Take Advantage of Our Elite Residential Roofing Services in Houghton Lake
Life around Houghton Lake revolves around the water, the seasons, and homes that are built to be used year-round. Whether it’s a lakeside residence with wide-open views, a quiet neighborhood home just off M-55, or a cabin that sees heavy use during summer and winter alike, properties in the Houghton Lake area face a unique mix of environmental stress. Long winters, lake-effect snow, heavy ice buildup, and moisture from the lake itself all place added demands on roofing systems.
At Big Rapids Roofing, we work with homeowners throughout the Houghton Lake area to install and maintain roofing systems designed specifically for Northern Michigan conditions. Our focus is simple: build roofs that perform reliably through snowstorms, freeze-thaw cycles, and humid summer months without cutting corners.
Roofing Solutions Built for Lake-Country Conditions
Homes near Houghton Lake experience more than just typical Midwestern weather. Snow accumulation can linger for months, ice dams are common along roof edges, and moisture levels stay high due to proximity to the water. Over time, these conditions can weaken shingles, compromise flashing, and create hidden moisture problems that aren’t always obvious until damage is already underway.
That’s why roofing in the Houghton Lake area requires thoughtful planning and the right materials. Big Rapids Roofing installs complete roofing systems designed to manage snow load, shed ice efficiently, and protect your home from moisture intrusion.
Our roofing solutions include:
- Architectural, premium, and impact-resistant asphalt shingles built for durability
- Metal roofing systems that allow snow and ice to slide off safely
- Proper attic ventilation to minimize ice dam formation and condensation
- Ice and water shield protection in critical areas
- High-quality flashing and underlayment for long-term leak resistance
We don’t treat roofing as a surface-level project. Every installation is approached as a layered system that works together to protect your home year after year.
Residential Roofing Services for Houghton Lake Homeowners
Homes around Houghton Lake vary widely, from older lake cottages that need modern protection to newer full-time residences designed for year-round living. No matter the structure, Big Rapids Roofing offers reliable service backed by local experience and straightforward communication.

- Comprehensive roof inspections to identify aging materials or storm damage
- Full roof replacements using materials suited for Northern Michigan climates
- Roof repairs for leaks, wind damage, snow load stress, and ice-related issues

BRR is A++ at all levels from Nicholas, Project Manager / Sales Representative, David and Lance Skylight Installers, Faith in the office, Gus an active owner, and to the subcontractor roofing installers. It was a very smooth process due … More to their diligence, pride of work, and professionalism. BRR is the company to turn to especially when the need arises to replace skylights. The company is an authorized dealer and installer of highly rated Velux Skylights. Google: Velux Skylights, put in your zip code, and the sole party that shows up is BRR. My project was somewhat unusual since I wanted to replace my discontinued 20-year-old Andersen skylights at the same time reroofing the shingles and related. I learned from the Internet search that various experts recommend to also change "old" (20 years clearly qualifies) skylights when reroofing. A delay only means an eventual old skylight failure, leaks, additional damage, fighting the elements, shingles torn off to replace and the inevitable higher cost!! Since Andersen no longer manufactures skylights, I needed to pursue "Plan B" with BRR / Velux. Essentially, BRR "fit a square peg in a round hole" with a perfect, beautiful, and high-quality replacement. The new ones are more esthetically pleasing and energy efficient than the former ones. I should have started with BRR. Instead, I received the runaround from other roofing companies that claim to replace skylights. The key to skylight replacement is 1). hire trained Velux installers and 2). buy a quality Velux product. Now, I am all set for another extended period time since I know the job was done right the first time.

We completed our new roofing project Oct ‘25. It was a little bit of a slow start in terms of scheduling but once scheduled the process was quick and easy. We are happy with the quality of the work and the cleanup was excellent. There are … More good financing options available.

The staff at Big rapids roofing was very professional and friendly. They were able to explain to me why my roof was leaking and what needs to be done to fix it. They also helped direct us to a place to get a loan with a decent interest … More rate.

I found Big Rapids roofing because I specifically wanted a roofer who would install Timberline shingles. I found them through the GAF timberline website as certified installers. Building delays for my chimney completion meant they could … More not start until December. As soon as the chimney was finished I called them and they fit me in quickly. They had to blow snow off the roof in order to work. They did a complete tear off and I had the water barrier applied to the entire roof surface, rather than just the valleys as other roofers would do. And the price was more reasonable. They did excellent clean up, and because of the weather their trucks sank into my yard leaving some ruts. They sent a guy out with bags of dirt and grass seed to rectify this, although I did not insist on that. I'm very pleased.

From my initial call with them to our quote visit this company was very friendly and professional, in the office, in the field or on the roof. We spent a day with various roofing companies and none of the others could match them in any … More area. It was an easy choice to go with Big Rapids Roofing! From the day we got our quote to job completion it was all done in less than two weeks! They do not mess around. The crew doing our roof did an exemplary job, exhibiting great work ethic and care. I can’t recommend them enough. You will not be disappointed going with Big Rapids Roofing. I’m calling them back when we need our windows done! Thank you BRR, you have a walking, talking billboard in me!
