How far we travel
Middlebury is the closest town to our shop, Elkhart is one of the shortest drives we make, and Kalamazoo is about 50 minutes north. Now and then the reason to go is the person rather than the job: a homeowner in Niles wrote in her review that, after other companies told her no, our crew came the next day to clear a heavy snow load off her roof.
Every residential page links to residential roofing, and every commercial page to commercial roofing, where the services and prices are set out in full.
