What Sets Roofing Army Apart in Lapeer

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 right here in Oxford on West Drahner Road, raising two young daughters with his wife, and 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 Lapeer Homeowners Face

Lapeer sits in the heart of Lapeer County, further north than most of the Metro Detroit suburbs. Winters are longer, snowfall is heavier, and homes here take a beating from November through April. The mix of in-town neighborhoods and surrounding rural properties creates varied roofing challenges.

Heavy Snow & Ice Dams

Lapeer gets more annual snowfall than communities further south in Oakland County. The older homes downtown and in established neighborhoods have minimal attic ventilation, making them prime targets for ice dams every winter. We install 6 feet of ice and water shield at all eaves on every roof replacement.

Wind & Storm Damage

Lapeer County is exposed to open farmland on all sides. Winter storms and spring thunderstorms hit with sustained winds that lift shingle tabs, break seals, and blow off ridge caps. If you notice storm damage after a storm, call us for a free inspection.

Aging Downtown Homes

The neighborhoods around the Lapeer County Courthouse and along Nepessing, Saginaw, and Oregon Streets have homes dating back to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Many have steep pitches, decorative trim, and original construction that predates modern building standards. These require experienced crews for a proper replacement.

Tree Coverage & Algae

Lapeer's mature tree canopy, especially in the older residential neighborhoods, creates shaded roofs that hold moisture and encourage algae growth. Atlas shingles with Scotchgard protector granules resist the black streaking that plagues shaded roofs. Regular gutter maintenance is also critical in treed areas.

Failed Pipe Boot Flashings

Rubber pipe boot flashings crack after 10 to 15 years. On Lapeer's older homes this is one of the most common leak sources we find. This is one of the first things we check during every roof repair inspection.

Local Roofing Insights for Lapeer

Downtown & Historic Neighborhoods

Homes around the Lapeer County Courthouse and along Nepessing, Saginaw, Oregon, and Clay Streets. Built in the late 1800s and early 1900s with steep pitches, dormers, and complex roof geometries. Require careful flashing work and ventilation correction.

Lapeer Township Subdivisions

Established neighborhoods along Lake Nepessing Road, Daley Road, and Genesee Street. Mid-century ranch and colonial homes, many with original roofs 25 to 30 years old. Standard residential roofing that is overdue for replacement.

Rural Properties

Larger lots with more tree coverage, longer driveways, and expansive roof systems. Proper staging for materials and equipment is essential. These homes benefit from premium shingles with algae resistance and well-maintained gutter systems.

Lapeer County Seat

Lapeer is the county seat and civic hub for surrounding communities. Served by Lapeer Community Schools. Homeowners here value their properties and expect quality work from local contractors they can trust.
