Who We Are

Why Houghton Trusts Roof Repair Smedway With Their Roof

Nobody on our crew learned Roofing work from a training video. They learned it climbing real roofs in Houghton, MI, in real weather, on jobs where a wrong call meant a callback.

We don't treat licensing as a formality — it's proof that the person on your roof knows what they're doing and that you're covered if anything goes sideways.

A roof repair that's "close enough" tends to fail again within a year, usually during the exact storm it was supposed to handle. We don't build that way.

Early Warning Signs

What A Failing Roof Looks Like Before The Leak

Catching a roof problem at the "annoying" stage is almost always cheaper than catching it at the "emergency" stage.

The earlier one of these signs gets a proper look, the smaller the repair usually stays; waiting rarely makes a roof problem cheaper to fix.

Grit In The Gutters

If the water coming off your downspouts looks gritty, the shingle surface is thinner than it should be.

Warped Or Cupped Tabs

Once a shingle starts warping, its seal against wind-driven rain is already compromised.

Pinholes In The Roof Deck

Pinpricks of light in the attic are an early, fixable version of what becomes a leak later.

Soft Spots In The Attic

Stains grow slowly, which is exactly why they get ignored until they spread.

Climbing Energy Bills

An unexplained bill increase is worth checking against your roof's condition.

Wind-Stripped Sections

Even a small missing section can let in enough water to rot decking in a single storm.

Core Services

Every Roofing Job We Handle In Houghton

Whatever the issue — emergency, routine, or somewhere in between — it gets handled by a crew that specializes in that exact type of work.

Below is the full breakdown of what we cover in Houghton, so you can see roughly where your situation fits before you even call.

Emergency

Storm Damage & Emergency Repair

When wind or hail rips open a section of roofing, we tarp it fast to stop water intrusion, then schedule the permanent fix right behind it.

Residential

Residential Roofing Services

Our residential scope covers shingle repair, full reroofs, ventilation upgrades, and skylight flashing fixes.

Commercial

Low-Slope Membrane Systems

Commercial roofs run different membrane systems entirely, and our crews are trained specifically on TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen.

Replacement

New Roof Installation

We'll tell you honestly whether your roof needs a full replacement or just a targeted repair — we don't default to the bigger invoice.

Inspection

Preventive Roof Checkups

Scheduled maintenance catches loose flashing and clogged valleys before the next storm turns them urgent.

Specialized

Chimney, Skylight & Flashing Repair

Chimney crickets, skylight seals, and valley flashing are common leak points that general repair crews often miss.

Financing and insurance-claim questions are addressed at this stage.

4

Warranty paperwork is handed over the same day the job wraps.

Why Choose Us

What Separates Our Roofing Crews From The Rest

If you've been burned by a roofing company before, these are the specific things we do differently, not just a promise that we're "better."

Local, Fast Dispatch

Crews based in Houghton, MI reach Houghton faster than out-of-area companies quoting a multi-week wait.

Quotes Before Any Work Starts

We'd rather lose a bid on an honest price than win one that grows later.

Trained On The Materials We Install

Certifications stay current so material warranties remain valid after installation.

Written Warranty On Labor

Every job includes a written labor warranty separate from the shingle manufacturer's coverage.

Insurance Documentation Help

We're not your insurance company, but we make that part of the process easier.

We Tell You What You Actually Need

If a repair solves the problem, that's what we recommend — we don't push a replacement to inflate the invoice.

A verbal promise means nothing when you actually need it, so ours is documented and handed over at project close.

We also guarantee the number on your estimate — barring a scope change you approve first, that's the number on your invoice.

We'd rather explain a guarantee in plain language upfront than have a homeowner discover the fine print later.
