Old houses and old layers: what wears out roofs in Allegan
The median house in the City of Allegan was built in 1953, according to the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 American Community Survey. Two in three of the city's homes went up before 1980, and 42% before 1940. In Allegan Township, the median house is newer, built in 1979.
On a house that age, two things set the price of a new roof: how many layers of old shingles come off, and whether the decking under them, the boards the shingles are nailed to, needs replacing. Lifetime Construction Builders checks both at the free inspection.
Every new roof we install gets ice-and-water shield from the eave to 24 inches inside the exterior wall line, as Michigan Residential Code R905.2.7.1 requires.

Allegan permits, historic districts, and winter roofing
Short answers for Allegan homeowners. Anything else, ask on the phone.
A person answers 24/7(616) 360-2522Do I need a permit to reroof my house in Allegan?
Check with the city before the work starts. City Hall answers at (269) 673-5511, and Professional Code Inspections of Michigan handles the city's building inspections. Lifetime Construction Builders gives you a free written estimate first, so you can tell the city exactly what the job is.
My house is in one of Allegan's historic districts. Do I need approval for a new roof?
Not from a historic commission. The City of Allegan says it has no local rules for historic properties beyond normal zoning and building code. On a new roof, Lifetime Construction Builders lays ice-and-water shield at every eave to Michigan code.
A tree came down on my roof in Allegan. How fast can you get here?
The same day, within a few hours. A real person answers the Lifetime Construction Builders line, (616) 360-2522, 24/7, and the crew tarps the damage to keep water out until the repair. Most emergency tarps cost $350 to $950, and we photograph the damage for your insurance claim.
Can you put a new roof on in an Allegan winter?
Yes. Below about 40°F, Lifetime Construction Builders hand-seals the asphalt shingles. Snow cover can push back an inspection, because the crew has to see the roof to judge it.

Cost, repairs, claims and warranty questions
What a new roof costs, when a repair will do, and what happens after the crew leaves.
A person answers 24/7(616) 360-2522How much does a new roof cost on an older Allegan house?
Most homes cost $11,000 to $22,000 with Atlas architectural shingles, and large or steep roofs $22,000 to $32,000. Lifetime Construction Builders prices replacement decking on top of that, at $80 to $150 a sheet. The free inspection ends with a written estimate, and that price doesn't change.
Should a 20-year-old roof be repaired or replaced?
It depends on what the free inspection finds. Lifetime Construction Builders fixes most roofs for $450 to $1,500 in one visit of a few hours, and a repair with new decking runs $1,500 to $2,800. The inspection ends with a written estimate whenever work is needed.
Do you help with the insurance claim after a storm?
Yes, at no charge. Lifetime Construction Builders takes dated photos at the free inspection, writes an estimate your adjuster can read, and meets the adjuster on the roof. On insured work, you pay only your deductible.
What if something goes wrong after the roof is on?
Call (616) 360-2522, where a real person answers 24/7. Every roof Lifetime Construction Builders installs carries its lifetime transferable warranty on the work, and the warranty passes to the next owner if you sell.
How do I check a roofer before I hire one?
Ask for a Michigan license number, proof of insurance and a written price. Lifetime Construction Builders holds Michigan license 252400088, carries $1 million in general liability and $2 million in workers' comp, and is a BBB Accredited Business.
Do you offer financing or a military discount?
Yes. Lifetime Construction Builders takes 5% off for military customers and accepts credit card, check or cash. Financing available, ask Luis.
