Most roof repairs cost $450 to $1,500 and take one visit of a few hours. The inspection and written estimate are free. Daniel Retana's family-owned company has been in business since 2009. - Michigan license 252400088 - Insured: $1M liability, $2M workers' comp - BBB Accredited - Atlas Preferred Contractor ### Where roofs leak, and the signs to look for Most roof leaks start where something passes through the shingles or where two surfaces meet: pipe boots, chimneys, skylights, wall flashing, and valleys. A small repair at one of those spots starts around $350. #### The parts of a roof we repair - Shingles Missing, lifted, or torn asphalt shingles - Pipe boots The rubber collars around plumbing vent pipes - Chimney flashing The metal where a chimney meets the shingles - Valleys The channel where two roof slopes meet - Wall and skylight flashing Where the roof runs into a wall or a skylight - Roof decking The structural wood under the shingles, replaced in a larger repair where water damage has softened it - Ice dam damage Winter leaks along the eaves #### Signs on the roof - Missing or lifted shingles - Granules collecting in the gutters - Cracked pipe boots - Soft spots in the roof deck #### Signs inside the house - Stains on the ceiling - Drips or wet spots around the chimney or vents #### Signs of an ice dam - Thick icicles along the gutters and eaves, which the state's MIREADY guide says can mean an ice dam - Stains on ceilings and walls along the exterior walls Sealant smeared over a failed pipe boot or flashing is a stopgap; even Flex Seal's own blog calls it "not a permanent fix." Our small-repair price covers replacing a few shingles, a pipe boot, or a piece of flashing. Michigan's residential code doesn't allow rusted or damaged flashing to go back on the roof. ### Roof repair cost and timing: quick answers What homeowners ask us before they book a repair. Most roof repairs with Lifetime Construction Builders cost $450 to $1,500. A small fix, such as a few shingles, a pipe boot, or flashing, starts around $350. A larger section with new decking runs $1,500 to $2,800. The inspection and written estimate are free. Most repairs take one visit of a few hours. If water is coming in, call Lifetime Construction Builders at (616) 360-2522. A real person answers 24/7, and a crew comes out the same day, within a few hours. Repair it when the damage sits in one area and the roof has life left. Replace it when the damage is widespread or the roof is near the end of its life; a common rule of thumb is about 30 to 40% of the roof damaged. Lifetime Construction Builders' free inspection shows which applies. No. Lifetime Construction Builders puts the repair price in a written estimate after the free inspection, and that price doesn't change. Financing available, ask Luis. Military customers get 5% off. Open 24/7, year-round, for leaks and repairs (616) 360-2522 ### What customers say about our roofing company on Google The complaint that turns up most in West Michigan's worst roofing reviews is a roofer who stops returning calls once something goes wrong. Here's what our own customers wrote about the call, the crew, and the repair. We're rated 4.9 out of 5 on Google. ### How a roof repair works, from the call to the nail sweep Every repair runs the same six steps, with Luis, our regional manager, as your contact the whole way through. - 1 Call, and a real person answers Call (616) 360-2522 at any hour; the line is answered 24/7. If water is coming in, a crew comes out the same day, within a few hours.

The inspection costs nothing. See what a roof inspection covers. Flashing work at a brick chimney, after dark - 3 A written price that doesn't change You get a written estimate for the repair, and that price holds. When a storm caused the damage, we help with your insurance claim at no extra cost. How our insurance claim help works. - 4 A roofer makes the repair, usually in one visit Most repairs take a few hours. On a larger section, the crew replaces soft decking before the shingles go back on. In cold Michigan weather, new shingles may need to be hand-sealed. Metal valley flashing going down over bare decking - 5 Cleanup and a nail sweep Before the crew leaves, they clean up the old roofing materials and sweep the yard for nails. - 6 A lifetime warranty on the work The lifetime transferable warranty we give on every installation covers the repair work too, and new materials also carry the maker's product warranty. If something isn't right later, call Luis or the 24/7 line. ### Roof repair cost, and when a replacement makes more sense Your price comes in a written estimate after the free inspection, and it doesn't change once you have it. When damage covers much of the roof, or the roof is near the end of its lifespan, a roof replacement with Atlas architectural shingles runs $11,000 to $22,000 on most homes. The inspection shows whether a repair to your existing roof or a new roof makes more sense. #### Roof repair prices and timing - Small fix: a few shingles, a pipe boot, or flashing From about $350 One visit - Most roof repairs $450–$1,500 One visit of a few hours - Larger section with decking $1,500–$2,800 New decking under the damaged section - Storm damage on an insured claim Your deductible Claim help at no extra cost #### What moves the price - Roof type and pitch - Flashing or valley work - The condition of the decking Free inspection and written estimate. Financing available, ask Luis. 5% military discount. We take credit card, check, or cash. ### Asphalt shingle, metal roofing, and flat roof repair The kind of roof you have changes the repair and its price. #### Asphalt shingle roofs We're an Atlas Preferred Contractor and an Atlas Pinnacle Pristine Authorized Installer, and we replace torn, lifted, and blown-off shingles on asphalt roofs. We match the shingles, then nail and seal each one to the maker's pattern. #### Metal roofs We repair exposed-fastener and standing seam steel metal roofing. Most metal repairs cost $500 to $2,500, and a single leak or flashing $450 to $1,100. Re-screwing a whole exposed-fastener roof is priced by the roof. #### Flat commercial roofs TPO, EPDM, and PVC membranes on low-slope roofs. A service call with a patch or seam repair runs $450 to $1,200, and larger membrane sections $1,500 to $5,000. Ponding water, drainage, and snow load damage change the price. ### More roof repair questions from Michigan homeowners Permits, Michigan code, winter leaks, insurance, and matching shingles. Anything else, ask on the phone. It depends on your township or city. Michigan's residential code calls for permits on roofing work, but Valley Township says replacing shingles only needs none, while Kalamazoo lists general maintenance and repair on its roofing permit form. Lifetime Construction Builders holds Michigan license 252400088. It's a Florida Building Code rule: repair more than 25% of a roof in 12 months and the whole roof has to meet code. The 2015 Michigan Residential Code, in force here, has no such rule. Lifetime Construction Builders prices your repair from what the free inspection finds. Two at most. Under the Michigan Residential Code (MRC 907.3), a roof that already has two or more layers, or one that's water-soaked or deteriorated, has to be torn off before new shingles go on. Lifetime Construction Builders checks the layers during the free inspection. Yes. Lifetime Construction Builders repairs winter leaks, ice dam damage included, and a crew comes out the same day when water is coming in. Below about 40°F, we hand-seal shingles with roofing cement, because their factory seal strips need warmth to set. Warm attic air, says MIREADY, the Michigan State Police preparedness guide. It melts roof snow that refreezes at the colder eaves, and the ponding water backs up under the shingles. MIREADY recommends at least R-30 attic insulation and airflow from the soffits out the roof vents. Lifetime Construction Builders repairs the leak. Not always exactly. Shingles on an older roof have weathered, and some colors are discontinued, so a patch can show. Ask Luis at Lifetime Construction Builders' free inspection how close a repair will look on your roof. For sudden storm damage, usually yes, minus your deductible, though your policy decides; insurance doesn't pay for wear and tear. Lifetime Construction Builders helps with storm damage claims at no extra cost, and on insured work you pay only your deductible. Ask for photos of each problem and a separate price for the repair, and check the contractor's license with LARA. Michigan requires a license for residential roofing jobs of $600 or more. Lifetime Construction Builders holds Michigan license 252400088. Not always. InterNACHI puts 3-tab asphalt shingles at about 20 years and architectural shingles at about 30, but weather, design, materials, and maintenance change that. Lifetime Construction Builders' free inspection shows whether your roof needs a repair or a replacement. ### Roof repair in Pullman, MI, and nearby towns from Holland to Kalamazoo Our office is at 605 56th Street in Pullman, MI.

