Highland is an unincorporated CDP inside Highland Charter Township, tucked into northwest Oakland County between Milford and Hartland. The housing stock is mostly acreage homes, lake homes around the township’s chain of inland lakes, and ranch and colonial builds backed up to Highland State Recreation Area. Population sits at 8,977 (2020 Census CDP). Roofs here take a beating. Around 37 inches of snow a year, January lows in the low 20s, freeze-thaw cycles all winter that crack sealant and lift shingle tabs. Spring and summer wind and hail events drive the bulk of Michigan homeowner insurance claims, around 40% of all losses (III).
SkyeVantage coordinates asphalt shingle roof replacements in Highland end to end. Materials at wholesale cost.

One flat fee covers the coordination, the labor, the materials setup, and the dumpster. Everything else is at cost. You see the receipt.
Highland has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb), the same pattern as the rest of Oakland County and metro Detroit. NOAA 30-year normals for the county:
- Annual snowfall: ~37 inches. Ice damming risk on north-facing eaves through December to March.
- Winter temps: January average around 23°F. Freeze-thaw cycles repeatedly stress sealants, flashings, and shingle adhesion.
- Summer temps: July average around 72°F with regular 80-plus degree days. UV exposure on south and west slopes accelerates granule loss.
- Annual precipitation: ~33 inches of rain. Water management at valleys, step flashings, and chimney saddles is non-negotiable.
- Severe weather window: Spring through early fall. Wind, hail, and severe thunderstorms drive most of MI’s homeowner claims.
