Protect Your Home with Proven Roofing

Your roof takes the full force of Michigan winters and summer storms, and when shingles start to curl, crack, or lose granules, you notice it in your attic, your energy bills, and the way water runs off your home. In Springport and throughout Central Michigan, where seasonal shifts put constant pressure on roofing materials, a properly installed shingle roof keeps moisture out, insulation working, and your home looking finished. Ahler Building Solutions handles full tear-offs, decking inspections, and complete reinstallation using asphalt shingles built to handle the freeze-thaw cycles common across this area.

This service covers removal of old shingles down to the decking, inspection for rot or soft spots, installation of underlayment, drip edge, and flashing, and precise placement of either architectural or standard asphalt shingles. You choose the shingle profile that fits your budget and the look you want, and the work includes proper ventilation setup to reduce heat buildup and moisture trapped under the roof. Architectural shingles add depth and texture, while standard three-tab shingles offer a clean, traditional appearance at a lower cost.

If your roof is showing wear or you want to talk through your options before the next storm season hits Springport or Central Michigan, reach out to discuss what your home needs.

The crew starts by removing every layer of old shingles, exposing the roof deck so any damaged or rotted plywood can be identified and replaced before new materials go down. In Springport and Central Michigan, where older homes sometimes have multiple shingle layers or hidden water damage, this step catches problems that would otherwise shorten the life of your new roof. New underlayment goes on next, followed by drip edge along the eaves and rake, then step flashing around chimneys, vents, and sidewalls.

Once the roof is sealed and prepped, shingles are nailed in straight courses from the eave up to the ridge, with each row overlapping to shed water correctly. You will see clean lines, uniform color, and a roof that sits flat without waves or lifted edges. Proper ventilation installed during the process helps your attic stay cooler in summer and drier in winter, which reduces ice dam risk and extends shingle life.

The work includes cleanup of all debris, magnetic sweeps for nails, and a final walkthrough to confirm flashing is sealed, shingles are secure, and ridge caps are nailed down. This is not a patch job, it is a full roof replacement done to manufacturer specs so your warranty stays valid and your home stays protected through every season.

Homeowners often want to know how long the work takes, what shingle types are available, and whether their roof deck will need repairs before the new roof goes on.

Most residential roofs in Springport and Central Michigan are completed in one to three days, depending on roof size, pitch, and weather. The crew works straight through once they start to minimize exposure.

If your roof is over fifteen years old, has visible damage, or you are planning to stay in your Springport home for the long term, now is a good time to talk through your options. Ahler Building Solutions can walk the roof, explain what needs attention, and give you a clear picture of cost and timing before any work begins.
