Serving Downriver Wayne County

Downriver Roofing Contractor

Every Downriver community, one local crew

Downriver is the name Metro Detroit gives the communities in Wayne County just south of Detroit, along and near the Detroit River. The river bends south here on its way to Lake Erie, so heading to these towns from Detroit means going down the river. The region runs from River Rouge, Ecorse, Lincoln Park and Allen Park through Wyandotte, Southgate, Riverview and Trenton, out to Taylor and Romulus, and south to Grosse Ile, Brownstown, Woodhaven, Gibraltar, Flat Rock and Rockwood.

BrightView Construction has been part of Downriver for over 30 years. Our shop sits at 1605 Ford Ave in Wyandotte, right in the middle of the region, so a crew can reach any Downriver community quickly for an estimate, a repair, or same-day storm tarping.

Downriver homes have a lot in common. The northern river towns grew up in the 1920s through the 1940s around the auto plants and steel mills, so they are full of older brick homes, bungalows and capes. Southgate and Taylor filled in during the 1950s through the 1970s with ranches and split-levels, and the southern communities still mix newer subdivisions with rural lots. All of them take wind off the river and the same freeze-thaw winters. Spring and summer storms lift shingles, and ice dams find every weak spot in the flashing and ventilation. We build every Downriver roof for that weather, with Owens Corning systems installed by an Owens Corning Preferred contractor.
