Suttons Bay Area Roofing

Leelanau County

Roofing along the Leelanau Peninsula

Suttons Bay is about 15 miles north of Traverse City along M-22, and our crews work the Leelanau Peninsula all season long. Between the waterfront homes on the West Arm of Grand Traverse Bay, the wineries and orchards along the peninsula's ridge, and the year-round homes in the village, there's always work happening up here.

The Leelanau Peninsula is wind-exposed from every direction, with Lake Michigan on one side and Grand Traverse Bay on the other. Homes along M-22, especially those with water views, take sustained winds that stress fastening systems and flashing details. We spec upgraded underlayments and wind-rated materials for exposed properties, and we've seen firsthand what happens to roofs that were installed to minimum code.

Many Leelanau properties are high-end waterfront homes, second homes, or vineyard/winery buildings with architectural guidelines to match. We work with homeowners, builders, and HOAs to make sure new roofs meet aesthetic standards while still delivering the performance the climate demands.

Winery, vineyard, and commercial roofing

The Leelanau Peninsula has one of Michigan's highest concentrations of wineries and tasting rooms, and we've installed roofs on a number of them. Commercial metal roofs are popular for their longevity and clean look, but we also handle shingle and flat roofing systems on barn-style wineries and accessory buildings.

For agricultural properties, pole barns, and equipment storage buildings throughout the peninsula, corrugated and standing seam metal are our go-to systems. We scope jobs to work around the growing season so roofing work doesn't interfere with harvest or tasting-room operations.
