Q&A

What roofing materials do you commonly work with for homes in Grand Rapids?

We install a variety of materials to handle our local climate. For sloped roofs, we commonly use asphalt shingles, classic cedar shake, and durable composite slate. For low-slope or flat roofs, we install rubber roofing membranes. Each material is chosen for its ability to withstand Michigan's weather, and we can help you select the best option for your home's style and budget.

How do you handle common local issues like roof flashing corrosion and deck rot?

In Grand Rapids, moisture from rain and snow can lead to flashing corrosion and deck rot over time. During our thorough inspections, we pay close attention to these vulnerable areas. For corrosion, we typically remove the damaged flashing and install new, properly sealed material. If we find deck rot, we replace the affected sheathing to ensure a solid foundation before any new roofing is installed. Addressing these issues promptly prevents more extensive and costly interior damage to your home.

Do you handle skylight installation and replacement?

Yes, skylight installation and replacement are core parts of our roofing services. Whether you're adding natural light to a new space or replacing an old, leaky unit, we ensure the installation is watertight and properly integrated with your roofing system. Proper flashing around the skylight is critical, especially in our climate, to prevent future leaks and moisture damage.
