Lake winds and ice dams are hard on a Brooklyn roof.
The heart of the Irish Hills, in southern Jackson County. Cottages and year-round homes, handled by our own licensed, insured crew.
Wind off the water finds the weak spot.
Around Brooklyn and the Irish Hills there’s very little standing between a house and the lakes, and wind that has crossed open water arrives with nothing taken out of it. It gets under shingle tabs, lifts at the rakes, and works ridge caps loose over a season or two. Ice dams are the other half of the problem here: snow melts, refreezes at the eave, and pushes water back up under the courses where nobody sees it until a ceiling stains. Cottages and year-round homes both get this treatment, and both need to be fastened for it rather than merely covered.
Seasonal properties add a wrinkle worth mentioning. A roof nobody looks at from October to May can leak quietly for a long time, and the damage we’re eventually called to see started two winters earlier. If you’ve got a place on one of the lakes and haven’t had eyes on it in a while, having somebody actually get up there is worth doing before it becomes a framing problem instead of a shingle problem.
When we do the work, it goes on to manufacturer spec. We’re certified through CertainTeed, LP SmartSide, James Hardie, and Lomanco, and following their instructions on underlayment, flashing, fastener pattern, and ventilation is what keeps the warranty on your materials good and what decides whether the roof reaches twenty years or forty. We’re licensed and insured, and the crew doing it is ours. We don’t subcontract, so nobody unfamiliar with your house shows up in our place.
Getting an answer costs nothing. We come out to Brooklyn, inspect the roof and siding properly, take photographs, and give you a straight read on the condition. If a repair will hold, that’s what we’ll recommend, even when a tear-off would be worth more to us. That’s the standard Andrew, Aaron, and Preston set when they founded the company three years ago. Scope and price go in writing before anything starts, our crew does the work, cleans up, and stands behind it, and the last invoice matches the first number.
Metal roofing, shingle roofing, roof repair, siding installation and replacement, storm and hail restoration including the insurance paperwork, seamless gutters, and commercial roofing each have a page below. Pick what applies, or call and describe what you’re seeing at the lake place.
Three things we don’t compromise on.
You’ll find these on every job we do, and they’re most of the reason our name travels by referral.
We never subcontract
You’ll know who’s pulling into your Brooklyn driveway, because it’s our crew every time. We don’t hand jobs to subcontractors, so the people you met when we quoted the work are the ones setting ladders and doing it.
Honest, no upsell
You’ll hear the plain truth from us, even when it means a smaller job. If your Brooklyn roof has life left in it, we’ll tell you to keep it and fix what’s wrong. Being honest about the work is the reason this company exists.
Certified and insured
You don’t have to take our word on quality. CertainTeed, LP SmartSide, James Hardie, and Lomanco have each certified our installers, which is four manufacturers vouching for how we put their products on. We’re fully licensed and insured as well.

How do I get a price for my Brooklyn project?
You’ll get a written price that spells out the scope: repair where a repair will hold, replacement only where it’s genuinely warranted. To get there, we visit your Brooklyn home, inspect the roof or siding, and show you what we found. We won’t throw out a number over the phone, and the look costs you nothing.
Do you handle storm and insurance work?
Yes. Hail damage repair, wind damage repair, and roof insurance claims are all part of our storm restoration work in Brooklyn. You deal with one crew from the first inspection through the last repair, and we help with the claim so you aren’t juggling a contractor and an adjuster by yourself.
Are you licensed and insured?
We are. Anchor Siding LLC is fully licensed and insured, and our installers are certified by CertainTeed, LP SmartSide, James Hardie, and Lomanco. That protects you on your Brooklyn job and keeps your manufacturer warranty good.
How long does roofing or siding take in Brooklyn?
Size and scope decide it. A simple roof goes faster than one with dormers and valleys, and a full re-side takes longer than replacing one wall. When we look at your Brooklyn project, we’ll give you a realistic schedule, anywhere from a single day for a repair to a couple of weeks for bigger work.
