Roofing for Cedar and Leelanau wine country

Cedar sits in the middle of Leelanau County wine country, surrounded by vineyards, orchards, and the quiet rural character that draws people north in the first place. The roofing work here is unusually varied because the properties are. There are year-round residential homes along M-72, vineyard estates with large residences and support buildings, working orchards with barns and equipment outbuildings, and seasonal cottages tucked into the woods between Cedar and the Lake Michigan shoreline. Bill Smith Roofing has been handling all of it for over 30 years.

The weather around Cedar is shaped by both the lake and the open rolling terrain. Lake Michigan is close enough that late-season wind events arrive with real force, especially on the open west-facing slopes where vineyards sit. Winter brings serious snow accumulation and the freeze-thaw pattern that produces ice dams on north-facing eaves. Combined with the way the wind sweeps across the rolling farmland between Cedar and Maple City, there is real pressure on any roof that is not well installed.

For wineries, vineyard estates, and farms, we roof the main buildings and the supporting outbuildings to the same standard. A tasting-room roof needs the same careful flashing and fastening as the house, and a barn or equipment outbuilding deserves the same tear-off-and-check approach rather than a shingle-over patch. We walk the properties with you, show you what we find, and give one written estimate for the whole scope.

Serving Cedar and the Leelanau County communities out to Maple City, Lake Leelanau, Glen Arbor, Suttons Bay, and Empire, we handle asphalt shingle installation, repair, cottage and vineyard work, and storm damage restoration across the peninsula.
