Old houses and old layers: what wears out roofs in Bloomingdale
The Census Bureau's 2020–2024 American Community Survey dates nine in ten of the village's homes to before 1980, and about half to before 1940. Across Bloomingdale Township, 48.3% of homes went up before 1980.
An older roof can hide a second or third layer of shingles. Michigan Residential Code R908.3.1.1 doesn't allow a new roof over two or more existing layers, so those roofs come off down to the decking. Where the old boards are soft, replacement decking costs $80 to $150 a sheet.
When snow melts on a warm roof and refreezes at the cold eave, an ice dam can back water up under the shingles. On every new roof, Lifetime Construction Builders runs ice-and-water shield from the eave to 24 inches inside the exterior wall line, as Michigan Residential Code R905.2.7.1 requires. Our crews hand-seal shingles in cold weather.
Bloomingdale Township also counts 267 seasonal homes, 17% of its housing. A leak in a seasonal home can go unnoticed until the owners come back, so call for a free inspection before you close the house for the winter.

Can my old roof be repaired, or does it need replacing?

Can you put on a shingle roof in a Bloomingdale winter?

Yes, at no extra cost. 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.