That's why we start at the stain and follow the water back to the source of the leak. #### Where water gets into a roof - Chimneys Step and counter flashing, or a missing cricket, the small peaked ridge that sheds water around the back of a chimney - Valleys Where two roof slopes meet and carry the most water - Walls Step flashing where a roof meets a wall, and the kick-out flashing that turns water away from the siding - Pipe boots The rubber collars around plumbing vents; home inspector Reuben Saltzman puts their life in a cold climate at about 10 to 15 years - Vents Ridge vents, gooseneck vents, and skylight flashing - Roof shingles Missing shingles, exposed nail holes, and shingles that never sealed in cold weather - Eaves Ice dams, in winter Sources: Reuben Saltzman, Structure Tech, 2023; the ice-dam guide from Michigan State Police MIREADY. #### Leaks only in heavy rain - Usually a valley, an overflowing gutter, or flashing #### Leaks in wind-driven rain - Gaps at the flashing and around roof vents #### Leaks when snow melts - An ice dam at the eave; the MIREADY guide says thick icicles along the gutters or eaves can be the sign #### A stain with no storm damage on the roof - Usually flashing, and often a pipe boot, as one insurance adjuster put it InterNACHI's inspector training says decay fungi become active at about 20% moisture in wood. Long-term leaks leave dark stains on the roof decking, the plywood the shingles are nailed to. Ice dams are the winter leak. Michigan's MIREADY guide explains it: heat from the house melts roof snow, the water refreezes at the colder eave, and meltwater ponds and backs up under the shingles. Michigan code requires ice-and-water shield from the eave to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line (2015 Michigan Residential Code R905.2.7.1). ### Need roof leak repair?

Every new roof starts with a full tear-off and ends with haul-away and a nail sweep of your yard. Daniel Retana has run this family-owned roofing contractor since 2009, and a lifetime transferable warranty covers the workmanship on every roof installation. - Michigan license 252400088 - Insured: $1M liability, $2M workers' comp - BBB Accredited - Atlas Preferred Contractor ### When a roof in Michigan needs replacing A roof is ready for replacement when the shingles are worn across the whole roof, not in one spot. Weather wears a roof out, and here that includes lake-effect snow: NOAA's 1991–2020 normals give Bloomingdale 109 inches of snow a year, most of it from December through February. #### Recent winter storms around Pullman - Dec 4, 2024 Van Buren County High wind, with a 64 mph gust measured - Jan 12–17, 2024 Allegan County 1.5 to 2.5 feet of snow, and 1 to 2 feet in Van Buren County - Feb 22, 2023 Allegan County Ice storm, with up to 0.75 inch of freezing rain - Dec 22, 2022 Allegan County Blizzard, 1 to 2 feet of snow, with gusts over 50 mph in Van Buren County - Nov 17, 2022 Gobles 28 inches of lake-effect snow Source: NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database. #### Signs on the shingles - Shingles curling or cupping at the edges - Cracked, brittle shingles, or bald patches with the granules gone - Many missing shingles, or storm damage on several slopes #### Signs in the attic - Daylight through the roof boards - Roof leaks that stain the wood or soak the insulation - A roof deck that sags between the rafters #### Signs at the gutters and eaves - Shingle granules piling up in the gutters - Thick icicles along the eaves, which the state's MIREADY guide says can mean an ice dam Michigan's MIREADY guide explains it: warm air from the house melts roof snow, and the water refreezes at the colder eaves until it ponds and backs up under the shingles. That's why the 2015 Michigan Residential Code (R905.2.7.1) requires ice-and-water shield, a waterproof underlayment, from the eaves to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line. Every roof replacement we do includes it. ### Roof replacement in Michigan: the first four answers How long it takes, who pays, whether the old shingles come off, and what winter changes.

Often, when a covered storm damaged it, but your policy and your adjuster decide. Lifetime Construction Builders helps with the claim at no extra cost, and on insured work you pay only your deductible. On Michigan policies issued or renewed since July 1, 2025, insurers can't depreciate labor unless you bought an optional endorsement. Not on most worn roofs. Michigan's residential code bars a new layer over a roof that's water-soaked, deteriorated, or already two layers deep, and rusted flashing can't be reused. Every Lifetime Construction Builders replacement includes a full tear-off, so the decking is checked before new shingles go on. Yes. Lifetime Construction Builders installs new roofs in cold weather, and below about 40°F the crew hand-seals each shingle, because the factory sealant needs warmth to bond. The season is one of the things that can move the price.

Michigan's residential code requires a permit for roofing work, and each city or township sets its fee: the City of Kalamazoo charges $52 per structure, and Bangor Township $75 for a house re-roof. Kalamazoo's form asks for the contractor's license number; Lifetime Construction Builders' is 252400088. It depends on the roof. Lifetime Construction Builders replaces most homes with Atlas architectural shingles for $11,000 to $22,000, so $30,000 is high for a typical shingle roof. Large or steep roofs run $22,000 to $32,000, and standing seam steel $24,000 to $42,000. Ask for the license number and look it up with LARA, the state licensing department.

