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.
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.
Asphalt shingle roof repairMSU 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.
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.
No. Lifetime Construction Builders tears off the old shingles on every new roof. The residential code also bars new shingles over two existing layers, or over a roof that's water-soaked or rotting.
Yes. Atlas says shingles installed in fall or winter may never seal on their own, so Lifetime Construction Builders hand-seals them with roofing cement. Heavy snow or ice can make some days unsafe for roofing, and the season is one of the things your price depends on.
Usually. Most Michigan cities and counties require a permit for a roof replacement or tear-off, and each township sets its own fee. Lifetime Construction Builders holds Michigan license 252400088, which LARA requires for residential jobs of $600 or more.

We're rated 4.9 out of 5 on Google. These homeowners wrote their reviews after we put on their new roof.
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.
“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 highly recommend this company. They were quick and efficient installing my new roof. The supervisors were friendly and very helpful when I had questions. The crew worked well together the the cleanup was perfect. It was done in one day.”
“Very professional and reliable company. I definitely recommend them for your next roof replacement.”
Every asphalt shingle roof installation we do runs the same six steps. Luis, our regional manager, picks up your calls from the first visit to the last.
Call (616) 360-2522; a real person answers 24/7. We look over your roof and measure it, because the roof's size and pitch set most of the price.

Your written estimate names the Atlas shingle line and the price, and that price doesn't change once you have it. Financing available, ask Luis.
The crew strips the old shingles down to the wood decking. Soft or rotten decking is replaced before anything new goes on.
Ice-and-water shield goes on at every eave to Michigan code. Drip edge, the metal strip along the roof's edge, goes on next.
The crew lays Atlas architectural shingles course by course, in Pinnacle Pristine where you chose it. In cold weather, we hand-seal each shingle.
A ridge vent goes in along the peak of the roof. Before the crew leaves, they haul the old roofing away and sweep the yard for nails.
Most homes cost $11,000 to $22,000 for a new roof in Atlas architectural shingles, or $500 to $700 per 100 square feet.
That price covers the tear-off, ice-and-water shield, drip edge, Atlas shingles, a ridge vent, haul-away, and the nail sweep. Premium or designer shingles sit at a higher price point, $700 to $850 per 100 square feet.

Every shingle roof we install uses Atlas architectural shingles, also called dimensional shingles, in the line you choose. 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.
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.
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.
Storm damage roof repairWe 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.

About 20 to 25 years is typical. A "lifetime" shingle warranty from Atlas means the original owner's lifetime on a single-family home, not the roof's life. Lifetime Construction Builders' free inspection shows how worn your shingles are now.
No. Atlas's shingle warranty excludes hail, tornadoes, and wind above its stated limit, so that damage goes through your homeowners insurance. Lifetime Construction Builders helps with the insurance claim at no extra cost.
Yes. Lifetime Construction Builders carries $2 million in workers' comp and $1 million in general liability. We hold Michigan license 252400088, which you can check with LARA.
