Metal Roof Repair, Leaks & Screw Replacement in Grand Rapids
Metal roofs leak for predictable reasons, and most failures we see in Grand Rapids involve exposed-fastener systems installed 15 to 30 years ago. The number one cause is fastener back-out: EPDM sealing washers dry, shrink, and crack, allowing water to slip past the screw head. Thermal movement can separate standing seams, and failed pipe boots or flashing at chimneys, skylights, and valleys let water in during heavy rain or ice damming. Wind-lifted panels after a straight-line storm and punctures from fallen limbs are also common. If ignored, water travels along purlins and decking far from the entry point, rotting sheathing and saturating insulation.
We start with a thorough Metal Roof Leak Repair assessment to find the true source. Often, a full Screw Replacement & Re-Fastening with new sealing washers restores a watertight roof for a fraction of replacement cost. When seams or flashing are the culprit, we repair those specific details. We will tell you plainly if a repair makes sense or if replacement is the better investment.
For urgent leaks, call (616) 254-0604. We serve Grand Rapids and surrounding areas with honest, local metal roof repair.
Metal Roofing Systems We Install in Grand Rapids
We install and service every major metal roofing system. Standing Seam Metal Roofing is the premium choice: concealed clips, no exposed fasteners, and clean lines that suit both historic and modern homes. Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing is the economical workhorse for barns, workshops, and cabins. Metal Shingle Roofing and Stone-Coated Steel Roofing offer traditional looks with metal durability, while Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing adds character to porches and accents.
Honest comparison: standing seam costs more upfront but has no exposed screws to maintain. Screw-down panels cost less and require fastener service over their lifespan. When the deck is sound, Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) can save on tear-off costs; when it is not, a full tear-off is the right call. We help you choose based on your home, budget, and long-term plans.

Storm Damage, Insurance Claims & Permits in Grand Rapids
After a storm, we inspect your roof and provide written documentation with photos that you may submit to your own insurer. We are not an insurance adjuster or agent, and coverage decisions rest with your carrier. We make no promise that a claim will be approved. We also do not offer to waive, absorb, or pay deductibles, and we never suggest that insurance will cover your project at no cost to you.
Regarding permits: in most jurisdictions, a permit is commonly required for a full replacement, but requirements vary by city. Historic district or HOA design review can affect panel profile and color choices. Requirements vary, always verify with the Grand Rapids building or planning department before starting your project.
