What wears out roofs in Grand Junction: older homes and seasonal homes
Of the 1,276 homes in Columbia Township, which includes Grand Junction, 249 are seasonal homes and 637 were built before 1980. That's from the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 American Community Survey. In the 49056 ZIP code, 54.2% of homes predate 1980, and the median one was built in 1977.
When snow melts on a warm roof and refreezes at the cold eave, it forms an ice dam that pushes water back 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 cold weather, our crews hand-seal the shingles.

My cottage sits empty all winter. What should I do about the roof?
Get it inspected before you close it up, and again after a big storm. Lifetime Construction Builders inspects for free and takes dated photos. If a neighbor spots damage while you're away, a real person answers (616) 360-2522 24/7.
How many layers of shingles can a roof have in Michigan?
A new roof can't go over two or more existing layers; Michigan Residential Code R908.3.1.1 doesn't allow it. Lifetime Construction Builders counts the layers at the free inspection, and the tear-off is part of the written price.
How fast can you tarp a storm-damaged roof in Grand Junction?
The same day, within a few hours. Lifetime Construction Builders' crew usually spends 1 to 3 hours securing the tarp. Most emergency tarps cost $350 to $950, and a whole slope $1,200 to $2,500. Snow and ice on the roof can raise the price.

What homeowners say about our crews
Homeowners around our Pullman office rate us 4.9 out of 5 on Google.
“We had Lifetime Construction Builders replace our entire roof last month after the winter storm damage, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial inspection to the final cleanup, everything was handled professionally. The crew showed up on time every day, protected our landscaping with tarps, and finished the job in just two days. The new architectural shingles look amazing and we've already had neighbors asking for their contact info. Definitely recommend them for anyone in the Pullman area needing roofing work!”
“This was our first experience purchasing a new roof, and we are so happy with the experience. Everyone was so pleasant to collaborate with. They completed the installation in a single day and took care of all tidying. For us, the price was reasonable. I am content with the performance. I strongly recommend them!”
“Great customer service and competitive pricing. Look to them to do your roof. Very professional and on time.”

More questions before you hire a roofer in Grand Junction
Cost, an aging roof, winter work, claims, and payment.
A person answers 24/7(616) 360-2522How much does a new roof cost in Grand Junction?
Most homes cost $11,000 to $22,000 with Atlas architectural shingles. Lifetime Construction Builders prices large or steep roofs at $22,000 to $32,000, and replacement decking at $80 to $150 a sheet. The free inspection ends in a written estimate, and that price doesn't change.
Is $30,000 too much for a roof?
It depends on the roof and the material. Lifetime Construction Builders prices most shingle homes at $11,000 to $22,000, and large or steep ones at $22,000 to $32,000. Standing seam steel runs $24,000 to $42,000 on most homes, and stone-coated steel $25,000 to $42,000.
Should a 20-year-old roof be replaced?
Not always; the free inspection from Lifetime Construction Builders tells you whether a repair will do. 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 put a shingle roof on in winter?
Yes. Below about 40°F, Lifetime Construction Builders hand-seals the asphalt shingles. Heavy snow cover can push back an inspection, because the crew needs to see the shingles to judge them.
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 work, you pay only your deductible.
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.
