Waterford homeowners are no strangers to Michigan’s unpredictable weather—and your home’s exterior feels every bit of it. If you’re thinking about new siding, it pays to work with experts who understand the local climate and can recommend materials that stand strong 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 understand what your home is up against. That’s why our expert siding installation is built to withstand Michigan’s harshest weather—while keeping your home looking great year after year.
We serve Waterford from our Novi office at 43000 W 9 Mile Rd, about 25 minutes south through Oakland County's lakes. Waterford is part of the same western-lakes area we work constantly, so your siding project gets scheduled like local work: a quick estimate, a start date that holds, and an easy trip back if a panel or trim piece needs a look after the job. Every exterior we install comes with a 50-year warranty, backed by more than 30 years of work and over 6,000 Michigan homes served across the region.
Waterford started in 1819, when settlers built the first farm and sawmill where the Clinton River crossed the Saginaw Trail, today's Dixie Highway. For a century it stayed small. Then it exploded. The township grew from about 24,000 people in 1950 to more than 70,000 today, most of that in the postwar decades, as families filled in the shorelines of Waterford's 35 lakes and the subdivisions between them.
That timing left a clear mark on the housing. Much of Waterford is postwar and 1960s-70s homes, along with former lake cottages that were winterized into year-round houses. Neighborhoods like Drayton Plains, Clintonville, and the Elizabeth Lake and Watkins Lake areas each grew around their own shoreline, so the housing stock is dense, varied, and mostly built in the same few decades. It's a practical, middle-class lake community, and a lot of those homes are still wearing siding that's decades past its prime.
When a township builds out that fast, the siding ages in waves. Across Waterford you'll see postwar and 60s-70s homes whose original siding is faded, brittle, and cracking, often on whole streets at once. Michigan's freeze-thaw winters speed that up, working open seams and caulk joints until water finds its way behind the wall.
The lakes add moisture to the mix. With 35 of them, most Waterford homes sit near water, and that humidity keeps siding and shaded walls damp longer than they'd be in a drier township. We help homeowners get durable protection without overspending, walking you honestly through where good vinyl makes sense and where a step up to James Hardie fiber cement is worth it. When a storm tears siding loose, we can also document the damage to support an insurance claim.
On the former cottages, we also unify the patchwork siding that additions left behind, so a home that grew piece by piece finally reads as one.
We find where water is actually getting in, replace the failed siding, reflash the trouble spots, and set the new wall to handle Waterford's lake humidity and hard winters.
Because our crews run out of the nearby Novi office, we're through Waterford's lake neighborhoods and subdivisions regularly, from Drayton Plains and Clintonville over to the Elizabeth Lake area. Word travels between neighbors here, so we do right by every home, keep the site clean, and stand behind the siding we install on every Waterford home.

Yes. Waterford is about 25 minutes north of our Novi office and sits in the same western-lakes area of Oakland County we work all the time. We schedule Waterford siding jobs as routine local work, with real estimates, dependable start dates, and easy follow-up if something needs a second look.
It’s usually worth a serious look. Waterford grew from about 24,000 people in 1950 to over 70,000, so much of the township is postwar and 1960s-70s housing, and that original siding is often faded, brittle, and letting water reach the walls. Replacing it with modern siding over a proper weather barrier protects the home far better and updates a dated exterior. We’ll assess yours and tell you honestly whether a repair still holds or replacement makes more sense.
Waterford is a practical, value-minded community, and we treat it that way. For many homes, a quality vinyl with good insulation behind it delivers solid protection at a reasonable cost, while James Hardie fiber cement is the step up where you want maximum durability and curb appeal. We lay out both honestly, with real numbers, so you can pick what fits your home and your budget rather than being upsold.
They do over time. Repeated freezing and thawing works on caulk joints, seams, and already-brittle panels, opening gaps that let wind-driven snowmelt behind the siding. On older Waterford homes we often find that winter damage is what finally let moisture into the sheathing. We seal and flash the vulnerable spots and install siding rated to handle the cold so the wall stays tight through the season.
Yes. When wind or hail tears siding loose on a Waterford home, we can inspect the exterior, document the damage with photos, and provide the detail your insurer needs for a claim. We’ll make the wall watertight quickly so it doesn’t take on more damage, then handle the full repair or replacement once the claim is sorted.
It can. With 35 lakes in the township, even homes that aren’t waterfront sit in more ambient humidity than a drier area, which keeps siding and shaded walls damp longer and encourages mildew along seams. We take that into account, treat any growth, and set up the new siding and flashing to breathe and shed moisture so it holds up in Waterford’s lake-heavy climate.
