Why Grand Rapids Homeowners Call Lyster
A family-owned Michigan roofer who treats your home like it belongs to a neighbor.
Family-Owned, Not a National Chain
Matt Lyster started this company in 1998, and a Lyster still runs every crew. When you call, you get a local Michigan roofer — not a call center handing your job to a rotating subcontractor.
Honest Estimates, Real Numbers
Our representatives tell you what your roof actually needs — not what earns the biggest commission. If a repair beats a replacement, we say so. If the roof is done, we show you the proof.
Financing Available
Approved credit gets you low monthly payments on a full roof replacement. Ask your representative about our financing options during your inspection — it’s a quick conversation, no credit pull required up front.
What We Do for Grand Rapids Homes
Full roofing services from a single Michigan contractor — so your project doesn’t get passed between crews.
Complete Roof Replacement
When your roof is at the end of its life, a full tear-off and replacement is the right call — and we make it simple. Architectural shingles, full underlayment, ice & water shield where Michigan code requires, and a thorough clean-up before we leave. Most single-family homes finish in one to two days.
Roof Repair & Storm Damage
Missing shingles after a Lake Michigan windstorm? Leak from an ice dam in February? A hail event you need documented for insurance? We handle targeted roof repair across the Grand Rapids area and walk homeowners through the insurance claim process when storm damage is involved — from the first photo to the final inspection.
How It Works — Four Simple Steps
A clear path from first call to finished roof. No surprises, no runaround.
Book Your Inspection
Fill out the form or call us. We schedule your free roof inspection at a time that works for your household.
On-Site Assessment
A representative comes out, gets on the roof, and documents exactly what’s happening — with photos so you can see it yourself.
Written Estimate
A clear written quote with material options, timeline, warranty, and financing if you want it. No pressure, no “sign today” gimmicks.
Installation Done Right
When you’re ready, our in-house crew handles the job start to finish, cleans up the site, and stands behind the work with a real workmanship warranty.
Built for Michigan Weather
Grand Rapids homes take a beating most roofing contractors don’t fully plan for — lake-effect snow loads, mid-winter ice dam cycles, and wind events rolling off Lake Michigan through the spring. We’ve been roofing in this climate for 25+ years, and every roof we install is specified for it: high-wind shingles, full ice & water shield at eaves and valleys, proper attic ventilation to prevent ice dams, and flashing details that hold up through freeze-thaw season after season.
Ask your representative about our ice-dam prevention approach during your free inspection — it’s one of the most common failure points we see on older Grand Rapids roofs.
A New Roof Doesn’t Have to Wait
With approved credit, you can finance your full roof replacement with affordable monthly payments — so a failing roof gets handled now, not after the next storm. Ask about our financing options during your free estimate.
What Real Lyster Customers Say
4.8 stars across 200+ verified Google reviews from Southwest Michigan homeowners.
“The quality of craftsmanship is superior. They did an excellent job cleaning up. They do all the extra steps to ensure things are tight and right, and their product and workmanship has a very generous written warranty. Save yourself some time and go straight to Lyster.”
“This is probably the 3rd project I’ve done with this company and they have NEVER let me down. Highly recommend for quality of workmanship, people and professionalism.”
“The roofing crew was very polite and did an outstanding job despite a small rain delay. My roof was completed in one day and my yard was cleaned up pristinely. The salesman then arrived the day after my install to ensure the roof was to my liking and satisfaction.”
Questions Grand Rapids Homeowners Ask
Is the roof inspection really free?
Yes — no strings, no “while we’re here” upsells. Our representative comes out, gets on the roof, documents condition with photos, and either recommends a path forward or tells you the roof still has life. You decide what happens next.
How much does a new roof cost in Grand Rapids?
It depends on square footage, pitch, materials, and whether a full tear-off is required. A typical single-family replacement in the Grand Rapids area usually lands between $9,000 and $18,000, but we don’t guess — we give you a written quote with real numbers after the inspection.
Do you handle storm damage insurance claims?
Yes. We’ve walked hundreds of Michigan homeowners through wind, hail, and storm damage claims. We document the damage, meet your adjuster on site when needed, and make sure nothing covered gets left out of the scope.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes are done in one to two days from tear-off to final clean-up. Larger or more complex roofs may take a day longer. Weather can shift the start date, but the installation itself is fast.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — fully licensed in the State of Michigan and carrying liability and workers’ comp coverage on every job. We’re happy to show proof of insurance before we set foot on your property.
Do you service all of Grand Rapids?
We cover the entire Grand Rapids metro and surrounding Kent County communities — East Grand Rapids, Kentwood, Wyoming, Cascade, Forest Hills, Rockford, Caledonia, and Ada included. If you’re in the area, we can get a representative out.
