The Roof Above It All
At Dave Murphy Builders, we know your roof is more than just shingles and panels — it’s your home’s first line of defense against Michigan’s unpredictable weather. That’s why our team offers a variety of roofing systems tailored to fit your style, budget, and performance needs. Whether you’re protecting a lakefront home or upgrading a downtown business, we’ve got you covered.
1. Asphalt Shingle Roofs
Asphalt shingles are a timeless favorite for Michigan homeowners — and for good reason. They’re durable, cost-effective, and available in dozens of colors and textures to match any exterior.
We install high-performance shingles from trusted brands like CertainTeed Landmark and Malarkey Vista, designed to handle high winds, heavy snow, and the occasional summer storm. Perfect for residential homes, asphalt shingles provide long-lasting protection with a classic curb appeal.
Best for: Traditional homes, homeowners wanting affordability + durability
Average lifespan: 20–30 years
Bonus: Easy maintenance and quick installation
2. Rubberized Asphalt Shingle Roofs
For homeowners who want added resilience, rubberized asphalt shingles take roofing to the next level. These shingles blend the flexibility of rubber with the reliability of asphalt, making them highly resistant to cracking, hail, and temperature changes.
They’re especially ideal for Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles — where standard shingles might expand and contract, rubberized ones stay strong and watertight.
Best for: Homes in high-wind or storm-prone areas
Average lifespan: 30–40 years
Bonus: Superior impact resistance + energy efficiency
3. Metal Roofs
Nothing stands up to the test of time quite like metal. Our standing seam and classic rib metal roofs are engineered for performance and built to last. Metal roofing not only adds a bold, modern look to your home but also reflects sunlight to keep interiors cooler and energy costs lower.
Plus, with ColorFit 40-year coatings, your roof stays vibrant and rust-free for decades.
Best for: Residential or commercial buildings, barns, and cottages
Average lifespan: 40–70 years
Bonus: Low maintenance + incredible longevity
4. Rubber Flat Roofs (EPDM Systems)
Flat or low-slope roofs require a special touch — and that’s where our EPDM rubber roofing systems shine. This durable, watertight material is perfect for garages, commercial buildings, porches, and additions.
Our crews expertly install each seam to ensure full protection against leaks, ponding water, and UV exposure — ideal for long-lasting performance with minimal upkeep.
Best for: Commercial buildings, porches, garages, and low-slope roofs
Average lifespan: 25–50 years
Bonus: Seamless waterproof barrier + easy repair options
