Why Allendale Homeowners Choose Roofing Army

Nearly three quarters of the homes in Allendale Charter Township went up after 1990, which means thousands of first-generation roofs are reaching the end of their life at the same time, and more than a third of the housing is rental property with an owner who cannot be on site. We are built for both: a dedicated project manager on every job, a job portal with drone photos so a landlord in Grand Rapids can watch the roof go on from a desk, and never a deposit. Roofing Army is new to West Michigan, and we plan to earn Allendale one roof at a time from our Jenison office 15 minutes away.

  • Family Owned & Operated

What Sets Roofing Army Apart in Allendale

Who We Are

Roofing Army was built by Aaron Scott, a licensed residential builder who has spent his entire life in the home service industry and never lost his passion for the craft. Aaron lives in Oxford, where he is raising two young daughters with his wife, and he works alongside our crews across Michigan. He runs this company the same way he runs his home: with pride, integrity, and a refusal to cut corners.

Several of our crew members are Army veterans, and that ethos runs through everything we do: show up, do the work right, and serve the people counting on you. We are not obsessed with profits. We are obsessed with roofing. We built Roofing Army to be everything the other guys are not, and we are proud of every shingle that proves it.

Roofing Challenges Allendale Homeowners Face

Allendale sits on the flat, open farmland of central Ottawa County, a dozen miles inland from Lake Michigan, with the Grand River wrapping its north and east edges. Lake-effect snow rides in on west and northwest winds, and the young subdivisions have almost no mature windbreak to slow either the wind or the drifting.

Lake-Effect Snow Load and Ice Dams

Ottawa County catches the heaviest lake-effect bands when the wind comes off Lake Michigan from the west and northwest, and Grand Rapids alone averaged about 77 inches a year from 1991 to 2020. That much snow on a roof feeds ice dams at every cold eave. Every roof replacement we install carries 6 feet of ice and water shield at the eaves, well past the code minimum, plus a corrected ventilation plan.

Open-Field Wind on Young Subdivisions

Agriculture is still the largest single land use in the township, and the subdivisions off Lake Michigan Drive were built on former fields with trees that are barely two decades old. Nothing slows the wind before it hits the roof. Lifted tabs and creased shingles are common after a front and usually invisible from the ground. A free storm damage inspection documents everything for your claim.

First-Generation Roofs Aging Out Together

About 42 percent of Allendale's homes were built between 1990 and 2009, and most still wear the original builder-grade shingles. Those roofs are hitting 20 to 30 years at the same time across entire streets. If yours went on before 2006, schedule a free inspection before a small failure becomes a roof repair emergency in February.

Rental Roofs Nobody Is Watching

More than a third of the township's housing is rental property, much of it landlord-owned houses and duplexes near campus. Tenants do not report a missing shingle or a stuffy attic, and a small leak can run for a semester. We run an attic ventilation analysis on every estimate and document the whole job in a portal with drone photos, so an owner in Grand Rapids sees exactly what a tenant never would.

Freeze-Thaw on Walkout and Lakefront Homes

Placid Waters and Hidden Shores West are built on walkout and pond-front sites where snow drifts deep against the low side of the house and melts and refreezes for weeks. Valleys, dormer flashing, and the eaves over a walkout wall are where we find the damage. When a winter leak starts, emergency tarping buys time until the roof can be opened up safely.

Local Roofing Insights for Allendale

Lake Michigan Drive Corridor, 56th to 64th

The 1990s and 2000s single-family blocks along and behind M-45, on former farmland with young trees and open wind exposure. Mostly simple gable ranches, bi-levels, and two-stories on their original builder-grade shingles, which puts entire streets in first-replacement territory now.

Placid Waters and Hidden Shores West

The township's newest phases at 84th and 78th Avenues, with larger two-story and main-floor-primary homes on walkout and pond-front sites. Bigger roof planes, multiple valleys, and deep drifting on the low side of the house reward careful flashing and 6 feet of ice and water shield.

48th Avenue and Pierce Street, the Campus Side

Where the township concentrates student housing: big complexes plus landlord-owned houses and duplexes registered with the township each year. We schedule around summer lease turnover, keep a project manager on site, and document every step in the portal for owners who are not local.

Farmhouses on the County Roads

Fewer than one Allendale home in ten predates 1970, and many of those are farmhouses on the county roads, in a township where farming is still the largest single land use and prime farmland runs north of M-45 between 56th and 74th Avenues. Steeper pitches, plank decking, and additions with mismatched rooflines mean these get a board-by-board deck inspection at tear-off.

Building Permits & Codes in Allendale

Permit Required

Allendale Charter Township

A building permit is required for a full tear-off and reroof under the Michigan Residential Code the township enforces. The township contracts permits and inspections to Professional Code Inspections of Michigan (PCI), Jenison office, 1913 Baldwin St, Jenison, MI 49428 (616-667-8803). The licensed contractor files the application. We handle the entire process.

The township's published fee schedule does not list a flat reroof fee. Building permit rates come from the Planning and Community Development Department at 6676 Lake Michigan Dr (616-895-6295, ext. 1109). All permit costs are included in our written estimate.

Every Allendale address is in Allendale Charter Township. There is no separate city or village, so one building department, administered by PCI, covers the whole town.

Every Roofing Army installation follows the Michigan Residential Code and manufacturer specifications. We install ice and water shield well past the minimum code requirement on every Allendale roof, because the snow here demands it.

Hundreds of Happy Customers

“Aaron performed a very thorough inspection of the roof with a well-documented report. I was provided a very reasonable quote for a new roof with many options. The whole process was transparent and professional from start to finish.”

“After getting the runaround from a couple other companies, Aaron came out and was completely straight with me about what I needed. No pressure, no scare tactics, just honest info. The crew showed up on time, did solid work, and left the place clean.”

“This was an extremely smooth process. Starting with Aaron Scott who handled the estimate, he was friendly, on time, no hard sell, just advised me of problems and gave a good price. Evan and the roofers took it from there. The clean up was excellent. I would highly recommend Roofing Army.”