Most homes get their new roof in 1 to 2 days, and every installation carries our lifetime transferable warranty. The inspection and written estimate are free. - Michigan license 252400088 - Insured: $1M liability, $2M workers' comp - BBB Accredited - Atlas Pinnacle Pristine Authorized Installer ### When a shingle roof needs replacing An asphalt shingle roof's typical lifespan is about 20 to 25 years. A worn roof shows it on the shingles, in the gutters, and on the ceilings inside. #### A repair or a new roof Not every worn roof needs replacing. A few blown-off shingles is a repair, from about $350, and most asphalt shingle repairs cost $400 to $1,500. A new roof is the answer when the wear covers whole slopes or the roof is 20 years old or more. Decking that has gone soft under the shingles points the same way. The free inspection shows which one your roof needs. #### Signs on the shingles - Granules from the shingles piling up in the gutters or on the driveway - Shingle edges that curl or cup - Cracked shingles - A roof 20 years old or more #### Signs of an ice dam - Ice building up along the eaves after snow - Water stains on the ceiling near the outside walls after a thaw MSU Extension explains how they form: attic heat melts the snow on the roof, and the water refreezes at the cold eaves. Michigan code R905.2.7.1 requires ice-and-water shield from the eave to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line. Every roof we install on Michigan homes gets it. A new roof keeps that meltwater out, but it won't stop ice from forming. MSU names attic insulation and venting as what keeps the roof cold, so every new roof we install also gets a ridge vent. Atlas's warranty excludes damage caused by inadequate attic ventilation. ### Quick answers about a new shingle roof in Michigan What Michigan homeowners ask us first about a new asphalt shingle roof. Most homes take 1 to 2 days with Lifetime Construction Builders, from the tear-off to the nail sweep. Luis, our regional manager, is your contact from the free inspection until the job is done.

They are thicker and layered, where the older flat 3-tab kind is a single layer. Atlas rates them for impact by the UL 2218 test, which drops steel balls on the shingle. #### Atlas Pinnacle Pristine Pinnacle Pristine is Atlas's architectural shingle with HP42 Technology: a wide shingle, a nailing area Atlas calls the Sweet Spot, and a double FASTAC sealant line. Its granules carry 3M Scotchgard Protector to resist algae. #### Atlas Pinnacle Impact, for hail For durability against hail, Pinnacle Impact is rated UL 2218 Class 4, the top impact rating. A 2-inch steel ball dropped twice on the same spot from 20 feet doesn't crack it through. NOAA records 2-inch hail at Hopkins in April 2023 and in Kalamazoo in May 2024. #### Metal and stone-coated steel We also install steel roofing systems. Most exposed-fastener metal roofs cost $16,000 to $28,000, and most stone-coated steel roofs from DECRA, Tilcor, or Westlake cost $25,000 to $42,000. ### More questions about asphalt shingle roofs Warranties, insurance, and who to call once the roof is on. Anything else, ask on the phone. Two warranties. Lifetime Construction Builders gives a lifetime transferable warranty on every installation. Atlas adds its own lifetime limited product warranty for the original owner of a single-family home, with the first 10 years non-prorated. About 20 to 25 years is typical.

NOAA measured 72 mph gusts at Saugatuck and 79 mph at Holland in December 2021, and 74 mph at South Haven in December 2024. #### Wind and hail on record near Pullman - Dec 4, 2024 South Haven 74 mph gusts at the airport - May 7, 2024 Kalamazoo Hail up to 2 inches - Apr 4, 2023 Allegan County Hail up to 2 inches - Dec 16, 2021 Holland 79 mph gusts at the airport - Dec 11, 2021 Saugatuck 72 mph gusts - Aug 3, 2017 Pullman's township Hail of 1.75 inches - Apr 25, 2016 Fennville Hail of 1.75 inches Source: NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database. #### Signs of wind damage - Missing tabs or whole shingles after a windstorm - Lifted or unsealed tabs that no longer lie flat - Creased tabs, folded back by the wind #### Signs of worn shingles - Shingle granules in your rain gutters and at the downspouts - Brittle shingles that crack when they're lifted - Hail-damaged ridge caps #### Signs of a roof leak at flashing or a vent - Leaks beside a chimney, a wall, or a vent - A cracked or leaking pipe boot, the rubber collar around a plumbing vent #### Signs of an ice dam - A leak that shows up when the ice melts - Water damage or stains near the outside walls after a thaw On a residential roof, the code (section R905.2.8.3) calls for wall flashing at least 4 inches high and 4 inches wide, turning water onto the roof or into the gutter. ### Shingle repair: the first four answers What homeowners ask us first when they find shingles in the yard or a new stain on the ceiling. Yes, usually. Lifetime Construction Builders replaces a few blown-off shingles from about $350, in one visit. On old, brittle shingles, TAMKO warns that pulling one out can crack its neighbors, so the free inspection checks that first. Call Lifetime Construction Builders at (616) 360-2522; a real person answers 24/7. We match the shingle and seal and nail it to the maker's pattern, usually the same day. Below about 40°F, we hand-seal it, because the shingle can't seal itself in the cold. Most asphalt shingle repairs with Lifetime Construction Builders cost $400 to $1,500. The price depends on how many shingles, matching an older shingle, any flashing, and the cold. You get it in a written estimate after the free inspection, and it doesn't change. Usually not for shingles alone. Valley Township in Allegan County, for one, says replacing shingles only doesn't need a permit. A repair that replaces decking may need one, so check with your township. Lifetime Construction Builders holds Michigan license 252400088. Open 24/7 (616) 360-2522 ### What customers wrote about our local roofing company on Google West Michigan homeowners complain most about roofers who stop answering once a roof problem shows up. Our customers wrote about the opposite, and we're rated 4.9 out of 5 on Google. ### Our shingle roof repair process Luis, our regional manager, is your contact on every shingle repair, and he picks up when you call. - 1 You call, and a person answers Call (616) 360-2522 at any hour, including for an active leak. Tell us your town and what you can see from the ground, like shingles in the yard, a leaking roof, or a stain on a ceiling. - 2 A free inspection and a written price We look over the damaged shingles and any flashing beside them, then put the price in a written estimate. That price doesn't change once you have it. See what a roof inspection covers. - 3 Matched shingles, sealed and nailed We match the new shingles to your roof and seal and nail them to the maker's pattern. Most repairs take one visit, usually the same day. A roof leak with no clear cause goes to our leak detection and repair service, where roof leak repair starts by tracing the stain back to its source. - 4 Cleanup and a nail sweep Before the crew leaves, they clean up and run a nail sweep. ### What asphalt shingle roof repair costs Most shingle repairs cost $400 to $1,500, and a few blown-off shingles start at about $350. Our lifetime transferable warranty covers the repair, and the new shingles carry the maker's product warranty. #### What it costs and how long it takes - Inspection and written estimate Free Before any work starts - A few blown-off shingles From $350 One visit, usually the same day - Asphalt shingle repair $400–$1,500 One visit, usually the same day #### What moves the price - How many shingles need replacing - Matching an older shingle - Flashing at a chimney, wall, or vent - Cold weather, when we hand-seal each shingle Free inspection and written estimate. Financing available, ask Luis. 5% military discount. We take credit card, check, or cash. ### Matching new shingles and sealing them in the cold A repair holds only when the new shingle fits the rest of the roofing system and stays sealed down through a Michigan winter. #### Matching the shingles on your roof We replace shingles with ones of the same size system and, where we can, the same maker. A TAMKO technical notice spells out why. #### Hand-sealing below 40°F Atlas's cold-weather bulletin says shingles put down in fall or winter may never seal on their own. Below about 40°F, we hand-seal each one, and Atlas calls for at least three spots of ASTM D 4586 asphalt cement under a laminated shingle. #### Atlas shingles for a new roof When a repair can't restore your roof, we install or replace an asphalt shingle roof as an Atlas Preferred Contractor and an Atlas Pinnacle Pristine Authorized Installer. Pinnacle Pristine carries a Class 3 impact rating under UL 2218 and 3M Scotchgard algae protection. ### More roofing questions about shingle repair Repair or replace, hail, ice dams, and what happens if a repair leaks. Anything else, ask on the phone. It depends on the shingles' age and condition. InterNACHI puts 3-tab asphalt shingles at about 20 years and architectural shingles at about 30. Old, brittle shingles crack when they're worked on, and Lifetime Construction Builders' free inspection tells you in writing which job your roof needs. Sometimes, but TAMKO advises against replacing only the shingles with visible hail damage and recommends a full inspection. Hail of 1.75 inches fell at Fennville in 2016 and in Pullman's township in 2017. Lifetime Construction Builders inspects for free and helps with the insurance claim at no extra cost. An ice dam is the usual cause. MSU Extension explains that attic heat melts snow on the roof, the water refreezes at the cold eaves, and the meltwater backs up under the shingles. Lifetime Construction Builders repairs the shingles; MSU says attic insulation and venting keep the dam from forming. It's a Florida building code rule: no more than 25 percent of a roof repaired in 12 months unless the whole roof meets code. We know of no Michigan rule like it. Lifetime Construction Builders bases a repair or replacement on what the free inspection finds. Look up the license number with LARA, the state licensing department. Michigan requires a residential builder or maintenance-and-alteration license for home work of $600 or more, which covers most shingle repairs. Lifetime Construction Builders holds Michigan license 252400088. Call (616) 360-2522, where a real person answers 24/7, and Luis, our regional manager, follows it up. Lifetime Construction Builders backs every shingle repair with its lifetime transferable warranty, and the new shingles carry the maker's product warranty. ### Shingle roof repair services in Pullman, MI and nearby towns Our office is at 605 56th Street in Pullman.

