Serving Au Train and Alger County
Au Train curves along M-28 where the Au Train River empties into its namesake bay on Lake Superior, nine miles west of Munising in Alger County. It's a shoreline community in the fullest sense: beach cottages facing the big lake, year-round homes climbing the wooded rise behind the highway, and cabins ringing Au Train Lake a few miles inland. Superior dictates everything a roof endures here. The lake never really lets the snow machine rest, this shoreline sits in the heart of a belt that can see 150-plus inches, and northwest gales come across hundreds of miles of open water before they hit an Au Train eave. Shoreline exposure plus lake-effect volume is the toughest combination in eastern UP roofing.
SkyeVantage of the Upper Peninsula gives Au Train, MI an honest way to price that protection. Your address gets measured by satellite and a complete itemized proposal comes back the same day, in about 30 minutes, with materials priced at cost from GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, TAMKO, Atlas, and IKO, zero retail markup, and one flat coordination fee standing in for the usual mystery margin. No salespeople exist in this system, so nobody rings your doorbell or works your lakefront road. The installations are backed by Okler Roofing, family-owned in Kingsford since 1969 and voted Best Roofing Contractor 15 years by the community that knows the work.
Every project gets a third-party Axium attic inspection before installation, which matters enormously in lakefront buildings where wind-driven moisture finds its way into attics. Installs complete within 7 to 10 days of approval, full systems carry 40 to 50 year manufacturer warranties with 5-year workmanship coverage, and eligible unused materials come back to you as a refund. Whether it's the cottage on the bay or the cabin on Au Train Lake, a residential roof replacement here should start with a number you can see through.

Roofing Questions from Au Train Homeowners
What does Superior shoreline exposure do to a roof in Au Train? ＋
Two things at once: mechanical stress from sustained northwest wind off open water, and moisture stress from wind-driven snow and spray forced under anything not sealed properly. The answer is a complete system, high-wind fastening, sealed edges, full ice and water barrier, installed to spec, which is exactly what the 40 to 50 year manufacturer warranties require anyway.
Is a satellite quote accurate for a steep-pitched cottage roof near the bay? ＋
Yes. The measurement captures pitch, planes, valleys, and overhangs, and steep lakefront rooflines price accurately because the geometry is measured rather than eyeballed. You'll see each element itemized in the proposal that comes back the same day.
We only open the camp on Au Train Lake from May to October. When should the roof happen? ＋
Whenever suits you, since you don't need to be present. Many seasonal owners approve the itemized quote remotely in spring, have the install done inside its 7-to-10-day window while they're away, and arrive to a finished roof. The pre-install Axium inspection also documents attic condition, useful for a building that sits empty half the year.
Are permits and cleanup extras on top of the quote? ＋
No. Alger County permit coordination and applicable costs are inside the itemized number, and site cleanup is part of the coordination fee. The quote you approve is the complete price.
How does no retail markup actually work? ＋
Materials pass from the manufacturer to your project at cost, and you can see each line. Our compensation is the single flat coordination fee, printed plainly on the proposal. There's no percentage riding on top of your shingles, so a bigger materials bill never means a bigger profit for us.
