Roofing for Whitmore Lake homes
Whitmore Lake’s mix of year-round homes and former lake cottages, many of them updated and expanded over the years, straddles the Washtenaw and Livingston county line just north of Ann Arbor, and we work throughout the community.
We install and repair asphalt shingle, metal, and flat roofing systems, and we back our shingle roofs with a lifetime workmanship guarantee. Whether you need a full tear-off and replacement, storm damage repair, or a second opinion before you file an insurance claim, our crews handle the job from inspection to cleanup.
Built for Whitmore Lake weather. Lakefront wind exposure plus Michigan snow load is tough on Whitmore Lake homes, especially older cottage-style houses. That punishes shingles, lifts flashing, and lets ice back up under the eaves.
Permits handled for you. Permit requirements vary by location around Whitmore Lake. When your project needs one, we pull the permit and handle the inspection for you.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Many homes around the lake started as cottages and have been added onto over time, which can mean mixed rooflines and older framing. We assess the whole roof and recommend wind-rated materials suited to the lakefront exposure.
Most residential roof replacements take one to two days, depending on the size and pitch of the roof, the number of layers being torn off, and the weather. Larger or more complex roofs can take longer. We protect your landscaping and gutters and do a full magnetic nail sweep before we leave.
Yes. We document hail and wind damage with photos, meet your adjuster on site when possible, and provide a detailed estimate that matches the scope of work, so your claim reflects the real cost of repair.
We install architectural (dimensional) asphalt shingles, standing-seam and metal roofing, and flat or low-slope membrane systems for porches, additions, and commercial buildings. During a free estimate we recommend the best fit for your home, your roof slope, and your budget.
