Serving South Range and Houghton County
The string of towns along M-26 south of Houghton, South Range, Baltic, Trimountain, Painesdale, exists because of the Copper Range Company, and South Range was the commercial hub of that stretch. Today it's the biggest of the south range communities in Houghton County, with a main street of early-1900s buildings and neighborhoods of company-era homes: simple, solid two-story houses with steep roofs built to shed the Keweenaw's snow, many still on their original framing. When those roofs come due, the framing is usually fine. It's the decking, flashing, and decades of layered shingles that need honest attention.
South Range sits up on the spine of the peninsula rather than down by the water, and the elevation earns it some of the heaviest snow in the area, routinely 200 to 250 inches, with wind exposure that drifts snow deep against dormers and chimneys. Freeze-thaw cycling through April pries at every nail line. Our answer is a complete system with heavy ice and water coverage, balanced attic ventilation verified by an independent Axium inspection before install, and shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, or the other majors, supplied to you at manufacturer cost.
That at-cost part is the difference. SkyeVantage of the Upper Peninsula runs zero retail markup on materials and charges one flat coordination fee, with Okler Roofing, family-owned since 1969, doing the installation. You get a satellite-measured, fully itemized proposal about 30 minutes after entering your address, and if you go ahead, installation lands within 7 to 10 days.

Roofing Questions from South Range Homeowners
Are the old company houses in South Range worth reroofing properly? ＋
Absolutely. Copper Range Company homes were framed with full-dimension lumber that outclasses most modern framing. Put a correctly built system on one, extended ice barrier, sound decking, real ventilation, and it will outlast the shingle warranty. Our itemized proposal shows you exactly what the house needs and what each piece costs, so you're not guessing at what a lump-sum bid actually covers.
How many layers of shingles can you tear off, and does it change the price? ＋
We tear off everything down to the deck, and yes, extra layers mean extra labor and disposal, which appears as its own line in your proposal. Plenty of south range homes carry two or three layers. Satellite measurement plus your answers about the existing roof let us price the tear-off exactly instead of padding for surprises.
Does heavy snow country change what shingles you recommend? ＋
It changes the whole system. Up on the range we lean toward architectural shingles with high wind ratings, extended ice and water shield beyond code minimums, and ventilation balanced to keep the deck cold so snow doesn't melt and refreeze at the eaves. The Axium attic inspection before installation confirms the ventilation math on your specific house.
What does 'no salespeople' actually mean in practice? ＋
It means the estimate is generated from satellite measurement and published pricing, not from a commissioned rep sizing up your driveway. Nobody knocks on doors in South Range for us, nobody sits at your kitchen table for two hours, and the price doesn't move based on negotiation. Enter your address, read the itemized proposal, decide on your own time.
Who backs the warranty if something goes wrong in year three? ＋
Okler Roofing, the family company installing your roof, headquartered in Kingsford and operating since 1969. Workmanship is covered for 5 years, and the manufacturer warranty on a full system runs 40 to 50 years depending on the product line you choose.