Most homes run $16,000 to $28,000 for exposed-fastener steel and $24,000 to $42,000 for standing seam. The inspection and written estimate are free, and every installation carries its lifetime transferable warranty. - Michigan license 252400088 - Insured: $1M liability, $2M workers' comp - BBB Accredited - Lifetime transferable warranty ### What a metal roof has to handle in Michigan winters and storms The snow belt along Lake Michigan in southwest Michigan gets more than 100 inches of snow a year, and Bloomingdale averages 98 inches, according to Michigan State University. The National Weather Service in Grand Rapids says north winds bring the heaviest lake-effect snow to Allegan and Van Buren counties. #### Snow, wind, and hail on record where we work - Mar 10, 2026 Ottawa County Hail up to 2.75 inches - Dec 4, 2024 South Haven 74 mph gust at the airport - May 7, 2024 Kalamazoo Hail up to 2 inches - Jan 12–17, 2024 Allegan County 1.5 to 2.5 feet of snow - Apr 4, 2023 Allegan County Hail up to 2 inches - Dec 16, 2021 Holland 79 mph gust at the airport - Nov 11, 2019 Bangor 2 feet of lake-effect snow, and 22 inches at Grand Junction Source: NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database. #### Signs an old metal roof needs work - Rust through the panels or along the cut edges - Loose, backed-out, or missing screws, and cracked washers - Leaks where panels overlap, or around vents, pipes, and chimneys - Wavy flat panels (oil canning) or seams pulling apart #### Signs it's time to switch from shingles to metal - An aging shingle roof that's due for replacement - Repeated hail or wind claims on the same roof - Your insurer pressing you about the roof's age Snow guards hold that snow on the roof, so it melts or comes down a little at a time instead of in one slide. Ice dams form when attic heat melts the snow and the water refreezes at the eaves, the coldest part of the roof, MSU Extension explains. That's why ice-and-water shield goes along the eaves under the panels. MSU Extension adds that attic insulation and venting keep the roof cold enough to limit ice dams. ### Metal roofing: the first four answers What homeowners ask first when they call about a metal roof. With Lifetime Construction Builders, exposed-fastener steel runs $900 to $1,150 per 100 square feet, or $16,000 to $28,000 on most homes. Standing seam steel runs $1,300 to $1,650 per 100 square feet, or $24,000 to $42,000 on most homes. The Metal Roofing Alliance puts a metal roof at 40 to 60 years or more, two to three times an asphalt roof. Lifetime Construction Builders backs the installation with its lifetime transferable warranty, and the panel maker's finish warranty covers the paint. Not over a solid roof deck. With underlayment, an attic, and insulation below, metal is about as quiet as asphalt, around 50 decibels indoors, Metalcon reports. Lifetime Construction Builders lays approved underlayment under the panels. The loud reputation comes from barns, where panels sit on open wood strips. No. Lifetime Construction Builders puts the price in a written estimate after the free inspection, and that price doesn't change. Financing available, ask Luis. Military customers get 5% off. A real person answers 24/7 (616) 360-2522 ### What our customers wrote on Google A roofer who goes quiet after a problem is the complaint we read most in West Michigan roofing reviews. Luis, our regional manager, is your contact from the free inspection to the cleanup. We're rated 4.9 out of 5 on Google. ### Metal roof installation, from the first call to the nail sweep Every metal roof we install follows these six steps. - 1 Call, and a real person answers Call (616) 360-2522, day or night. Tell us your town, your roof, and whether you're leaning toward standing seam or exposed-fastener steel. - 2 A free inspection and a written estimate We look over the roof's pitch, its valleys and chimneys, and the old roofing that has to come off. Your written estimate spells out the specification (the panel type and gauge, and the finish) and the price. See what a roof inspection covers. - 3 Tear-off and underlayment The crew strips the old roof where the estimate calls for a tear-off. Approved underlayment goes over the roof deck, with ice-and-water shield along the eaves. - 4 Panels, trim, and flashing The crew sets the steel panels, then fits the trim and the flashing. Flashing seals each penetration, a place where a chimney, vent, or pipe comes through the roof. - 5 Snow guards where they're needed Guards go where sliding snow would do harm: above doors, walkways, gas meters, lower roofs, and gutters. On standing seam, clamp-on guards can grip the raised seams without a hole through the panel. - 6 Cleanup and a nail sweep Before the crew leaves, they haul the old roofing away, clean up, and sweep the yard for nails. ### Metal roof replacement cost in Michigan Standing seam costs more than exposed-fastener steel. Its fasteners hide under the raised seams, and its panels usually run a heavier gauge. We price every metal roof in Michigan by the square foot of roof, not of the house. A 2,000 square foot home has 2,000 square feet of floor, and its roof area is measured separately. #### What a metal roof costs and how long it takes - Exposed-fastener steel $16,000–$28,000 Most homes; $900 to $1,150 per 100 sq ft; 3 to 5 days - Standing seam steel $24,000–$42,000 Most homes; $1,300 to $1,650 per 100 sq ft; 3 to 7 days - Inspection and written estimate Free Before any work starts #### What moves the price - Panel type and gauge - The finish - Roof pitch and how cut-up the roof is - Tear-off of the old roof Included: panels, trim, flashing, approved underlayment, ice-and-water shield at the eaves, snow guards where needed, and cleanup. Financing available, ask Luis. 5% military discount. We take credit card, check, or cash. ### Standing seam, exposed-fastener steel, or Atlas asphalt shingles These are the two metal roofs we install, next to the Atlas shingle roof most homeowners compare them with on cost and durability. #### Standing seam steel A standing seam metal roof has panels that lock together at raised seams, with the clips and fasteners hidden underneath. It's the metal roof that looks at home on a house rather than a barn, which is why homeowners pick it for curb appeal. #### Exposed-fastener steel The ribbed panel profile, often called R-panel, is screwed through the face with rubber-washered screws, and 26 gauge is the common choice on houses. Every screw is a hole through the roof, so the routine maintenance is a check or re-screw every 10 to 15 years. #### Atlas architectural shingles Shingles cost less up front: most homes run $11,000 to $22,000 with Atlas architectural shingles. We're an Atlas Preferred Contractor and an Atlas Pinnacle Pristine Authorized Installer. ### More metal roofing questions Hail, lightning, leaks, and licensing: what homeowners ask before they choose. Anything else, ask on the phone. The higher first cost. Metal can also take cosmetic hail dents, exposed screws age, and flat panels can show oil canning, a waviness in the metal. Lifetime Construction Builders installs both standing seam, which hides its fasteners, and exposed-fastener steel. It can. A Class 4 impact rating (UL 2218 or FM 4473) means a panel didn't crack or rupture in testing, not that it won't dent. Some insurers discount standing seam and others exclude cosmetic damage on metal, so ask yours. Lifetime Construction Builders installs standing seam and exposed-fastener steel, so you can ask your insurer about either. No. Lightning strikes the highest point, not metal, and a metal roof won't burn, Metalcon notes.

