Why Zeeland Homeowners Choose Roofing Army

Zeeland is a town that builds things, from Herman Miller furniture on E Main Ave to Gentex mirrors on N Centennial St, and homeowners here know the difference between work that is done right and work that just looks done. We opened our Jenison office in September 2026 as our first West Michigan location, and we brought the same standard we run across our Michigan offices: a project manager on site for every job, in-house crews, five quotes at different price points, and never a deposit. You pay when the roof is finished and you are satisfied with it.

What Sets Roofing Army Apart in Zeeland

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 Zeeland Homeowners Face

Zeeland sits in the Lake Michigan snow belt, about 15 miles inland from the lakeshore, where lake-effect bands drop far more snow than Metro Detroit ever sees. Open farmland across Zeeland Charter Township, a mature tree canopy on the older streets, and freeze-thaw winters all leave their mark on roofs here.

Lake-Effect Snow Load and Ice Dams

The Grand Rapids airport averages about 72 inches of snow a year, and Zeeland sits closer to the lake than Grand Rapids. Snow that stays on a roof for weeks turns any attic air leak into an ice dam at the eaves. The permanent fix is attic ventilation correction plus ice and water shield well past code minimum. We install 6 feet at the eaves on every roof.

Century-Old Homes Along Central Avenue

The blocks along E Central Ave, Lincoln Ave, and State St hold homes from the 1890s through the 1920s, with steep pitches, dormers, and original plank decking under multiple shingle layers. A proper roof replacement here means tearing off to the deck, repairing boards, and rebuilding the ventilation, not laying another layer on top.

Hunters Creek and the 1990s Roof Wave

Hunters Creek Estates went up roughly 1989 to 2002, and the surrounding township subdivisions of the same era are hitting the end of their first or second roof together. A single lifted valley or failed pipe boot on an otherwise sound roof is often a roof repair, not a replacement. We tell you which one you actually need.

Open Farmland and Lakeshore Wind

Outside the city, Zeeland Charter Township is still largely open farmland toward Drenthe and Vriesland, and the newer subdivisions off 96th Ave and 104th Ave sit with little mature windbreak between them and Lake Michigan. Wind-lifted shingles and creased tabs often are not visible from the ground. A free storm damage inspection documents everything for your insurance claim.

Mature Canopy on the Older Streets

The tree canopy along Central Avenue and the wooded, creek-side lots in Hunters Creek Estates are part of what makes those streets desirable, and they are hard on roofs. Overhanging limbs trap moisture against shingles, and heavy wet lake-effect snow brings branches down. If a limb opens your roof in a storm, our emergency tarping crew gets it dried in before the interior takes damage.

Local Roofing Insights for Zeeland

Central Avenue

Zeeland's signature historic street, with an 1899 Queen Anne at 360 E Central and a 1922 Craftsman at 425 E Central among homes from the same era. Steep pitches, dormers, and original plank decking mean tear-off, deck repair, and ventilation work are the norm. City of Zeeland permits apply.

Hunters Creek Estates

Wooded, creek-side lots on Elk Dr and Hunters Creek Dr, built roughly 1989 to 2002 in Zeeland Charter Township. Mature trees, first-generation roofs at or past end of life, and a heavy leaf load that keeps valleys wet. The neighborhood most likely to need a second roof in the next few years.

Bluff Lakes and Greystone Estates

Newer township construction from the last 10 to 15 years: Bluff Lakes east of 96th Ave around two small private lakes, Greystone Estates off 104th Ave and Perry St. Larger homes, multi-valley rooflines, and open exposure to lakeshore wind. Careful flashing work and exact measurement matter here.

Downtown and Imperial Estates

The walkable core around Main Ave and Huizenga Park, plus the established traditional homes in Imperial Estates near Gentex on N Centennial St. Simpler postwar rooflines, mature trees, and City of Zeeland permits. We handle the process.

Building Permits & Codes in Zeeland

Permit Required

City of Zeeland

A building permit is required for a reroof. Permits run through the Community Development Department at 21 S Elm St (616-772-0872). The city's own application has a roofing section covering number of squares, re-sheeting, and ice and water shield. Applications can be mailed, emailed, or dropped off at City Hall. We file it and schedule the inspections.

Permit Fee Breakdown

Building permit$50 base fee plus $5 for each $1,000 of project value, per the fee schedule on the city application
Example on a $15,000 roof$50 + $75 = $125
Work started without a permitMay be subject to an additional $100 administrative fee

Fees come from the schedule printed on the city's building permit application and can change. Whatever the current numbers are, we handle the permit and the cost is included in your written estimate.

No Permit Needed

Zeeland Charter Township

The township lists replacement of roof shingles only, with no structural work, as exempt from a building permit. Once decking or sheathing is replaced, a permit is required and is filed with Professional Code Inspections of Michigan (PCI) at 1913 Baldwin St, Jenison (616-667-8803), not the township hall. We tear off to the deck on every job and pull the permit whenever decking work is on the estimate.

Permit Fee Breakdown

Projects up to $1,000$40, per PCI's 2022 residential fee schedule for the township
Projects $1,001 to $10,000$40 plus $10 for each additional $1,000
Projects over $10,000$130 plus $4 for each additional $1,000
Work started without a permit$150 investigation fee

Fees come from PCI's published 2022 schedule for the township and can change. When a permit applies, we handle it and the cost is included in your written estimate.

The City of Zeeland is the compact core around Main Ave and Central Ave. Bluff Lakes, Greystone Estates, Hunters Creek Estates, Sundance Estates, and most newer subdivisions are Zeeland Charter Township. We confirm your jurisdiction from the address and file with the right department.

Every Roofing Army installation follows Michigan Residential Code and manufacturer specifications regardless of jurisdiction. We install 6 feet of ice and water shield at the eaves on every Zeeland roof, well past the minimum code requirement, because the lake-effect 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.”
