Roof Replacement and Repair for Petoskey Homes and Businesses
A roof replacement in Petoskey has to be specified for the weight it will carry in February, not the weather on install day. We size underlayment, ice and water shield coverage, ventilation, and fastening schedules to the snow loads this side of the bay sees every winter. Homeowners can choose from residential systems including architectural slate, cedar shake, clay tile, and standing seam metal. Business owners, medical offices, and property managers rely on our commercial roofing team for TPO, EPDM, and other low-slope membranes, along with roof coatings when an existing membrane still has life left in it.
Petoskey has one of the densest collections of historic and seasonal housing in Northern Michigan, from the Victorian cottages of Bay View to century-old homes near downtown. These roofs often have steep pitches, multiple dormers, turrets, and original materials that a standard shingle crew isn’t equipped to match. Our crews work in slate, cedar, and metal every week, so we can repair or replace a historic roof while keeping its original character intact. For owners who close up a property for the winter, we offer roof inspections before the season and emergency snow and ice removal while you’re away, so problems are caught before they become interior damage.
Shower Glass and Custom Glazing for Petoskey Renovations
Planning a bathroom renovation? Our B&B Glass division designs and installs frameless shower doors and custom shower enclosures, measured on site and fabricated in-house to fit walls that are rarely plumb in older homes. We also install custom mirrors, glass railings for decks overlooking the bay, and skylights that bring more daylight into darker northern-facing rooms. For Petoskey businesses, schools, and public buildings, we handle commercial storefronts and windows, including blast-resistant glazing built to government specifications.
Emergency Roof Leak and Ice Dam Service
A leak that starts during a January thaw can soak insulation and drywall within hours. Our roof leak repair and snow and ice removal crews answer calls 24/7, with response coming from Harbor Springs rather than downstate. Outside of emergencies, we handle gutter cleaning before freeze-up and window cleaning for homes and storefronts.
Copper Restoration for Historic Properties
Replacing failed copper on an older home means matching what was there: the gutter profile, the seam style, and the way new metal will age next to a century of patina. Through our 2026 acquisition of Copper Shoppe, we now shape that work in our own metal fabrication shop, so replacement pieces are formed to the existing profile instead of the closest stock option. That includes copper roof sections over bays and porches, flashing, and decorative trim for renovations and restorations around Petoskey.
