Shingle Installation in Lapeer, MI
The right shingles installed correctly make all the difference in Michigan's climate. We help Lapeer homeowners choose and install shingles that last.
Choosing Shingles for Michigan Weather
Michigan's climate demands more from roofing shingles than most of the country. Freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams, heavy snow loads, spring hail, and high winds all challenge roofing materials year-round. The shingles that work well in the Southeast or Southwest often underperform in Michigan. We recommend products specifically suited to northern climates and install them per manufacturer specifications for maximum warranty coverage.
Architectural vs 3-Tab Shingles in Lapeer
Three-tab shingles are the traditional flat shingle still found on many older Lapeer homes. Architectural (dimensional) shingles are thicker, more durable, and carry significantly better wind resistance ratings — typically 110–130 mph vs 60–70 mph for 3-tab. For Michigan's wind and ice conditions, architectural shingles are the right choice for virtually every new installation. The cost difference is modest and the performance advantage is substantial.
Our Shingle Installation Process
Proper installation matters as much as shingle quality. We install ice and water shield along all eaves, in valleys, and around penetrations — critical in Michigan for ice dam protection. Synthetic underlayment goes over the full deck. Shingles are installed with the correct nail pattern and placement for the chosen product. Ridge cap is cut from matching shingles or installed as a separate product for enhanced appearance and weather resistance.
