Serving Pickford and Chippewa County

Pickford calls itself the gateway between the Soo and the Les Cheneaux shoreline, a farm-and-timber village on M-129 where the Munuscong River winds through southern Chippewa County. The town center still has its early-1900s brick blocks, and the surrounding township is a mix of working farms, hunting camps, and family homes that have been handed down more than once. It's about 23 miles from Sault Ste. Marie, far enough that some contractors quietly charge a trip premium, close enough that none of them should.

Roofs in Pickford deal with a double climate load. Snow off the eastern UP piles deep and stays late, and the low-lying ground near the Munuscong drainage keeps spring humidity high, which is hard on decking and fascia when ventilation is poor. The village's older two-story homes often carry decades-old shingles over plank decking, and the surrounding farm properties add machine sheds and pole barns to the list. When we quote a Pickford roof, the satellite measurement picks up every structure and slope, so you can price the house alone or the whole yard at once.

SkyeVantage of the Upper Peninsula runs on a simple idea: the roofing was never the hard part, the buying process was. So we removed it. No salesperson visits Pickford, ever. You type in your address, satellite imagery measures the roof, and an itemized proposal lands in about 30 minutes with materials at manufacturer cost, zero retail markup, and one flat coordination fee. The company behind it, Okler Roofing, has been at it since 1969 out of Kingsford, and stands behind installs with 40 to 50 year manufacturer warranties plus 5-year workmanship coverage.

Local Accountability

Owned by Ryan Okler — Okler Roofing, family-owned in the UP since 1969.

Local Owner. Real Coverage in Chippewa County.

Pickford sits well inside our eastern UP service zone, roughly a 30-minute drive down M-129 from Sault Ste. Marie, our nearest anchor city for crews working this corner of Chippewa County. County permitting, where it applies to your project, is handled by us and priced into the quote before you ever sign. An independent Axium attic inspection precedes every installation, and most full replacements are installed within 7 to 10 days of your go-ahead.

Roofing Questions from Pickford Homeowners

Is Pickford too far out for a roofing company to take seriously?

Not for us. The Soo is half an hour up M-129 and our whole model was built for spread-out UP towns: satellite measurement instead of a sales visit means distance never delays your quote, and crews mobilize once for the install rather than making repeated trips. You get the same pricing structure a homeowner in a bigger town gets.

My farmhouse has plank decking under old shingles. Is that a problem?

It can be, and it's exactly what the pre-install Axium attic inspection is for. An independent inspector documents the decking and ventilation before the crew arrives, so if boards need replacing, you know up front instead of getting a change order mid-tear-off. Sound plank decking, properly prepared, takes a new system fine.

Can you quote my house and pole barn together?

Yes. The satellite measurement captures every roof on the property, so we can itemize the house, the barn, and any outbuildings separately in one proposal. You decide which structures to do and in what order, with each priced on its own.

What does the flat coordination fee actually cover?

It covers the entire management of your project: scheduling, crew coordination, permit handling with Chippewa County where required, and quality oversight. It's one number, disclosed in the quote, instead of markup hidden inside every line item. Materials themselves are passed through at cost from GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, TAMKO, Atlas, or IKO.

How long does snow country like this let a shingle roof last?

Shorter than the package promises if ventilation is bad, which is common in older Pickford homes. Deep snow, late springs, and humid low ground near the river all accelerate wear. A properly ventilated full system installed today carries a 40 to 50 year manufacturer warranty, and fixing the attic airflow during replacement is what lets the roof actually reach that lifespan.
