Trusted Big Rapids Roofing Contractor | 14+ Years

Our Big Rapids crews tear off and replace 15-20 roofs a month. That kind of volume means tight installs, clean job sites, and no wasted time. Most homes are done in a day. Two-story steep-pitch jobs take two.

Clogged gutters cause fascia rot. We see it on every other house in Big Rapids. We install new gutters with proper pitch, adequate downspout capacity, and optional gutter guards if you're done cleaning them twice a year.

Annual roof inspections catch small problems before they become expensive ones. A cracked pipe boot is a $150 fix. Ignoring it means $3,000 in ceiling and wall water damage. We recommend an inspection every 2-3 years for roofs under 10 years old, and annually after that.

We keep tarps, plywood, and common repair materials on every truck. When you call (877) 586-1316 for an emergency, our crew shows up ready to work. Not ready to give you a sales pitch.

A skylight installed wrong will leak. The flashing has to integrate with the shingle courses. Step flashing on the sides, headwall flashing on top, and a sill pan underneath. We use manufacturer flashing kits because they're engineered to work with the skylight frame.