Sheffield Metals names faulty flashing, poor seaming, and failed sealant as other common causes. #### Wind, hail, and snow on record near Pullman - Dec 4, 2024 South Haven 74 mph gust at the airport - May 7, 2024 Kalamazoo Hail 2 inches across - Jan 12–17, 2024 Allegan County 1.5 to 2.5 feet of heavy snow - Apr 4, 2023 Allegan County Hail up to 2 inches - Dec 16, 2021 Holland 79 mph gust at the airport - Aug 11, 2021 Allegan County EF0 tornado, with metal roofing in the debris - Nov 11, 2019 Bangor 2 feet of lake-effect snow Source: NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database, which logs severe weather conditions by county. #### Signs at the screws - Screws backed out, crooked, or rusted - Rubber washers cracked, flattened, or shrunken #### Signs at the seams, ridge, and trim - Ridge cap, trim, or flashing lifted or loose - Standing seams pulled open or bent - Cracked pipe boots or failed closure strips #### Signs of rust and hail - Rust at screw heads, laps, or cut edges - Scratches or gouges down to bare metal - Hail dents with cracked coating #### Signs inside the house - Drips or new ceiling stains after heavy rain - A stain downhill or off to one side of the leak: water runs along the ribs and purlins (the framing under the panels) Lifted ridge cap and trim are the most common wind repairs on a metal roof. Rust can start wherever the coating is cracked or scratched, at cut edges, and where the steel touches copper, brick, treated lumber, or concrete. ### Metal roof repair: four answers for homeowners What people ask us first about a leaking metal roof. Most metal roofs can be repaired. Lifetime Construction Builders repairs the fasteners, seams, single panels, and flashing on metal roofs. The free inspection shows whether your roof needs a repair or a new roof. No. Sealant smeared over a screw head doesn't fix a failed fastener, and exposed sealant breaks down in sunlight. Lifetime Construction Builders repairs the fastener itself and applies sealant to the panel maker's spec. No. Lifetime Construction Builders puts the price in a written estimate after the free inspection, and that price doesn't change once you have it.

