Old houses and aging roofs: what wears out roofs in Holland
63.1% of Holland's 13,998 homes were built before 1980, and 3,292 of them went up in 1939 or earlier, according to the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 American Community Survey. The median year built is 1957 on the Ottawa County side of 32nd Street and 1985 on the Allegan County side.
The City of Holland's own design guidelines name where older roofs leak:
“cracks in the chimney masonry, loose flashing around chimneys and ridges, loose or missing roof shingles, cracks in roof membranes caused by settling rafters, and water backup from plugged gutters.”
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, and our crews hand-seal shingles in the cold. The state code sets Holland's ground snow load at 50 pounds per square foot on both sides of the county line.

Holland roof permits, historic districts, and ice dams
Straight answers to what Holland 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 Holland, MI?
Yes, inside the City of Holland. The city requires a permit for a new roof or a re-roof, but not for a repair to less than 25% of the roof. Lifetime Construction Builders points Holland homeowners to Community & Neighborhood Services, (616) 355-1330, which issues the permit.
What if my house is in one of Holland's historic districts?
You need a Certificate of Appropriateness before the building permit. The City of Holland charges $25 for it, and it is filed at least 10 business days before the Historic District Commission meets. Ask Lifetime Construction Builders for the free written estimate first, so you know which shingle you are applying for.
Why do Holland roofs get ice dams?
Because Holland freezes and thaws through the winter. Snow melts on a warm roof and refreezes at the cold eave, so Lifetime Construction Builders lays ice-and-water shield 24 inches inside the wall line, per Michigan code R905.2.7.1.
How fast can you reach a storm-damaged roof in Holland?
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.

What homeowners say about our crews
Rated by Pullman-area homeowners on Google. A fair price, crews that show up when they say, and a contact who answers come up again and again.

“The whole process beginning to end was SO quick and easy. Luis (regional manager) was with us every step of the way, answered any questions we had, and took care of the whole process. We truly did not have to worry about a thing.”
“Lifetime Construction Builders has completed three distinct roofing projects for me, all of the highest quality. The team is excellent at their tasks, always on time, communicative, and responsive to phone calls while solving problems. I would strongly recommend them.”

More questions before you hire a roofer in Holland
Cost, winter work, claims, and how to tell a roofer you can trust.
A person answers 24/7(616) 360-2522How much does a new roof cost in Holland?
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.
Can a 20-year-old roof be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Often it can be repaired, and 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 put a shingle roof on in a Holland winter?
Yes. Below about 40°F, Lifetime Construction Builders hand-seals each asphalt shingle, because the factory seal strips need warmth to set. Heavy snow cover can push back an inspection, since we need 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 and writes an estimate your adjuster can use. When insurance covers the roof, you pay only your deductible.
How do I choose a roofer in Holland?
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. Luis, the regional manager, stays your contact through the cleanup.
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.
