Older houses and old layers: what wears out roofs in Gobles
Of the 354 homes in the City of Gobles, 71% were built before 1980 and 37% in 1939 or earlier, according to the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 American Community Survey. The median year built is 1959 in the city and 1983 in Pine Grove Township around it.
Snow is the other strain. When it 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. In the cold, our crews hand-seal the shingles.
An older roof can hide worn decking, the plywood or boards under the shingles. Replacing it costs $80 to $150 a sheet on top of the roof price, and the price also depends on how many old layers we tear off.

Gobles roof permits, older roofs, and leak calls
Straight answers to what Gobles homeowners ask first. Anything else, ask on the phone.
A person answers 24/7(616) 360-2522Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Gobles, MI?
Ask before the work starts. Lifetime Construction Builders points Gobles homeowners to Michigan Code Inspections, which handles building permits for the City of Gobles: (269) 539-8747 or [email protected]. Its application is a fillable form you send by email.
How fast can you reach a storm-damaged roof in Gobles?
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.
Can the roof on an older Gobles house be repaired instead of replaced?
The free inspection from Lifetime Construction Builders tells you which. Most roof repairs cost $450 to $1,500 and take one visit of a few hours. A repair that needs new decking runs $1,500 to $2,800.
Can you inspect my roof when there's snow on it?
It depends on how much snow is up there. Lifetime Construction Builders walks the roof and the attic where we can reach them, so heavy snow cover can push an inspection back. A leak can't wait, so a crew comes the same day to tarp it.

More questions before you hire a roofer in Gobles
Cost, winter work, claims, and how to check a roofer before you sign.
A person answers 24/7(616) 360-2522How much does a new roof cost in Gobles?
Most homes cost $11,000 to $22,000 with Atlas architectural shingles, about $500 to $700 per 100 square feet of roof. Lifetime Construction Builders prices large or steep roofs at $22,000 to $32,000. The free inspection ends in a written estimate, and that price doesn't change.
Is $30,000 too much for a roof?
Not for every roof. At Lifetime Construction Builders, a large or steep shingle roof runs $22,000 to $32,000, and standing seam steel runs $24,000 to $42,000 on most homes. For a typical shingle home, expect $11,000 to $22,000.
Can you put a shingle roof on in a Michigan winter?
Yes. Below about 40°F, Lifetime Construction Builders hand-seals each asphalt shingle, because the factory seal strips need warmth to set. Most shingle homes still take one to two days.
Do you help with the insurance claim?
Yes, at no extra cost. Lifetime Construction Builders photographs storm damage during the free inspection, writes an estimate your adjuster can read, and meets the adjuster on the roof. When insurance covers the roof, you pay only your deductible.
How can I tell if a roofer is being straight with me?
Ask for a Michigan license number, proof of insurance and a price in writing. Lifetime Construction Builders holds Michigan license 252400088, carries $1 million in general liability and $2 million in workers' comp coverage, and gives a written estimate that doesn't change.
Do you offer financing or a military discount?
Yes. Lifetime Construction Builders takes 5% off for military customers and accepts credit cards, checks and cash. Financing available, ask Luis.
