Harder Construction | General Contractors & Roofing in Jenison, MI 49428

Absolutely. When we construct a new single-family, modular, or manufactured home, we can specify roofing materials with built-in algae resistance, which is a smart choice for our humid Michigan climate. Proper attic ventilation and roof design from the start are key to preventing moisture buildup that leads to stains and premature shingle curling, giving your new home a durable, long-lasting roof.

Great question. For any new structure, including a guest house or ADU, we treat the roof as a critical system. We use high-quality, algae-resistant shingles rated for our area and install them with precision, ensuring proper nail placement and sealing. We also design and install adequate ventilation specific to the ADU's size and layout. This proactive approach during construction is the best defense against the curling and staining common in our neighborhood.

It's a conversation worth having. While traditional asphalt shingles work well with proper materials and installation, we can discuss alternatives like metal roofing during your new home construction planning. Metal roofs are highly resistant to algae and curling and excel in our weather. As your local contractor, we'll guide you through the pros, cons, and costs of all options to find the best, most durable solution for your Jenison home.
