We install roofs. That is all we do.
Northline Roofing works out of 4808 Broadmoor Ave SE in Grand Rapids. Our crews install roofs on homes across the city and Kent County. We do not fix gutters, paint siding, or chase small leaks. Focus keeps our work tight.
A roof is the biggest single repair on most houses. It deserves a team that does it every week. Our crews know how Grand Rapids homes go together. That includes 1900s plank decking in Heritage Hill and modern trusses in Kentwood.
Why we built the company around installation
Roofs fail in this part of Michigan for a few clear reasons. Heavy snow loads strain weak decking. Ice dams push meltwater under shingles. Poor attic airflow cooks roofing from below. Rushed flashing leaks at chimneys and walls.
We plan each job around those four problems. That means checking the deck, the attic, and every penetration before we write a price. It also means we explain what we find in plain words.
How we run a job
We measure first
Every quote starts on your roof, not on a satellite map. We check pitch, layers, vents, and flashing.
We write it down
You get a printed quote. It splits material, labor, tear-off, and deck repair so you can compare it with others.
We protect your property
Tarps cover plants and walks. A dumpster catches debris. Magnets sweep nails from the lawn.
We walk the job with you
At the end, we review the work together. You see the vents, the flashing, and the cleanup.
What we install
We install asphalt shingle roofs, metal roofs, and cedar and slate roofs. We also roof new construction and tie in additions and dormers. Each material has its own page, with costs and trade-offs.
What you can expect from our crews
- A call back from a real person on the same business day.
- A start window and a plan for the day, before we arrive.
- Photos of problems we find under the old roof.
- A clear price before any added work.
- A cleaned yard and a final walk-through.
How we price
We price roofs by what they need. That means roof area, pitch, layers, deck condition, and your material choice. We do not use pressure tactics or short-term discounts. Our cost guide shows our reasoning and the sources behind it.