We take credit card, check, or cash. ### Residential metal roofing: standing seam and exposed-fastener roofs leak in different places As a metal roofing contractor, Lifetime Construction Builders installs both standing seam roofing and exposed-fastener steel roofing, and each one fails in its own spots. #### Standing seam metal roofs A standing seam metal roof locks its panels together at raised seams and holds them down with hidden clips, so few screws go through it. Its leaks start at open or bent seams, at the flashing, and at pipe boots. Snap-lock, mechanical-seam, and nail-strip panels each come apart and go back together differently. #### Exposed-fastener metal roofs These panels fasten with screws through the face of the steel, each one sealed by an EPDM or neoprene washer. Screws set wrong in the installation process leak: one driven too tight or too loose, or one in a stripped hole. #### Hail dents on metal roofs UL 2218, the hail test behind a Class 4 rating, drops a 2-inch steel ball from 20 feet and checks for cracks and openings, not dents. A Class 4 metal panel can still dent. ### More questions on metal roof repair and metal roof replacement Screws, hail, snow, and checking out a roofer: what homeowners ask once the leak is found. Anything else, ask on the phone. Loose fasteners. The Metal Construction Association says exposed screws don't allow for the panels' movement as they heat and cool, and any screw that's loose, crooked, or badly sealed will eventually leak. Lifetime Construction Builders checks the screws and washers at every free inspection. There's no fixed schedule; it depends on their condition. Sheffield Metals advises checking the fasteners every year, and exposed-fastener roofs often need a re-screw at 10 to 15 years. Lifetime Construction Builders prices a whole-roof re-screw by the roof after a free inspection. Not always. Sheffield Metals says metal roofs can last 40 years or more, so at 20 years the panels may have decades left while the washers and pipe boots wear out. Lifetime Construction Builders' free inspection shows whether a repair or a re-screw will do. Sometimes. Some policies exclude cosmetic hail damage on metal roofs, and dents alone usually count as cosmetic. Punctures, coating cracked to bare metal, bent seams, and loosened fasteners count as functional damage. Lifetime Construction Builders helps with the claim at no extra cost. Yes, where sliding snow can hit a door, a walkway, a gas meter, a lower roof, or a gutter. A metal roof sheds snow so well that a whole slope can let go at once. Lifetime Construction Builders installs snow guards where they're needed. Ask for the Michigan license number and check it with LARA, which requires a license for residential work of $600 or more.

Most homes cost $25,000 to $42,000 with tear-off, and the job takes about 3 to 5 days. Every installation carries our lifetime transferable warranty, on top of the maker's product warranty. - Michigan license 252400088 - Insured: $1M liability, $2M workers' comp - BBB Accredited - Roofing since 2009 ### How stone-coated steel holds up to southwest Michigan weather From 2016 through 2026, NOAA logged 168 thunderstorm wind reports, 48 hail reports, and 54 winter storms in Allegan, Van Buren, Kalamazoo, and Ottawa counties. Every southwest Michigan metal roof has to take all three, stone-coated steel included. #### Hail, wind, and snow on record in southwest Michigan - Mar 10, 2026 Ottawa County Hail up to 2.75 inches - May 15, 2025 Lake Macatawa Thunderstorm winds over 90 mph - Dec 4, 2024 South Haven 74 mph gust at the airport - May 7, 2024 Kalamazoo 2-inch hail - Jan 12–17, 2024 Allegan County 1.5 to 2.5 feet of snow - Apr 4, 2023 Allegan County Hail up to 2 inches - Dec 16, 2021 Holland 79 mph gust at the airport - Aug 3, 2017 Lee Township 1.75-inch hail in Pullman's township Source: NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database. #### Wind: rated to 120 mph - DECRA, Tilcor, and Westlake warrant their panels against blow-off in winds up to 120 mph - Winds over 90 mph at Lake Macatawa in May 2025 were still under that limit #### Hail: Class 4, but not dent-proof - DECRA rates its panels UL 2218 Class 4, the top impact class - A Class 4 rating doesn't promise a panel won't dent - DECRA and Tilcor warranties cover hail damage only when a hailstone up to 2.5 inches punches through the panel - Ask your insurer whether your policy covers cosmetic dents on a metal roof MSU Extension explains that ice dams form when attic heat melts the snow on a roof and the water refreezes at the cold eaves. Michigan's residential building code, R905.2.7.1, calls for ice-and-water shield from the eave to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line. Our stone-coated steel price includes that leak protection. ### Stone-coated steel roofing: the first four answers What homeowners ask us first about a stone-coated steel roof. About 3 to 5 days on most homes with Lifetime Construction Builders, from tear-off to cleanup. Steep roofs with dormers, valleys, skylights, and chimneys take longer; DECRA's own installation guide puts that kind of roof at 3 to 4 squares a day. No. DECRA, Tilcor, and Westlake set a minimum slope of 3 in 12, meaning 3 inches of rise for every 12 inches across. Some panel lines need 4 in 12. Low-slope porch roofs and flat sections need a different roof. Lifetime Construction Builders measures each slope during the free inspection. Price comes first: it costs more than Atlas architectural shingles or exposed-fastener steel from Lifetime Construction Builders. Careless steps can dent a panel, especially at the eaves during gutter cleaning. Some stone granules wash into the gutters, and a repair can mean lifting several interlocked panels. No maker publishes a service life. DECRA and Tilcor give the original owner a lifetime limited warranty with 30 years on the finish, and Westlake gives 50 years, limited and transferable. Lifetime Construction Builders adds its own lifetime transferable warranty on the installation.

A stone-coated steel roof along its ridge - 6 Cleanup, and your warranty starts Before the crew leaves, they haul the old roofing away, clean up, and sweep the yard for nails. Your lifetime transferable warranty covers the installation, and the panels carry the maker's published product warranty. ### Stone-coated steel roof cost and timeline A stone-coated steel roof from Lifetime Construction Builders costs $1,250 to $1,600 per 100 square feet, installed with tear-off. Most homes come to $25,000 to $42,000. That price covers the tear-off, underlayment, ice-and-water shield at the eaves, the steel panels, trim and flashing, and cleanup.

We take credit card, check, or cash. ### Stone-coated steel compared with shingles and other metal roofing materials Stone-coated steel looks like tile, shake, or shingle and is made of steel underneath. Here's how it compares with Atlas shingles and the other metal products we install. #### Stone-coated steel Each panel is a layered system: steel with an aluminum-zinc (Galvalume) coating, an acrylic base coat, ceramic-coated stone granules, and a clear acrylic overglaze. The color comes from the stone granules, not a paint film like polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). #### Atlas architectural shingles $500 to $700 per 100 square feet, or $11,000 to $22,000 on most homes. We're an Atlas Preferred Contractor and an Atlas Pinnacle Pristine Authorized Installer. #### Standing seam and exposed-fastener steel Standing seam runs $1,300 to $1,650 per 100 square feet, $24,000 to $42,000 on most homes. Exposed-fastener steel, where the screws show, runs $900 to $1,150, or $16,000 to $28,000. ### More stone-coated steel roofing questions Brands, noise, upkeep, repairs, and who's doing the work. Anything else, ask on the phone. No independent source ranks one brand best. Lifetime Construction Builders installs DECRA, Tilcor, and Westlake panels, and they differ in profiles and warranty terms. Westlake adds an FM 4475 "Very Severe Hail" rating, and Tilcor's CF panels hide their screws. Rain noise depends on the whole roof, not the panels alone. DECRA credits the stone coating with damping the sound, and the deck, underlayment, and attic insulation underneath matter too. Every Lifetime Construction Builders installation includes new underlayment. Yes, with care. DECRA's homeowner manual says its panels are made to be walked on in soft-soled shoes. Step in the low pans of tile profiles and stay off the side laps. If a panel does get dented, call Lifetime Construction Builders at (616) 360-2522. Usually. DECRA's guidance is a touch-up kit when the damage on a panel is under 10 inches across, and a new panel above that. Because the panels interlock, a new one can mean lifting its neighbors. Lifetime Construction Builders inspects the damage for free. About 1.3 to 1.5 pounds per square foot installed, by the makers' figures. DECRA panels fastened to the deck weigh 1.3, and DECRA on wood battens and Westlake weigh about 1.5. Lifetime Construction Builders installs all three brands.

