Who is Lapeer County Roofing?
Lapeer County Roofing is a licensed and insured roofing company with 25+ years of experience, focused on storm damage, roof repair and roof replacement for homes and commercial buildings. We fix what wind, hail, heavy rain, ice and falling limbs do to roofs in Lapeer County, Michigan. We do not chase every kind of roofing job; we concentrate on getting damaged roofs watertight and repaired correctly, or replaced when a repair will not hold.
That focus shapes everything else. A storm call is different from a planned project. The homeowner is usually worried, sometimes there is water on the floor, and the first job is to stop things from getting worse. We would rather do that part well than spread ourselves across work we have not built our business around.
Most of the roofs we see are asphalt shingle, the standard on Lapeer County houses. We know how those roofs fail: tabs that crease and lift in wind, granules knocked loose by hail, flashing that pulls away from a chimney, vent boots that crack after enough winters. When we explain a problem, we point to the actual spot and tell you why it happened.
Where do we work?
We work on homes and commercial buildings throughout Lapeer County. That includes the city of Lapeer, Imlay City, Metamora, Columbiaville and Hadley, along with the other villages and rural townships in the county. In-town houses, farmhouses and homes on wooded acreage all bring different roof problems, and we see all of them.
The county is mostly country. Open fields let summer wind pick up speed before it reaches a house, and wooded lots put branches over the roof. Village centers have older homes with chimneys, dormers and years of patchwork. Knowing which kind of place a house sits in helps us guess where to look first, though we always check the whole roof. Our service areas page has notes on each community.
How do we handle a storm damage call?
We protect the house first, then inspect, then repair. If water is getting in, we tarp or seal the opening. Once it is safe and dry, we inspect the full roof, photograph what we find, explain it in plain terms and give you a written estimate. You decide what happens next.
A typical job looks like this:
- Protect. Emergency roof tarping or temporary roof sealing when the roof is open or leaking.
- Inspect. Every slope, the flashing, ridge, gutters and, where we can reach it, the attic.
- Explain. Photos of the damage, shown to you, with a written estimate.
- Repair. The work you approved, done to match the rest of the roof as closely as possible.
- Clean up. Old shingles, nails and debris picked up from the yard and drive before we leave.
Why do we recommend the smallest repair that works?
Because plenty of storm damage does not need more than a focused repair. If a few shingles blew off or one flashing joint failed, fixing that spot correctly is what the house needs. Recommending more than that would cost you money without making the roof any drier. We size the repair to the actual problem.
Sometimes a repair is not enough. A roof can be worn out across every slope, or the decking underneath can be soft from long-term leaking. When that is the case, we tell you honestly, show you why, and talk through your options, including replacing the roof. We would rather give you an honest answer than a bigger invoice.
What can you expect when we come out?
Expect a straight answer. Inspections and estimates are free, and there is no pressure to sign anything on the spot. We look at the whole roof, show you photos of what we found, and put our recommendation in writing so you can read it again after we leave or compare it with another opinion.
If the damage came from a storm and you plan to file a claim, we document it in a way your insurer can follow and give you a written repair estimate. You stay in charge of the claim. Our insurance claims page lays out exactly where our role starts and stops.
The work we do
Our work falls into seven services: emergency roof repair, storm damage repair, hail damage repair, roof leak inspection, emergency tarping, temporary sealing and roof replacement. The services overview explains each one.

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of homes do you work on?
All kinds of houses across Lapeer County: older village homes with chimneys and dormers, farmhouses, mid-century ranches, and newer homes on country lots or in small subdivisions. Most have asphalt shingle roofs. Each style tends to fail in its own places, so we adjust where we look first, but we always check the whole roof.
Will you show me the damage before recommending work?
Yes. We photograph what we find on the roof and in the attic and go through those pictures with you, pointing out each problem and why it matters. You see the same thing we see. Our written estimate lists the repair we recommend, so you can compare it, ask questions, or take time to decide.
What happens if my roof needs more than a repair?
We tell you directly and show you why. Worn shingles on every slope, soft decking or damage spread too widely to patch sensibly are the usual signs. In those cases we can take on a full roof replacement, removing the old roofing and installing a new roof, and we give you a written estimate so you can decide without pressure.
Do you clean up after a roof repair?
Yes. Cleanup is part of the job, not an extra. We pick up torn shingles, old flashing, wrappers and stray nails from the yard, flower beds and driveway, and we look over gutters for debris we may have knocked loose. Loose roofing nails in a driveway are a flat tire waiting to happen, so we take it seriously.
Can I get a second opinion after your estimate?
Of course. Our written estimate lists what we found and the repair we recommend, with photos, so you can compare it with another roofer or take time to think it over. A storm repair is a real decision, and we would rather you feel sure about it than rushed into it by anyone, including us.
Do you work on commercial roofs?
Yes. Along with homes, we repair and replace roofs on commercial buildings across Lapeer County. The approach is the same: a free inspection, photos of what we find, a written estimate, and cleanup when the work is done. Tell us about the building and what the roof is doing, and we will set up a time to look at it.
