Benefits of a Professional Roof Installation

A roof does more than keep out rain and snow — it affects how your home looks, how it holds up, and even how much energy you use. Professional installation comes with a number of advantages, including:

Longevity: Professionals use proven installation techniques and work with high-quality materials to make your roof last longer.
Energy efficiency: Certain materials and expert fitting and sealing, to stop air leakage, can help you use less energy to heat and cool your property.
Protection: A professionally installed roof can protect your home from damage caused by storms, snow, and extreme temperatures.
Structural integrity: Professional installers distribute the weight of the roof evenly to make sure they don't create structural weaknesses.
Professional look: Opting for the professionals means neat seams, sleek installs, and a beautiful finished look.
Quality tradespeople: Licensed roofers work safely, efficiently, and under their own insurance.
Guaranteed craftsmanship: The best roofing companies offer warranties on their work and materials that cover you against defects and errors.

Premium Materials

At Story Roofing, we work with all the most popular roofing materials. They fall into two main categories: shingles and metal roofs.

Shingles are a type of roof covering made up of small, overlapping elements. They give properties a traditional look and are easy to repair, as individual shingles can be easily replaced if they become lost or damaged. Asphalt shingles are an affordable fiberglass-based option. There are also metal shingles made from copper, steel, and aluminum. These options combine the classic good looks of shingles with the superior strength of metal roofing material.
Metal roofing is more durable and has modern, good looks. Some options, like standing seam steel, come in a myriad of colors. Others, like super-tough copper, have a distinctive warm metallic look that will subtly change as it ages. Copper is the most expensive option, but as it's the longest-lasting roofing material, it can be a great investment in Northern Michigan.

Final inspection and sign off: This final step ensures the installation meets our standards before we show you the roof. This is your opportunity to ask any questions before we sign off on the project.

Protecting Your Roof from Northern Michigan's Toughest Seasons

We've been a part of the Northern Michigan community for more than 50 years, so we understand local weather and the ways it can impact roofs. With Gaylord receiving a record 204.6 inches of snow last season and Traverse City recording 152.5 inches, there's a lot of pressure on local roofs. Wind events across the Great Lakes in spring can also bring strong low-pressure systems and gusts exceeding 50 mph.

We'll share our expertise with you and help you choose a roofing material that will withstand these seasonal challenges. We also apply our knowledge to the installation process, taking every measure to make sure your roof is weather-resistant and capable of protecting your property from damage.

Warranties and Quality Assurance

Nothing matters more than your satisfaction, so we follow quality assurance processes and offer detailed warranties for your peace of mind. We carefully inspect every new roof to make sure it meets our standards. We'll also encourage you to look over our work and ensure that you approve. We stand by our workmanship with a guarantee on our labor. Your roof is also protected by warranties issued by our material partners.

FAQs

Here are the answers to some of the questions customers frequently ask about roof installations.

What types of roofing materials do you recommend for Northern Michigan weather?

There are several quality roofing materials that can withstand Northern Michigan's extreme weather. If your budget allows, we recommend metal roof installation because metals like copper and steel are so durable and energy-efficient. However, if you want a more affordable option, asphalt shingles are a versatile choice. We can also easily replace individual shingles if they become lost or damaged in storms or high winds.

How long does a typical roof installation take?

Installing a new roof typically takes one to three days. Factors like the size and complexity of your project, your chosen materials, and the weather can affect installation time.

Do you offer financing options for a new roof?

We offer a $0 down financing option with a low 9.99% interest rate to help you get a new roof sooner. You can then pay off your loan in manageable installments for 120 months. Visit our finance page to apply for pre-approval.
