Okemos Roofing Contractor

Our Okemos 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.

Step flashing at chimney walls is the number one leak source we see in Okemos. Improper step flashing causes roof leaks. It's that simple. We install new step flashing with a chimney cricket for proper water diversion, sealed with Geocel tripolymer sealant. Fix it once, fix it right.

Wind damage doesn't always look obvious from the ground. Lifted shingles, broken seals, exposed nail heads. You can't see any of that without getting on the roof. Our Okemos inspector does a full 27-point inspection, free of charge.

New construction roof installation following IRC Section R905 and local Okemos building code amendments. We calculate ventilation per IRC R806 (1:150 ratio reduced to 1:300 when 50% is within 3ft of ridge. Synthetic underlayment per ASTM D226, ice barrier per ASTM D1970 at eaves in freeze-thaw climate zones. Manufacturer-certified installation locks in the full system warranty.

Metal roofing in Michigan makes sense. It reflects heat, handles high winds, and sheds hail better than shingles. We install standing seam, corrugated, and metal shingle panels.

Architectural shingles are what 80% of Okemos homeowners choose. They look better than 3-tab, last longer, and handle wind better. We install GAF Timberline, Owens Corning Duration, and CertainTeed Landmark.

Modified bitumen is our go-to for residential flat roofs in Okemos. Two-ply torch-applied system with a granulated cap sheet. It handles foot traffic, thermal cycling, and Michigan UV better than single-ply at the residential scale.

TPO is our most-requested commercial membrane in Michigan. Reflective, energy-efficient, and it welds together at the seams for a watertight bond. We install 60-mil and 80-mil systems with 15-20 year manufacturer warranties.

Clogged gutters cause fascia rot. We see it on every other house in Okemos. 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.

After we tarp and secure your roof, we document everything for insurance purposes. Photos, measurements, damage descriptions. Your adjuster gets a professional report, not a handwritten note.

Skylight installation costs $1,200-$3,500 in Okemos depending on size, type, and roof pitch. That includes the unit, flashing kit, interior trim, and roof patch-in. We handle everything from the outside in.
