Our Services

Michigan winters demand roofing materials that withstand heavy snow loads (40+ pounds per square foot), ice dams, and freeze-thaw cycles. Asphalt shingles remain popular in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, but metal roofing is gaining ground for superior durability and wind resistance.

Why Local Expertise Matters

Washtenaw County weather is relentless. Understanding the region's climate and building codes is critical to quality work.

Washtenaw County experiences straight-line winds exceeding 80+ mph, snow loads beyond 40 pounds per square foot, and hailstones larger than golf balls. Metal roofs withstand hail impacts up to 2.5 inches while asphalt shingles fail at 1 inch. This difference determines whether you sleep peacefully or face emergency repairs.

Ice Dams & Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Michigan winters create ice dams when melted snow refreezes at roof edges. Water backs up under shingles, entering attics and walls. Proper attic ventilation, insulation, and gutter management prevent this damage. We install ice and water shields in vulnerable valleys and eaves.

Code Compliance in Washtenaw Townships

Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Dexter, Chelsea, and Saline each maintain distinct building codes. Some neighborhoods—especially historic districts in Ann Arbor—require architectural review. We manage all permits and inspections, ensuring your project meets local standards.

Historic Preservation & Modern Architecture

Washtenaw County homes span Greek Revival, Tudor Revival, Craftsman, Colonial, and Midcentury Modern styles. Materials and colors must respect architectural character. We select roofing shingles and siding colors that honor your home's design while meeting performance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle permit applications for Washtenaw County roofing and siding projects?

Yes. Each municipality has different requirements. We manage the entire permit process—applications, inspections, and compliance documentation—so you don't have to.

Why do ice dams form on Michigan roofs, and how do you prevent them?

Ice dams occur when warm air from your attic melts snow at the roof edge, then it refreezes into a ridge. Proper insulation, ventilation, and ice and water shields underneath vulnerable areas stop this. Clear gutters also help water drain freely.

What's the difference between metal and asphalt roofing for Washtenaw County?

Metal roofs shed snow, withstand 80+ mph winds, and resist hail up to 2.5 inches. Asphalt shingles are cheaper, popular, but require more maintenance in harsh winters. Metal lasts 50+ years; asphalt typically 20–25 years in Michigan's climate.

Do historic neighborhoods in Ann Arbor have special siding and roofing requirements?

Some neighborhoods require Design Review Board approval. We're familiar with Ann Arbor's historic standards and help select materials and colors that respect architectural character while meeting modern performance needs.

Can you repair just one or two shingles, or do entire sections need replacement?

We can patch isolated damage, but if curling, cracking, and granule loss cover multiple areas, full roof replacement may be more cost-effective long-term, especially before winter.

How do you protect my landscaping and property during siding installation?

We establish work zones, cover landscaping, and use protective tarping. All debris is removed daily. We schedule work to minimize disruption to your neighbors and property.
