We had Burnette Home Improvement reroof our home that sustained damage from a hail storm. They started and completed the job which was a complete tear off on time and hauled all the old material off and did a great job on clean up. I would recommend Burnette Home Improvement and their employees to anyone in need of repairs on their home. I give Burenette and their employees 5 stars for a job well done. Joe FowlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Choosing a company to install a new roof on your home can be a daunting task. After meeting and getting estimates from four of the area's most respected companies, we went with Brunette Home Improvement -- and couldn't be happier! Everyone we met at Brunette was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to excellence. The roofing crew who did the actual tear-off and install were top-notch, and when they were gone you wouldn't have known they'd even been there --except for the beautiful new roof, that is. Special thanks to John Brunette for helping us every step along the way and going the extra mile to meet with the insurance rep assigned to evaluate our hail damage. All-in-all, a great experience and a happy ending. If you need a new roof, we unequivocally recommend Brunette!!!! Lorna LieskeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brunette put on a new roof for me. They painted our chimney vent so it matched the color of our roof and made sure the vents were the same color as well. The quality of construction was solid. Their staff was easily reachable for questions and responded back in a timely manner. Joe and John were great to work with. Highly recommend them. James deSpelderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with Brunette home improvement was outstanding. We used them to do major repairs to our exterior due to a storm (roof, siding, gutters, etc.). We had the pleasure of working with Zach and he exceeded our expectations with communication, timely responses, and scheduling. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! MollyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a tree fall on our house last August and needed a new roof and a bunch of other work done and John Brunette worked with us through the entire battle with our insurance and ensured that we were taken care of. Dan RiveraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company was suggested to us by our insurance agent after a hail storm damaged the siding and windows of our home. They work with the insurance adjuster and us for the best outcome. They were prompt and meticulous in their work. We were so pleased that when we decided to replace our sliding patio doors we called them again. The workers were friendly. No doubt we would call them again for any projects we may have in the future. Alice MartinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Brunette Home Improvement recently install a new roof that I’ve been longing to have done for over 10 years since we’ve lived here. Finally was able to make it happen and from the very beginning of having John stop over to look things over I knew this was the guy I wanted to do the job. What set him apart was his knowledge and even going above and beyond by pointing out and helping me understand an issue he immediately noticed with our chimney. Had he not done that, I would have some day had to do chimney work AFTER a brand new beautiful roof which would have tarnished the newness of it. John was helpful with providing a shingle color sample and understanding how to work with the insurance company. His team did a great job cleaning up afterwards as well. And to top it off he covered a couple issues I had with nails in my yard and driveway and his team came back again to go over my property again with a magnet. I’m super excited to get our house restored to looking like new. I need to do the siding some day and John has some great ideas for mid century modern. But, the wife says the kitchen has to come first. Thankfully Brunette Home Improvement is around because they will be my first choice to bid on that project. Thanks again Brunette Home Improvement! Adam GrostefonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fair price; Dependable; Excellent workmanship; Delivered as promised; Easy to work with. I have recommended Brunette to friends and will continue to do so. Steven Peters

FAQs
Which type of shingle is right for me?
When it comes to roofing systems, the technologies are constantly evolving. The market is filled with contractors pushing their own preferred options, which may not necessarily be the best options for your home.
That is not what we do at Brunette Home Improvement. We work closely with our clients and keep their best interests at heart.
What are my options?
A quality project is more than quality shingles. It is a system consisting of shingles, proper deck protection, ridge caps and a drip edge. We pledge to install the highest quality materials available within your budget. However, there is also lots of room for customization depending on your preferences.
How can you guarantee longevity?
We have a rule of ‘no stone unturned’. That means that our contractors will inspect your entire roof, including the attic, and make sure proper insulation is in place. Our installations also ensure your house’s ability to keep moisture out.
Did we mention that a 50-year non-prorated shingle warranty is available?
What color shingles are available?
Of course, the roof’s purpose is not only to protect you from the rain or to keep your house warm. You want it to look good too. Brunette Home Improvement works with the best shingle manufacturers in U.S. That’s why we can offer an unmatched color palette of all types of shingles.
And if you have trouble choosing, our expert designer will be there to help!
Can you build residential metal roofs?
Of course! Our team can help walk you through important key factors to determine if a metal roof is right for your home.
Will it last a lifetime?
In your lifetime, you will make very few decisions as crucial to your home as purchasing a roof. Unfortunately, picking top-of-the-line materials is not enough. In our 30 years of serving Mid-Michigan, we have seen many families who did everything right, except choose the right company to install their roof.
The quality of service is even more important to the longevity of the roof than the materials, because there is no room for mistakes.
Hopefully, the credentials we have accrued over the years speak for themselves.
