Shingle Roof Installation

Shingle Roof Installation in Grand Rapids

Owens Corning Platinum Preferred. Family-Owned Since 2007.

Moore & Sons Roofing has been installing shingle roofs across Grand Rapids and Kent County since 2007. We’re a second-generation, family-owned team that’s fully licensed and insured, BBB accredited with an A+ rating, and one of fewer than 1% of roofing contractors nationwide to hold Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor status. That credential isn’t a marketing badge. It means our customers get access to extended warranty options and premium product lines that standard contractors simply can’t offer.

We work with materials from Owens Corning, CertainTeed, Atlas, and 3M, and our sales representatives can walk you through your options honestly, without pressure. We’re also members of the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), and we serve customers in both English and Spanish.

Free estimates are available with no obligation. Call us at (616) 779-5824 to schedule yours today.

How We Handle a Shingle Roof Installation

Every installation starts with a thorough roof deck inspection. Any compromised decking is replaced before a single shingle goes down. We then install premium underlayment to create a waterproof barrier between the deck and the finished roof.

Shingles are applied to manufacturer specifications: correct nailing patterns, proper alignment, and the right overlap. These details aren’t optional. Getting them right plays a key role in whether a manufacturer warranty remains in effect over the life of the roof. We also install flashing around chimneys, vents, and roof valleys, and we address attic ventilation as part of every project. Once the work is done, we use magnetic tools to collect nails and debris, haul away all old materials, and conduct a final walkthrough with the homeowner. Dedicated job-site attendants keep you informed throughout the project, not just at the beginning and end.

Why Michigan’s Climate Demands More from a Shingle Installation

West Michigan’s weather puts real demands on residential roofing. Lake-effect snowfall from Lake Michigan loads Grand Rapids roofs with significant seasonal weight and moisture each winter. Fall and spring bring freeze-thaw cycles that cause roofing materials to expand and contract repeatedly. Shingles installed without following manufacturer specs break down faster under these conditions.

Ice dams are a direct risk for Kent County homeowners. They form when heat escapes through a poorly ventilated attic, melting snow near the roof peak while the eaves stay frozen. Meltwater refreezes at the edge and forces water back under the shingles. Proper underlayment selection and attic ventilation design are the primary defenses. West Michigan spring windstorms add wind-uplift exposure to the mix, which is one reason architectural (dimensional) shingles have become the more common choice for homes in this region. They carry higher wind-resistance ratings than standard 3-tab shingles and hold up better against the freeze-thaw cycle year after year.

Why Grand Rapids Homeowners Choose Moore & Sons Roofing

Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status sets us apart from most local contractors. Fewer than 1% of roofers nationally hold this designation, and it directly affects what we can offer you: longer warranty coverage and access to premium-grade products. We pair that with a multi-brand approach, so you’re not limited to one manufacturer’s product line. Owens Corning, CertainTeed, Atlas, and 3M all carry options suited to Michigan’s climate, and we’ll help you find the right fit.

Our sales representatives listen first. There are no upsells, no pressure tactics. The installers who follow them are trained in current methods and product specifications, and they treat every project with the accountability you’d expect from a team where the owners’ names are on every job. We’ve been handling shingle roof installation in Grand Rapids since 2007, and we’re BBB accredited with an A+ rating and proud members of the NRCA.

3-Tab vs. Architectural Shingles: Choosing the Right Fit

We install both 3-tab and architectural (dimensional) shingles, drawing from product lines by Owens Corning, CertainTeed, and Atlas. Each type fits different priorities, and we can help you think through the choice without pushing you toward the most expensive option.

3-Tab Shingles
Flat and uniform in profile, 3-tab shingles offer reliable protection at the lowest cost point. They work well for homeowners who need a functional, straightforward solution within a tighter budget.

Architectural Shingles
Thicker and dimensional, architectural shingles provide better wind resistance, longer manufacturer warranties, and greater visual depth. They’re a popular choice for West Michigan homes precisely because of the wind-uplift and freeze-thaw demands the climate places on a roof.

Both types come in a wide range of colors and styles. Algae-resistant options are also worth considering given Michigan’s humid summers, which can promote roof discoloration over time. Whatever direction you go, we’ll match the product to your home, your budget, and Kent County’s climate.

Our FAQ

How does metal roofing handle snow and ice?

Metal’s smooth surface enables snow to slide off more easily than other materials, preventing damaging ice dams. Additionally, many metal roofing systems can be outfitted with snow retention systems when necessary.
Is it possible to install a metal roof over my current roofing system?

Indeed, metal roofing’s lightweight nature could allow installation directly over existing asphalt shingles, which helps avoid tear-off costs and reduces waste. Our team will assess your situation to gauge the feasibility of this option.
Are metal roofs noisy during rainstorms?

This misconception is widespread. Modern metal roofs have insulation and underlayment that significantly dampen noise. When installed correctly, they do not create more noise than other roofing materials in the rain.