A new membrane over your existing insulation costs $6.00 to $8.50 per square foot, and a full tear-off with R-30 insulation $14.50 to $17.00.

Wind, hail, and heavy snow all reach commercial roofs in this part of Michigan. #### Wind, hail, and snow near Pullman since 2019 - May 15, 2025 Kalamazoo Thunderstorm winds peeled roof paneling off an 8-story building downtown - Dec 4, 2024 South Haven 74 mph gust at the airport - May 7, 2024 Portage and Kalamazoo EF2 tornado; an industrial warehouse roof collapsed - May 7, 2024 Kalamazoo Hail up to 2 inches - Jan 12–17, 2024 Allegan County 1.5 to 2.5 feet of snow - Dec 16, 2021 Holland 79 mph gust at the airport - Nov 11, 2019 Bangor 2 feet of lake-effect snow Source: NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database. #### Water that won't drain - Water still standing 48 hours after rain, which the NRCA calls ponding - Drains and scuppers blocked with ice, which add to the ponding #### Seams, flashing, and blisters - Open seams that let wind get under the membrane - Flashing pulling away at walls, drains, and curbs - Blisters from moisture trapped under the membrane #### Signs inside the building - Ceiling stains or mold, a sign the insulation above is likely wet - Leaks that come back after repairs The 2021 International Building Code, the base of the Michigan Building Code since April 9, 2025, doesn't allow a recover over a water-soaked roof. It also rules one out over two or more existing roofs (section 1511.3.1). Industry guides call for a replacement once more than about 25% of the insulation is wet. ### Commercial roofing: the first four answers Timing, membranes, budget, and what happens if the new roof leaks. About one week to a month, depending on the size of the roof. TPO usually goes on fastest of the three membranes Lifetime Construction Builders installs. Roofers are split, and the common advice for either is 60 mil or thicker rather than 45 mil. TPO's seams are welded with heat, and EPDM's are taped or glued. Lifetime Construction Builders installs both for $6.00 to $8.00 per square foot over existing insulation. It depends on the roof's size. At Lifetime Construction Builders' $14.50 to $17.00 per square foot for a full tear-off with R-30 insulation, $30,000 covers about 1,750 to 2,050 square feet. Over existing insulation, it covers about 3,500 to 5,000 square feet. Call (616) 360-2522; a real person answers 24/7. Lifetime Construction Builders backs every installation with its lifetime transferable warranty, and the membrane also carries its maker's published warranty.

Our customers wrote about professional roofing crews who showed up on time and answered the phone. We're rated 4.9 out of 5 on Google. ### How a commercial roof replacement runs Every commercial roof runs the same six steps. Luis, our regional manager, is your contact for the roofing work from the first inspection to the last day on the roof, and he picks up your calls. - 1 You call, and a real person answers Call (616) 360-2522 at any hour. If water is coming into the building now, a crew comes out the same day, within a few hours. - 2 A free roof inspection The inspection shows whether a new membrane can go over your existing insulation or the roof needs a full tear-off. It costs nothing. See what a roof inspection covers. - 3 A written price that doesn't change Your written estimate covers the tear-off where it's needed, the insulation, the roof materials (the TPO, EPDM, or PVC membrane, the flashing, and the edge metal), and the cleanup. Once you have that price, it holds. - 4 Tear-off and insulation to Michigan code Where the old roof has to come off, the crew tears it off to the deck. On a complete roof replacement, R-30 insulation goes above the deck, as Michigan's energy code requires here. - 5 The membrane, flashing, and edge metal The crew lays the membrane you chose, flashes it at the walls, curbs, and drains, and finishes the roof edge with metal. - 6 Cleanup before the crew leaves The old roofing gets hauled away, and the crew cleans up the site and sweeps for nails. ### Commercial roof cost and timeline A full tear-off costs about twice as much as a recover because of the insulation. Michigan's 2021 energy code, in effect since April 22, 2025, requires R-30 insulation above the deck on a roof replacement here. A recover, a new membrane laid over the existing insulation, is exempt from that rule. Allegan, Van Buren, and Kalamazoo counties sit in climate zone 5, where the 2021 IECC sets R-30 (Table C402.1.3). #### What it costs and how long it takes - TPO or EPDM over existing insulation $6.00–$8.00 Per square foot - PVC over existing insulation $7.00–$8.50 Per square foot - Full tear-off with R-30 insulation $14.50–$17.00 Per square foot, in TPO, EPDM, or PVC - Time on the job 1 week to 1 month By the roof's size; TPO is usually fastest #### What moves the price - The roof's size - The membrane and how it's attached - The insulation - Drainage and penetrations such as HVAC curbs Free inspection and written estimate. Financing available, ask Luis. 5% military discount. We take credit card, check, or cash. ### TPO, EPDM, and PVC: the three commercial roof materials we install All three are single-ply roofing systems: one sheet of membrane over the insulation, joined at the seams and flashed at every edge and opening. Choosing the right one comes down to the seams, the price, and how fast it goes on. #### TPO roofing TPO is a thermoplastic sheet whose seams are welded together with heat. Of the three, it usually goes on fastest. #### EPDM rubber roofing EPDM is a synthetic rubber sheet in 45, 60, or 90 mil, with seams taped or glued with primer. Industry sources put its life at 20 to 30 years. #### PVC roofing PVC is a thermoplastic sheet like TPO, with heat-welded seams. Over existing insulation it runs $7.00 to $8.50 per square foot, a little above TPO or EPDM. ### More questions for a commercial roofing contractor Comparing bids, insurance, winter work, inspections, repairs, and payment. For anything else, call Luis. Check that each bid names a tear-off or a recover, the membrane and its thickness, the insulation and any tapered insulation for drainage, and who issues the warranty.

