Find the Right Roof for Your Michigan Home

Choosing a new roof is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your home, and here in Michigan, that decision carries even more weight. Between heavy snowfall, spring storms, and hot, humid summers, your roof is tested in every season. The right roofing type not only protects your home but also plays a major role in its energy efficiency, curb appeal, and resale value.

Many Michigan homeowners worry about questions like: 

  • Will this roof hold up to ice dams? 

  • Will it make my home more efficient? 

  • Will it look right with my neighborhood’s style?

Those are exactly the kinds of concerns our PROs are here to address. We have spent years helping families across Michigan find roofing solutions tailored to their homes and their budgets. Because we are a local team, we know what works here and what doesn’t. 

Our approach is simple: match you with the best roofing type for your property, install it with precision, and back it with a guarantee you can count on.

No matter which roof type you choose, the installation process is where quality truly shows. 

At HOME PRO, we’ve built our reputation on doing the job right, every single time. That means no subcontractors, no shortcuts, just a team of skilled PROs who take pride in their work.

Here’s what you can expect when you work with us:

  1. Free Consultation: We start by listening to your needs, inspecting your home, and discussing your goals.

  2. Custom Recommendation: Based on your home, budget, and preferences, we will suggest the roofing type that makes the most sense for you.

  3. Professional Installation: Our licensed and insured crews handle the entire process, including permits and site preparation. Every shingle or panel is installed with precision.

  4. Final Walkthrough: We finish with a detailed inspection and walkthrough to make sure everything meets our standards and yours.

Our process is designed to take the stress out of roof replacement, while keeping you informed every step of the way.

Compare Your Michigan Roofing Options

Choosing between asphalt and metal roofing often comes down to personal priorities. To make the decision a little easier, here is how they compare in the areas that matter most to Michigan homeowners:

  • Durability: Asphalt roofs last about 20 to 30 years, while metal can last 40 to 70 years.

  • Appearance: Both offer a wide variety of styles and colors - shingles for a classic look, metal for modern or distinctive designs.

  • Maintenance: Asphalt may need occasional repairs and replacement over time, while metal requires minimal upkeep.

  • Energy Efficiency: Metal has an edge in reflecting sunlight and reducing cooling costs, though advanced asphalt shingles also perform well.

If you are focused on initial affordability and traditional curb appeal, asphalt is often the best fit. If you want maximum lifespan, lower long-term maintenance, and energy-efficient performance, metal may be the better investment. Either way, our PROs will guide you through the decision with clear, honest recommendations.

The Best Roofing Types for Michigan Homes

Every home is different, but in Michigan, two roofing types stand out above the rest: asphalt and metal. These materials are reliable, proven, and designed to handle our state’s unique mix of weather challenges. 

The PROs at HOME PRO specialize in both, offering high-performing products from trusted manufacturers that give homeowners confidence in their choice.

Asphalt Roofing in Michigan

Asphalt roofing is by far the most popular residential roofing option in Michigan, and for good reason. It is versatile, cost-effective, and delivers a classic look that works well on everything from historic homes to new builds.

The HOME PRO team installs asphalt shingles from Owens Corning because they come in a wide range of styles, are engineered for durability, and are backed by long-term warranties.

But, of course, the appeal of asphalt shingles doesn’t end there. They are also highly resistant to the extreme temperatures and stormy weather that are all too common here in Michigan, so you can feel confident that they’ll make it through even the harshest winter. For anyone seeking a long-lasting roof at an affordable price, asphalt shingles are hard to beat.

Metal Roofing in Michigan

For Michigan homeowners looking for the ultimate in longevity and performance, metal roofing is a great choice. At HOME PRO, we install Unified Steel metal roofing systems, which combine modern engineering with attractive design options that look great in any neighborhood.

Michigan weather can be unpredictable, but metal roofing thrives in these conditions. It sheds snow efficiently, resists damage from hail and wind, and reflects heat to help keep energy bills in check during the summer.

While it is true that metal roofs have a higher upfront investment than asphalt, they also tend to last longer. It’s not at all uncommon for them to still be in excellent condition 40 or 50 years after they were installed.

Derrick installed our new shower. We have a very small bathroom and he did a great job. He keep me informed through every step of the project. He cleaned up after and provided me with instructions. I would strongly recommend Home Pro of Spring Lake for all of your needs. I'm hoping to get the windows done next.

Colin and Jeremy did an excellent job on new shower. The bathroom is brighter and new fan is quieter. They where very friendly and worked around my needs.

Wayne S.

Collin and team did a fantastic job replacing our very old shower/tub. It was beautifully done, and we couldn’t be happier. I won’t hesitate to call them for more projects!
