Century homes near the courthouse need careful hands.
The Livingston County seat, with its landmark courthouse. Certified installers, our own crew, and respect for a house that has stood a hundred years.
A century home is worth doing properly.
The streets around the Howell courthouse hold some of the best houses in Livingston County, and they were not built to modern dimensions. Steeper pitches than anything going up today. Deep overhangs, decorative brackets, wide trim boards, dormers with detailing somebody cut by hand. Get careless on a house like that and you can strip a hundred years of character off it in an afternoon, which is why we spend real time on the front end working out how the new material is going to meet the old before anybody starts tearing anything off.
Siding is usually where that question gets decided. Fiber cement can hold a historic profile and take paint the way the original did, and where weight or budget rules that out, LP SmartSide gets close. We are certified through James Hardie, LP SmartSide, CertainTeed, and Lomanco, which means installation follows the manufacturer’s spec exactly and your warranty stays good, but it also means we know which product actually suits your elevation instead of pushing whatever we happen to stock.
On the roof, the old details matter as much as the new ones. Flashing where a porch roof dies into a wall, valleys that have been patched by three different contractors over the decades, ventilation on an attic that never had any to speak of, and ice-and-water protection at eaves that see serious ice damming every winter. Those are the pieces that determine whether the work lasts twenty years or forty, and they are all invisible once the job is done, which is exactly why they get skipped by people in a hurry.
Start with a free roof look. We come out, get up there, inspect the siding, photograph the condition, and give you an honest read with the pictures in front of you. Then a clear written scope and a fair price, with repair recommended wherever a repair genuinely holds. Our own crew does the work, licensed and insured, never subcontracted, and the site is clean at the end of every day, because on a house like yours that is part of doing it right. Andrew, Aaron, and Preston built the company on telling homeowners the truth, and on a century home in Howell the truth is often that you need less than you feared.
Metal roofing, shingle installation and repair, siding installation and replacement, storm and hail restoration with the insurance paperwork handled, gutters, and commercial work each have their own page, since they are genuinely different jobs. Pick what brought you here, or call and describe what your Howell home needs.
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 Howell 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 Howell 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.
