1077 W West Branch Rd, Prudenville“R Factor of the North is an excellent roofing contractor. We had shopped several different roofers and R Factor provided the best quote for the roofing material and services to be provided. They came highly recommended by our now-retired remodeling contractor who has done several projects for us. He still uses R Factor for his own buildings.
The on-site crew was excellent. They cleaned up the property every evening before they left for the day and I never found so much as a nail after they left (it helps that they use a big rolling magnet). The crew would take time to explain to us what they were doing and what was wrong with the current roof (part of one roof had dimensional shingles that had been installed in the wrong pattern). Another part of the structure had sheathing boards that were over 100 years old; some boards had damage that they quickly fixed at no extra cost. They also made sure that my weather station and weather vane were reinstalled in the proper orientation. If they left at the end of the day and a section of roof wasn’t completed, they would tarp the unfinished section to avoid any damage if rain should occur, even when precipitation wasn’t forecast.
In all fairness, three of the four workers were the offspring of the company owners, so they knew their family reputation was at stake. To counter a different review, I never saw anyone even smoke a cigarette during the entire week they were on site. They worked steadily and took appropriate breaks.
The owners were excellent, also. Ted and Trisha were very good at explaining what needed to be done and in helping pick appropriate colors. Before the project started we decided to change the drip edge color; Ted made a special trip out with samples to make sure we had the proper color. There was good communication throughout the project. We had a quick response for our request for a bid. If we had questions and they were not immediately available, they would return our call promptly.
I highly recommend R Factor of the North and would definitely use them for future projects.
Finally, if you are concerned about some of the older, negative reviews, know that those reviews reflect the previous owner. Ted and Trisha purchased the business in January 2022; reviews before that date should be taken with a grain of salt.“

4367 Wilderness Trail, Grayling“Chad has been checking our roof for years now after storms, and for 4 years he’s said “your roof looks fine” which was bewildering to me because I’ve heard stories of roofers lying especially after a storm to get business, because of his consistent Honesty when we finally did need a roof I knew I’d be calling him. He answered every question promptly, he was clear and polite and helpful. When we finally got scheduled scheduling lady was awesome gave me all the info I needed. The roofers showed up and got to work, they were here at 7AM and gone by noon.“

“Friendly employees. Good prices. I had a hack contractor work on my garage. When it was time to get the metal roof materials, he couldn't get them. (Probably due to him screwing last supplier. He's now bankrupt) I was able to purchase the materials here, a lot cheaper than I thought. His crappy work leaked at my cupola, and a piece blew off. Trent came out to give me an estimate, on a Friday. When I explained my story to him, he said he had a general idea, but he would need to come back Monday, with help, to get measurements of the cupola. ( my garage is 54 ft wide, and 25 ft high) When he came back Monday, he temporarily attached the bent piece, so I wouldn't have a leak there, until they actually do the job. I hadn't even signed any paperwork yet. I have now. I highly recommend this company.“
