Kaysner Construction Inc

The Upper Peninsula plays by different rules. Sault Ste. Marie sees winters that would overwhelm contractors from anywhere else in Michigan. Kaysner Construction has served Chippewa County through those conditions for years, understanding exactly what it takes to build roofs that survive. Snow loads here aren't a consideration: they're the primary design constraint. Accumulation measured in feet, not inches. Roofs must handle weight that would collapse structures built to southern standards. Ice dams form when any heat escapes through attics into air that stays below freezing for months at a time. The construction focus extends beyond roofing to complete building services, but roofing expertise in this climate requires specialized knowledge. Metal systems dominate commercial work for their ability to shed snow loads. Residential metal roofing has grown as homeowners recognize the advantages for UP conditions. Shingle installations require load-rated specifications and ice protection that extends well beyond code minimums written for temperate climates. Proper installation in the UP means understanding how materials behave in extreme cold. Shingles don't seal properly when installed at low temperatures without special techniques. Flashing materials must accommodate more expansion and contraction than southern installations ever face. Kaysner brings generations of UP experience to every project. Customers in Sault Ste. Marie and throughout Chippewa County trust local knowledge no downstate contractor can match.
