Multi-Family Roofing in Newberry, MI

Housing that works hard in Luce County

Newberry's rental and multi-family stock is a mix you don't see everywhere: converted lumber-era houses split into duplexes and flats, small apartment buildings serving families connected to the correctional facility and the hospital, and senior housing that keeps long-time residents in the county. For the owners and boards responsible for these buildings, the roof is the one component that protects every unit at once, and in a place that regularly clears 120 inches of snow, deferring it is the most expensive decision on the maintenance list. One membrane failure or one ice dam over a top-floor unit turns into drywall, insulation, and tenant complaints across multiple leases.

Multi-family roofs here also fail differently than single homes. Larger footprints mean longer valleys and more dead spots where drifting snow accumulates. Buildings converted from big old houses often have complicated rooflines with additions meeting at odd angles, and every one of those transitions is an ice dam waiting to happen. Our proposals treat each roof plane and transition explicitly, because on a multi-family building the detail work is where the next ten years of maintenance costs get decided.

Numbers a landlord or housing board can defend

Whether you own a duplex on a side street off Newberry Avenue or sit on the board of a housing commission, you need a roof price you can justify and compare. We deliver an itemized proposal from satellite measurement: every material at manufacturer cost from GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, TAMKO, Atlas, or IKO, zero retail markup, labor, one flat coordination fee, and Luce County permit costs included. No sales meetings to sit through, and the quote usually lands in about 30 minutes. If eligible materials go unused, the refund comes back to the property owner. For owners managing several buildings, the same process scales: quote each address from your desk before committing to anything.

Before installation, a third-party Axium attic inspection evaluates ventilation and insulation. On multi-family conversions this step earns its keep, because decades of piecemeal renovations often leave attic spaces chopped up and poorly vented, which is why upper units get ice dams and complaints every February. Fixing the roof without knowing that guarantees a repeat. Fixing both ends it.

Tenant-aware installation, on a real schedule

Installation typically happens within 7 to 10 days of approval, and we plan it around occupied units: advance notice for tenants, protected entries and walkways, staged tear-off so no section is open overnight, and daily cleanup with magnetic sweeps for nails around parking areas and play spaces. Crews mobilize from our Manistique-area base about 45 miles away, run by Okler Roofing, family-owned since 1969.
