Roofing in Cedar Springs

A Lumber Town With More Than a Century of Growth

Cedar Springs was settled in 1851 by John and Lydia Smith, who built a sawmill and inn, and grew as a lumber town from 1856; the Michigan Legislature incorporated it as a village in March 1871, but it wasn't a city until October 1959.

Rooflines From Lumber-Era Through Mid-Century Construction

That long growth arc left Cedar Springs with roofing stock from several distinct eras -- 1850s-era lumber-town construction, early-1900s village growth, and the mid-century building that preceded its 1959 city incorporation -- each framed to its own decade's snow-load standard.
