Roofing services in Portage
We install and repair asphalt shingle and stone-coated steel roofs across Portage — from Austin Lake and West Lake to Woodbridge Hills, Milham Park, and the subdivisions off Oakland Drive and Romence Road.
Roof Replacement
Tear-off down to the deck, soft decking replaced, ice & water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, then GAF architectural shingles or Westlake Royal stone-coated steel — installed to spec so the warranty actually holds. Most Portage homes finish in a single day.
Roof Repair
Missing shingles after a windstorm, a leak around the chimney, flashing pulled away, a sagging spot over the garage. We repair roofs, not just replace them — and we’ll tell you honestly which one yours needs.
Free Roof Inspections
Not sure what you need? We get on the roof, photograph what we find, and give you a plain-English report. If your roof has years left, we’ll tell you — and we’ll leave. No “while we’re here” upsell.
Storm & Wind Damage Repair
Portage knows storm damage. The EF-2 tornado on May 7, 2024 tore an 11-mile path through the city with 135 mph winds, and neighborhoods around 10th Street, R Avenue, and Timbercreek Court are still recovering. We still get calls from homeowners finding damage a year later — if you suspect wind or hail damage, we inspect for free, document it with photos, and walk you through the insurance claim.
Metal Shingle Roofing
Westlake Royal stone-coated steel looks like an architectural shingle from the street, carries a Class 4 impact rating — the highest there is — and can outlast two asphalt roofs. If you plan to stay in your Portage home a long time, ask us to price both options side by side.
Why Portage homeowners choose Patriot Exteriors
We’re actually in Portage
Our shop is on Shaver Road. Our crew lives here. Call 269-443-7200 and you’re talking to someone in Portage, not a call center.
Big-name certification, hometown price
GAF Master Elite is held by a small fraction of roofers nationwide, and we’ve earned the President’s Club award on top of it — the same shingle and warranty a three-office company sells, without the markup for their overhead.
No sales pitch
We don’t send a closer. The person who inspects your roof is the person who writes your quote, and the number doesn’t change if you take a week to think about it.
A crew you’ll see again
We’ve built our business on referrals in Portage, Schoolcraft, and Vicksburg. We’d rather do your neighbor’s roof next year than squeeze an extra thousand out of yours today.
What Portage weather does to a roof
Portage sits in the lake-effect snow belt. That matters for your roof in three specific ways.
Ice dams
Heavy snow on the roof, a warm attic underneath, freeze-thaw cycles all winter — water backs up under the shingles at the eaves and leaks into the wall. We install ice & water shield at the eaves on every roof and check attic ventilation during the inspection, because a poorly vented attic causes ice dams no matter how good the shingles are.
Wind
The 2024 tornado was the extreme case, but Portage gets 50–60 mph gusts several times a year. Shingles nailed high or on a hot day lose their seal. We nail to the manufacturer’s line, six nails per shingle in the field, and hand-seal exposed areas.
Freeze-thaw
Thirty-plus freeze-thaw cycles a winter open up every crack in old flashing and pipe boots. Those are the small repairs that prevent big ones — and they’re most of what we find on inspections.
Roof replacement cost in Portage, MI

What moves the number: roof size and pitch, how many layers come off, decking condition, chimneys and skylights, and the shingle you choose. What doesn’t move it: whether you sign today. Our quote is good for 30 daysverify.
Stone-coated steel
Westlake Royal stone-coated steel runs roughly this much more than asphalt — but should be the last roof you buy:

What Portage homeowners say
A sample of live Google reviews — full feed on our profile.
Patriot came out the day after the windstorm, tarped the bad spot, and had us scheduled within the week. Honest about what actually needed replacing.
Got quotes from three companies. Patriot’s was the clearest — no pressure, and the price on the paper was the price at the end.
Whole tear-off and reroof was done before dinner. Crew cleaned up the yard better than they found it.
