Why Jenison Homeowners Choose Roofing Army

Our office is on Baldwin Street in Jenison, a few doors from the Georgetown Township hall, and it is the fifth Roofing Army office in Michigan and the first in West Michigan. Georgetown Township does not require a permit or an inspection for a shingle replacement, which means the contractor's own standards are the only check on the job. Ours are written down: full tear-off, 6 feet of ice and water shield at the eaves, cap nails on synthetic underlayment, a ventilation analysis on every estimate, a project manager on site, and never a deposit.

  • No Deposits Required
  • Family Owned & Operated

What Sets Roofing Army Apart in Jenison

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 Jenison Homeowners Face

Jenison sits on the flat, open ground south of the Grand River, about 20 miles inland from Lake Michigan, squarely in the lake-effect snow belt that gives the Grand Rapids area roughly 30 more inches of snow a year than Metro Detroit. Fifty-year-old subdivision trees and straight-line winds along the I-196 corridor do the rest of the work on roofs here.

Lake-Effect Snow and Ice Dams

The Grand Rapids area averages 76.9 inches of snow a year, roughly 30 inches more than Metro Detroit, and much of it arrives in lake-effect bands that sit on a roof for weeks. On the shallow-pitch 1960s ranches and bilevels in Rosewood, that snow melts at the ridge and refreezes at the eaves. We install 6 feet of ice and water shield at the eaves on every roof and correct the attic ventilation during replacement, which is the permanent fix.

1965 to 1985 Roofs Aging Out Together

The core of Jenison, from Cottonwood Drive and Baldwin Street to the blocks between 20th and 28th Avenues, went up in the 1970s and 80s. Georgetown Township added more than 3,300 housing units in the 1970s and nearly 3,000 more in the 1980s. Most of those homes are on their second or third roof, and shingles installed in the early 2000s are reaching end of life now. If yours went on before 2005, a free inspection ahead of a roof replacement is worth it.

Fifty-Year-Old Subdivision Trees

Jenison's subdivisions were planted with silver maple, honey locust, green ash, and Norway maple at the same time the houses went up, often eight feet off the foundation. Fifty years later those trees lean into soffits and drop limbs on roofs, and the ash are dead or dying from emerald ash borer. A limb through the decking is an emergency tarping call first and a repair second.

Straight-Line Winds Along I-196

Jenison is flat and open along the I-196 corridor, and summer thunderstorms and straight-line winds regularly bring down limbs and lift shingles across the township. Creased tabs and broken seals often are not visible from the ground. After any major storm, a free storm damage inspection documents everything for your insurance claim before small openings become interior leaks.

Split Attics on Bilevels and Tri-Levels

Jenison has plenty of bilevels and tri-levels from the 1960s and 70s, and their stepped rooflines create two or three separate attic spaces that rarely vent as a system. Trapped heat cooks shingles from below in summer and feeds ice dams in winter. Every Roofing Army estimate includes a full ventilation analysis, not just a shingle count.

Local Roofing Insights for Jenison

Rosewood

Early-1960s ranches and bilevels around Rosewood Park at 18th Avenue and Rosewood Street, with Rosewood Elementary on Tyler Street. Shallow pitches, small soffits, and split attics make these Jenison's most ice-dam-prone roofs, and many are on a roof that is nearing the end of its life.

Core Jenison: Cottonwood Drive to 28th Avenue

The 1970s and 80s heart of town along Cottonwood Drive, Baldwin Street, and the blocks between 20th and 28th Avenues, where our office sits. Simple gable colonials, ranches, and tri-levels under fifty-year-old silver maples and honey locusts that now lean over the roofs.

Cedar Lake and Georgetown Shores

Larger waterfront homes on Cedar Lake, an all-sports lake, along Fillmore Street, 24th Avenue, and Cedar West Drive, plus early-1960s homes in Georgetown Shores near Wallinwood Springs Golf Club. Bigger roof planes and more valleys reward careful flashing work.

Eagles Ridge and Ravinewood

New construction at the edges of town, with two-story plans up to about 3,100 square feet and multiple roof planes. These roofs are years from replacement, but storm damage and builder-grade ventilation shortcuts are worth a look after the first big wind event.

Building Permits & Codes in Jenison

No Permit Needed

Georgetown Charter Township

The township's official "Do I Need a Building Permit?" guide lists replacing roof shingles under "No Paperwork Needed," so a like-for-like shingle replacement needs no permit or township inspection. Roof truss work does require a building permit through the Building & Zoning Department at 1515 Baldwin St (616-457-2340, ext. 2), reviewed by Professional Code Inspections at 1913 Baldwin St (616-667-8803). If tear-off exposes structural damage, we file that permit.

The township's 2025 fee schedule lists no roofing permit fee. If structural work triggers a building permit, the current fees come from the township and PCI schedules and are included in our written estimate.

Jenison is unincorporated, so every Jenison address is in Georgetown Charter Township and follows the same rules. Addresses with a Hudsonville mailing address inside the township follow them too; the City of Hudsonville has its own building department.

No inspector means the contractor's own standards are the only check on a Jenison reroof. Every Roofing Army installation follows Michigan Residential Code and manufacturer specifications regardless, with ice and water shield installed 6 feet up from the eaves, three times the code minimum, on every Jenison roof.

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.”