Ice in the drains and scuppers holds meltwater on a flat roof. Hail falls mostly in March and April here, and thunderstorm wind peaks in May and June. #### Recent snow, ice, and wind near Pullman - Nov 29, 2025 Allegan More than 12 inches of snow - May 15, 2025 Kalamazoo Thunderstorm winds peeled roof paneling off an 8-story downtown building - May 7, 2024 Portage and Kalamazoo EF2 tornado; an industrial warehouse roof collapsed - Jan 12–17, 2024 Allegan County 1.5 to 2.5 feet of snow - Feb 22, 2023 Allegan County Ice storm with 0.7 inch of ice - Nov 11, 2019 Bangor 2 feet of lake-effect snow Source: NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database. #### Signs on the membrane - Open or lifting seams - Punctures from foot traffic or HVAC service - EPDM shrinking and pulling away from walls and curbs - Soft spots underfoot, which point to wet insulation #### Signs at the drains and edges - Water still standing 48 hours or more after rain - Loose flashing at curbs, parapets, and drains #### Signs inside the building - Water stains or drips on ceiling tiles The water runs under the membrane and through the insulation before it reaches the ceiling, so a patch over the drip can miss the real leak. Our free inspection looks for the spot where the water gets in. ### Leases, insurance, warranties, and your roofing contractor's license Four answers to settle before you approve a repair or plan roof maintenance on a commercial building. The lease decides. Under a gross lease, the landlord pays most repairs. A triple-net (NNN) lease puts maintenance on the tenant, often with a structural exclusion. Then the tenant pays for leak repairs, and the landlord pays to replace the roof. Lifetime Construction Builders puts every repair in a free written estimate. Your policy decides. Many commercial policies exclude cosmetic hail or wind damage, meaning marks that don't stop the roof keeping water out. Wind and hail deductibles are often 2% to 5% of the building's value. Lifetime Construction Builders helps with the insurance claim at no extra cost. It can. A repair that doesn't follow the maker's spec can affect an existing system warranty, so check your warranty before work starts. A material-only warranty covers membrane defects, not labor or seams. Lifetime Construction Builders backs its own repair work with a lifetime transferable warranty. For residential work of $600 or more, yes: LARA requires a residential builder or maintenance-and-alteration license. Lifetime Construction Builders holds Michigan license 252400088 and carries $1M general liability and $2M workers' comp. You can check any roofer's license with LARA.

Our customers wrote about crews that show up on time and call back. We're rated 4.9 out of 5 on Google. ### How a commercial roof repair goes, from the call to cleanup Every commercial repair follows the same steps. Luis, our regional manager, is your contact from the inspection on, and he picks up your calls. - 1 A real person answers, day or night Call (616) 360-2522 at any hour. When water is coming through the ceiling, a crew comes out the same day, within a few hours. - 2 A free inspection of the seams, flashing, and drains The crew walks the roof and checks the seams, the flashing at curbs and parapets, the drains, and every pipe or HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) unit that goes through it. More on roof leak detection and roof inspections. - 3 A written estimate with a price that doesn't change You get the repair and its price in writing, and the price doesn't change once you have it. Financing available, ask Luis. - 4 The membrane is cleaned, then patched or re-welded A patch only holds on clean membrane, so the crew cleans the damaged area first. Then they patch it or re-weld the open seam, the way your roof's membrane calls for. - 5 Flashing and roof penetrations are repaired Loose flashing at curbs, parapets, and drains gets fixed as part of the repair, along with the seals around pipes and units that go through the roof. - 6 Cleanup before the crew leaves Cleanup is part of the price, so the crew leaves your roof clear of scraps and old materials. ### Commercial roof repair cost and timeline A service call with a patch or seam repair costs $450 to $1,200, and larger membrane sections run $1,500 to $5,000. Most repairs take one visit. #### What a commercial roof repair costs - Service call with a patch or seam repair $450–$1,200 Most repairs take one visit - Larger membrane sections $1,500–$5,000 Priced by the size of the damage - Roof inspection and written estimate Free Before any work starts #### What moves the price - Membrane type: TPO, EPDM, or PVC - Size of the damage - Ponding and drainage - Snow load damage Included: cleaning and patching or re-welding the membrane, flashing and penetration repair, and cleanup. 5% military discount. We take credit card, check, or cash. ### How each commercial roofing system is repaired: TPO, EPDM, and PVC We work on these three single-ply roofing systems and no others, on repairs and on new commercial roofing projects. Each membrane takes a different repair. #### TPO roofs TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin, also called thermoplastic olefin) is a single-ply membrane with seams hot-air welded into one sheet. A patch on a TPO roof is welded on the same way. #### EPDM rubber roofs EPDM is a rubber membrane, so its seams are repaired with primer and seam tape, rolled down, and sealed at the edges. On EPDM, the cleaning and priming decide whether the repair holds. #### PVC roofs PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a thermoplastic membrane like TPO, and it's repaired the same way: cleaned, then patched or re-welded with hot air. ### More commercial roof repair questions Winter work, ponding, inspections, taxes, and when a roof needs replacing. Anything else, ask on the phone. Often, yes, following the membrane makers' cold-weather rules. At 40°F or lower, Mule-Hide calls for slower welding on TPO and a test weld each time the welder starts. Carlisle keeps EPDM primers and adhesives above 40°F. Lifetime Construction Builders answers winter leak calls 24/7 at (616) 360-2522. It is when it stays. The NRCA calls it ponding when water is still on the roof more than 48 hours after rain ends. Clogged drains or scuppers, a sagging deck, or too little slope cause it. Ponding and drainage are among the things that set Lifetime Construction Builders' repair price. At least twice a year, in spring and fall, and after hail or a tornado, the NRCA says. Lifetime Construction Builders' roof inspection is free with an estimate, after a storm, or for an insurance claim. When too much of it is wet. A common rule of thumb in the trade is that more than about 25% wet insulation means the roof should be replaced, not restored. Lifetime Construction Builders prices a full tear-off with R-30 insulation above the deck at $14.50 to $17.00 per square foot. It depends on the job, so ask your accountant. Under IRS rules, replacing a substantial part of the roof system is a capital improvement, while a partial repair may be expensed. Nonresidential roofs also qualify for Section 179.
