Roofing in East Lansing – Comparing Roofing Materials

Contents

East Lansing, MI is one of the places where you won’t find a shortage of diverse roofing materials. Because the climate in Michigan can be responsible for just about any type of weather under the sun, local roofing providers have adapted to the demand to provide a huge variety of impressive, robust and stylish roofing products that you can buy depending on your specific requirements.

 

If you find it hard to figure out exactly what to buy, and you’re overwhelmed with the variety of roofing East Lansing options that are available, your best choice is to call on your local roofers to help you out. In most cases, they will focus primarily on a few materials that are considered to be better to use in Michigan than others. These will include:

 

  • Metal roofing materials that can be adapted to almost any use and any weather;
  • Wood shakes, which are a good choice for giving your home some added heat insulation;
  • Slate tiles designed to last for more than a century as long as they are properly maintained;
  • EPDM flat roofing installations known for their weatherproof qualities.

 

Of course, some factors in comparing and choosing some of these materials will depend on where your house is located and how much insulation you need based on the local weather. However, price is also a factor, as you’ll find EPDM and metal roofs are much more affordable than all the others. Additional factors to ask your roofers about include, tensile strength, low versus high maintenance materials, UV resistance, fire-resistant qualities and upgrading capabilities.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
