Replacing your gutters is never something homeowners like to do, but if they’ve become too old or damaged to repair, that may be your only

White Lake homeowners are no strangers to Michigan’s unpredictable weather—and your home’s exterior feels the impact year-round. If you’re considering new siding, it’s a smart move to work with experts who know the local conditions and can recommend materials that hold up season after season.
Investing in quality siding installation does more than boost your home’s curb appeal, it gives you long-term protection. From hot summer days to bitter winter nights, your home faces wind, rain, and nonstop temperature swings.
At Schoenherr Roofing, we know the challenges Michigan weather brings. That’s why our siding installation is designed to stand up to the toughest conditions—while keeping your home looking sharp for years to come.
White Lake Township sits up in northwest Oakland County's lakes, and we cover it from our Novi office at 43000 W 9 Mile Rd, about a 25-minute run south. Plenty of White Lake homeowners get told a good siding crew won't come this far out into lake country, but we're up here regularly and schedule White Lake jobs like the local work they are. That means a real estimate without a long wait, a start date that holds, and an easy trip back if something needs a second look. Every exterior we install carries a 50-year warranty, backed by more than 30 years and over 6,000 Michigan homes.
White Lake takes its name from the clear glacial lake at its center, and water defines the whole township. Nearly a third of its 37 square miles is open space, with 21 lakes, more than 6,000 acres of parks, and recreation areas like Pontiac Lake, Highland, and Indian Springs woven through it.
That geography shaped the housing. A lot of White Lake started as lake cottages and resort places along shorelines like White, Cooley, and Cedar Island Lakes. Many of those cottages were later winterized, added onto, and turned into full-time homes, while newer lakefront and wooded-lot subdivisions filled in around them through the M-59 corridor's growth. The result is a real mix of siding ages, materials, and additions, often on the same street and sometimes on the same house.
Living on the water is hard on an exterior. Lakefront walls take constant humidity and wind-driven rain off open, all-sports lakes, and that moisture works on siding seams and the sheathing behind them. Shaded, wooded lots on the back sides of these properties stay damp long enough that the north walls hold moisture well into the day. And on the older cottage conversions, you'll often find patchwork siding where additions never quite matched the original.
We tackle all of it. On a former cottage, we can unify a mismatched exterior into one clean look. On lakefront walls, we favor durable materials like James Hardie fiber cement that stand up to the water-and-wind cycle better than tired vinyl, and we can add insulation under the new siding to make an older, drafty lake home more comfortable. Wooded lots bring their own problem too: a falling limb can crack or tear siding, and we repair that damage and close the wall back up.
We start by finding where water is actually getting in, then replace the failed siding and reflash the trouble spots so the new exterior sheds water the way it should. On a lakefront property, getting the water-facing wall right is what protects the whole home from water damage.
Because our crews come from the Novi office and work White Lake's lakes and subdivisions regularly, we know the conditions out here. In a community where neighbors talk and reputations stick, we treat your home and your shoreline with care, keep the site clean, and stand behind every wall we finish.

We serve it. White Lake is about a 25-minute drive north of our Novi office, and we’re up in this part of Oakland County regularly. Homeowners out here are often told a good siding crew won’t come this far into lake country, but we schedule White Lake work as routine local jobs, with real estimates and start dates that hold.
Yes, and it’s common out here. A lot of White Lake homes began as lake cottages that were winterized and expanded, leaving patchwork siding where additions never matched the original. We can re-side the whole exterior in one consistent material and color so the house reads as one home instead of several projects stitched together.
It can, especially on the water-facing walls. Open, all-sports lakes give wind a long run at your exterior, driving rain into seams and lifting panels that are already brittle. After a blow we check the lakeside walls first for loose or cracked siding and damaged trim, then close the wall up and repair or replace what the wind got to.
For the water-facing side of a lakefront home, we usually steer homeowners toward James Hardie fiber cement. It handles the steady humidity, sun, and wind-driven rain off the lake far better than aging vinyl and holds its finish for years. We’ll assess your specific exposure and can mix materials so the hardest-hit walls get the most durable product.
Often, yes. Many of White Lake’s converted cottages and older lake homes are drafty because they were never built for year-round living. When we re-side, we can add a weather-resistant barrier and insulation under the new siding, which helps steady indoor temperatures and can trim energy bills through the cold months out here.
Yes. Wooded lots around White Lake’s lakes drop limbs that crack and tear siding, and we handle those repairs. We match the existing siding as closely as possible on a partial fix, make sure the wall behind it is dry and sound, and reflash and reseal so the repaired section keeps water out as well as the rest of the wall.
