Century-old homes along the Grand River, re-sided with respect.
A village on the Grand River in central Ionia County. Our own licensed, insured crew handles the whole job, and you will hear the truth about the house either way.
Century homes deserve more than a quick number.
A good many houses in Lyons went up when the village was a river town, and they were framed by people who expected them to last. They generally have: square, solid, still standing after a hundred Michigan winters. What they also have is layers. Original wood siding under one or two later coverings, roof decks of real board rather than sheet goods, additions joined to the main house at angles that require thought. You cannot price a house like that from the driveway, and anyone who tries is guessing with your money.
So we look properly first. The free roof look means one of us comes out, gets on the roof, examines the siding and the trim details, and photographs it all. Only then do you get a written scope and a firm price. On an older Lyons home that inspection routinely changes the recommendation: we find the leak is a failed chimney flashing rather than a failed roof, or that three courses of siding on the weather side need replacing while the rest is sound. We would rather deliver that news than the expensive alternative, which is the reason Andrew, Aaron, and Preston started Anchor in the first place.
Older houses also punish careless installation. Our CertainTeed, LP SmartSide, James Hardie, and Lomanco certifications set out how these materials are meant to go on, and on a hundred-year-old wall assembly that guidance genuinely matters: correct clearances, flashing behind the joints, ventilation that lets an old attic dry out instead of trapping moisture in it. Doing that properly takes longer. It is also the only version worth paying for.
Our own crew does every part of the job. No subcontractors, ever, so the people who quoted your house are the people working on it. We are licensed and insured, we protect the landscaping and clean up daily, and we stand behind the finished work. Most of what we do around Lyons comes from neighbors passing our name along.
Metal roofing, shingle roofing, roof repair, siding installation and replacement, storm and hail restoration with the insurance side handled, seamless gutters, commercial roofing: separate pages for separate jobs, because they are priced very differently. Take the one you need, or call and tell us about the house.
Three things we don’t compromise on.
The same three rules hold on every job we take, in every town we work. They are the reason neighbors pass our name along.
We never subcontract
Every Lyons job is our own crew, the people who quote your work are the people on your roof. That’s how the details stay right from the first fastener to the final cleanup, and it’s why the quality never depends on who a subcontractor sent that day.
Honest, no upsell
If a repair will hold, we’ll tell you. We don’t take Lyons homeowners’ money for work their home doesn’t need, that’s the reason we started, and it’s why so much of our work here comes from referrals rather than a hard sell.
Certified & insured
CertainTeed, LP SmartSide, James Hardie, and Lomanco certified, fully licensed and insured, using premium materials built for Michigan winters, installed to manufacturer spec, in the details that decide whether the work lasts. That certification is your assurance the work is done right and the warranty stays intact.
