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.
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.
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.

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.
Good solid company. Fair price, showed up when they said they would, got the job done. Had some leak issues around the chimney flashing and they came out same week to fix it. No complaints.
“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.”
“Great customer service and competitive pricing. Look to them to do your roof. Very professional and on time.”
“Lifetime Construction Builders LLC was very professional! Their work was fast, efficient and clean.”
Every repair runs the same six steps, with Luis, our regional manager, as your contact the whole way through.
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.
For a roof that's open to the weather, read about emergency tarping.
We go up on the roof and check the shingles, flashing, pipe boots, valleys, and decking around the leak or damage. The inspection costs nothing.

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.
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.
Before the crew leaves, they clean up the old roofing materials and sweep the yard for nails.
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.
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 replacement pricesFree inspection and written estimate. Financing available, ask Luis. 5% military discount. We take credit card, check, or cash.
The kind of roof you have changes the repair and its price.
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.
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.
Metal roof repairTPO, 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.
Commercial roof repairPermits, Michigan code, winter leaks, insurance, and matching shingles. Anything else, ask on the phone.
A person answers 24/7(616) 360-2522It 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.
