The weather in mid-Michigan is tough on shingles. Blistering summer heat, lake-effect snow, and wind gusts rolling off the plains can shorten a roof’s life fast. When it is time for roofing Lansing Michigan residents turn to CountBricks because we combine local craftsmanship with next-generation AI estimating. The result is a roof that is designed, costed, and installed with surgical precision—no budget surprises, no timeline slip.
• Voice-driven data capture lets our project managers walk your property and build a live estimate in minutes
• Real-time material pricing pulls from Michigan distributors every 30 seconds, protecting you from price spikes
• Automated blueprint takeoffs convert your older paper drawings into exact shingle, underlayment, and fastener counts
• Instant what-if scenarios help you compare asphalt architectural shingles versus metal panels without re-measuring
The city’s housing stock ranges from 1920s Craftsman bungalows to new builds in Delta Township. Knowing which assembly suits each architecture—and each budget—is central to CountBricks’ process.
Asphalt Architectural Shingles
• Most common and cost-effective option
• Rated for 30-year lifespans when installed with proper attic ventilation
Metal Standing-Seam
• Higher upfront cost but 50-year performance
• Ideal for low-slope additions where shingles struggle
Designer Composite Shakes
• Mimic cedar aesthetics without rot risk
• Heavier profile requires rafter load verification—handled automatically by CountBricks structural calculations

Local codes require ice-and-water shield a full 24 inches inside the warm wall. Michigan State Sales Tax on materials currently sits at 6 %, and landfill fees recently rose to $48 per ton. Our software factors these in so there is no back-end invoice creep.
• Average tear-off disposal cost: $420 per 20-square roof
• Permit fee range: $110–$165 depending on township
• Winter installation surcharge: 5 % for propane warming and safety staging
Dynamic Waste Calculation—Instead of a fixed 10 % overage, CountBricks AI analyzes roof geometry and valley counts to dial waste as low as 7.2 %, saving bundles of shingles per job.
Real-Time Labor Index—Hourly installer rates fluctuate with seasonal demand. Our scheduling module locks in labor pricing the day you sign the proposal.
Supplier Proximity Mapping—The platform chooses the nearest supply yard to your zip code, cutting delivery fuel surcharges by up to 15 %.
How long does a typical CountBricks reroof take? Most Lansing tear-off and reshingles finish in 1–2 days; complex metal jobs may require 3.
Can I finance my roof? Yes. CountBricks partners with regional credit unions to offer 6-, 12-, and 18-month zero-interest plans.
What if my roof decking is damaged? Our drone scan locates soft spots ahead of time. Any sheathing replacement appears as a line item in your AI estimate, so you approve it before work begins.
A 1,400-square-foot bungalow on Kalamazoo Street needed storm damage replacement. CountBricks uploaded the homeowner’s insurance scope into our system, reconciled carrier pricing, and saved the client $1,250 in supplement negotiations. Installation finished eight hours ahead of schedule despite a midday thunderstorm, thanks to preloaded weather analytics in our crew calendar.

• Schedule in Spring or Fall—Material prices dip 3-5 % between peak seasons, and crews have fewer weather delays.
• Upgrade Ventilation—A $300 ridge-vent addition can extend shingle life by up to five years, offering the best dollar-for-longevity return.
• Bundle Gutters—CountBricks’ AI groups gutter replacement with roofing labor, eliminating a separate mobilization fee.
• Opt for Synthetic Underlayment—It weighs less, speeds installation, and enhances ice-dam resistance for Lansing winters.
• Activate the Client Portal—Real-time photos and milestone alerts keep you in control even if you are at work during install.
A homeowner wanted to replace 20-year-old shingles with standing-seam metal without removing existing decking. CountBricks scanned the structure, verified load capacity, and modeled clip spacing in software. The AI estimate showed a 12 % savings by reusing intact underlayment zones and scheduling material delivery directly from the Holt supplier yard. The project finished under budget and now boasts a 0.93 solar reflectance rating, cutting summer attic temps by 15 °F.
