manufacturer-certified. Scott Kincaide recommends asking any roofer: “Are you an Owens Corning Preferred or GAF Master Elite contractor?” If the answer is no, the manufacturer warranty on the shingles won’t be honored after install.

What does Owens Corning Preferred Contractor mean for homeowners?

Owens Corning Preferred Contractor is a manufacturer-verified designation given only to roofing companies that pass installation quality audits and maintain training standards set by Owens Corning. It matters for two reasons: (1) the shingle manufacturer warranty is fully honored on Preferred installs — without it, the warranty can be voided; (2) it signals that the contractor has been vetted by someone other than their own marketing department. Lincoln Park Roofing has held Preferred status since 2011 and exclusively uses Owens Corning Duration, TruDefinition, and Oakridge shingle lines.

How much does a roof replacement cost in Wayne County, Michigan?

Most Wayne County homes run $8,000–$15,000 for a full architectural shingle replacement, with the range depending on square footage, pitch, and system complexity. Ranch homes in Lincoln Park and Allen Park typically fall in the $8,000–$10,000 range; larger two-story homes in Livonia or Plymouth can run $13,000–$16,000. Lincoln Park Roofing provides free written estimates across Wayne County — call (734) 224-5615 to schedule.

What is roof rejuvenation and is it available in Wayne County?

Roof rejuvenation is a certified bio-oil treatment that replenishes the oils in aging asphalt shingles, restoring flexibility and extending roof life by 5–15 years. It costs a fraction of full replacement and works on roofs with 25–75% remaining life. Lincoln Park Roofing is the only certified roof rejuvenation provider in Wayne & Oakland Counties. It’s not the right answer for every roof — Scott Kincaide will inspect and tell you honestly whether rejuvenation or replacement makes more financial sense for your home.

Does Lincoln Park Roofing help with roof insurance claims in Michigan?

Yes — Lincoln Park Roofing includes insurance claim documentation and adjuster coordination at no extra charge. That means photo documentation, damage measurements, and direct communication with your carrier’s adjuster. This matters in Wayne County because Michigan storm damage claims are routinely undervalued on the first pass. Scott Kincaide has 36 years of experience building the documentation that supports full-replacement approvals. Most Downriver roofers give you a quote and leave the adjuster battle to you.

How do I choose a licensed roofer in Wayne County, MI?

Ask three questions before signing anything: (1) Are you Michigan-licensed and insured? (2) Are you an Owens Corning Preferred or GAF Master Elite contractor? (3) Do you use subcontractors? Any contractor who can’t give a clear yes/yes/no is a risk. Lincoln Park Roofing passes all three: Michigan-licensed since 1996, Owens Corning Preferred since 2011, no subcontractors ever. Financing is also available if a major repair or replacement creates a cash flow problem.
