"Long overdue review... I needed a roof replacement in the UP for 5000 sq. ft of roof. These guys drove over to do the work. Incredible service! The workmanship is supreme. No problems or issues at all. I love the way it looks and it made it through it's first UP winter splendidly. When a company makes it super easy for you, that is a differentiator!"

"Kevin put together a proposal to install seamless gutters. We have a two story home, so Kevin was more than happy to separate each section/story of the house with the price, and presented different options for screens or toppers. We are surrounded by lots of tall maples, so leaves/seeds are definitely a concern for us, especially on the second story where gutter cleaning is more difficult. In the days following, I spoke with Kevin at length on the phone about the different screen/topper options, and I felt he really wanted to provide the best solution for the lowest cost possible (i.e. I never felt like he was trying to "sell us"). We decided on open gutters for the first story (easier to clean the first story gutters) and LeafX toppers for the second story. We can always add screens or toppers later if we think they are needed.
Install: Kevin scheduled the install date. Installer(s) arrived as agreed and finished the install on time. No construction debris left behind. Rained that night (true story). Nice quality job...gutters and downspouts appear solidly installed and work great. No more water ponding on our flower beds or pouring off the roof at the front door.

"I would like to thank Michael Gentz and his Liquid Construction crew for the wonderful job they did on re-roofing my home. I purchased a 20 year old home in Gaylord area 8 months ago knowing there was a problem with “shingle slippage” in an area on the roof. Last fall I contacted a well known local roofing company and received an estimate/quote which i laughed at and threw out. About a month ago i called another local company twice and left a message, I am still waiting on a call back! Seen an ad in local shopping paper from Liquid Construction and gave them a call. Next day Ray came out and gave me three quotes: one for repair of “shingle slippage” area, one for re-roofing of front half side of house where “shingle slippage” had occurred, and a third estimate for complete home and garage (approximately 3,000 square feet total). I did some quick research on approximate cost for re-roofing and he was right in the range. I researched material and shingles they were going to be using to replace: high quality/premium roofing system and quality/premium shingles and supplies. Ray came out next day and I signed contract giving half payment down. Two days later the shingles and roofing supplies arrived. Two days later at 10:00 am a crew of three from Liquid Construction arrived and worked until 9:00 pm, removing existing shingles and underlayment and replacing underlayment and started on re-shingling. The crew arrived first thing the next day at 8:00 am and worked until completion of project at about 5 pm. The crew cleaned up the area and one would be hard pressed to know they were even there! They even blew the leaves and sand out from inside my garage!!! My wife even asked me if I had cleaned it! The crew did an incredible job and have a lot of respect and admiration for the work/time/and energy they put into my roof! Google them, request a quote and then research the roofing system and material/shingles they use….all high quality. Ohhhhhh, and now that I have fully paid Liquid Construction I can say that the quote they gave me was at LEAST 40% LESS than the first quote I received last fall from the other well known roofing company!!!!!!!! Once again I would like to thank Michael Gentz and his crew for the incredible work they performed and would not hesitate to recommend them."

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in Merritt, MI

Cedar shakes and wood shingles might seem similar, but they have some important differences. Cedar shakes are hand-split, giving them a unique, textured appearance that adds rustic charm to your roof. They're great for homeowners who want a distinctive look. Wood shingles, conversely, are machine-made, providing a smooth, uniform appearance for a more modern look. Shakes tend to be more expensive due to the craftsmanship involved but offer exceptional beauty and resilience.

A well-maintained cedar shake roof can last up to 60 years. However, factors like severe weather and improper ventilation can reduce its lifespan. You should consider replacing your roof if you notice persistent leaks, visible water damage, curling or splitting shakes, moss growth, rot, or missing shakes. Regular inspections can help you determine when it's time for a replacement.

When hiring a roofing contractor for your cedar shake roof, asking the right questions is important. Make sure they are fully certified and have extensive experience with cedar installations. Verify that their team is licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask for details about the materials they use, such as the type of underlayment and fasteners, and how they ensure proper ventilation. Getting multiple written estimates can help you compare options and choose a contractor who offers quality workmanship at a fair price.
