LaPorte County's Smart Choice For Roofing
Smart Choice Exteriors brings full-service exterior contracting to LaPorte County, Indiana — Michigan City, LaPorte, Westville, Wanatah, La Crosse and the lakefront communities in between. From century-old homes near downtown LaPorte to lakefront properties on Lake Michigan and Pine Lake, we install roofing, siding, gutters and windows built for this county's hard freeze-thaw winters.
Local expertise across every LaPorte County town line
LaPorte County catches the eastern edge of the lake-effect snow machine and is often the snowiest county in Northwest Indiana. Add lakefront wind and moisture in Michigan City, plus wide-open agricultural exposure in the south of the county, and you have three very different roofing environments inside one county line.
Michigan City, the City of LaPorte and LaPorte County's building department each permit separately. We handle filing and inspection, including the added detailing requirements common on older and historic-district properties.
What LaPorte County Roofs Are Up Against
Salt-free but relentless moisture and wind off Lake Michigan degrade fascia, soffit and gutter systems first. We spec aluminum and composite trim that won't rot out in five years.
We size ice-and-water coverage to real LaPorte County snow depth, not a generic minimum.
Board decking, multiple layers and undersized ventilation are common. We inspect the deck after tear-off and show you photos before we re-sheet.
Wanatah, Hanna and La Crosse properties need high wind-rated systems and reinforced edge metal.
