At CS Roofing Company, we believe that the strength of a roof is only as good as the trust behind the relationship. Since our founding in 1992, we have served Michigan homeowners with a simple philosophy: Customer Satisfaction (CS). But our roots in the roofing industry go much deeper than 1992—they stretch back through generations of hardworking Michigan craftsmen.
Our company’s heart was forged on a warm afternoon behind an old cow barn. Our founder, Chris Swearengin, was just eight years old, trailing behind his father to a roofing job. When his father called for a bundle of shingles, Chris gathered the supplies and began to climb a rickety wooden ladder. Halfway up, fear took hold.
“I’m scared… I want to get down,” he mumbled. His father’s voice, calm and unwavering, provided a lesson that would define the rest of his life:
“Fear is just a feeling. You have to learn to push through it. Now get up here and help me fix this roof.”
That moment of overcoming fear, guided by a father’s hand, didn’t just fix a barn roof—it built a brand. Today, when we say “we’ll fix your roof,” it carries the weight of that childhood promise. It means we will be there to help, no matter how daunting the climb or how tough the job.
Roofing excellence isn’t just a trade for us; it’s a family heritage. Chris’s great-grandfather was a roofer in the 1800s, hammering shingles on Michigan churches long before modern safety harnesses or pneumatic nailers existed.
Chris founded CS Roofing Company to honor those timeless principles of honesty and grit. What began as a small, local operation with a single truck has grown into a regional leader, yet we have never lost that “neighbor-to-neighbor” mentality. When you work with us, you aren’t just a line item on a schedule; you are a homeowner who deserves the same care Chris’s father showed on that barn roof decades ago.
As our company expanded into siding, gutters, and commercial roofing solutions, we embraced the future while staying anchored in our past. This led to the creation of FixRoof.com, an industry-leading platform that revolutionized how Michigan homeowners access roofing services.
Through FixRoof, we’ve brought transparency and convenience to the roofing process, allowing you to request estimates and manage your project from the comfort of your home. However, even with the latest technology, our mission remains the same: helping you conquer the worry of a damaged roof with courage, trust, and quality.
We conduct business with truth and clarity. No gimmicks, no hidden fees — just straight answers and reliable advice. From initial inspection to final cleanup, you can trust what we say and do
Your needs drive our actions. We listen carefully, communicate openly, and ensure you’re satisfied at every step. This customer-first philosophy has guided us since day one and is the cornerstone of how we operate.
We are your neighbors. Being locally based means we care about our community’s well-being. Since 1992 we’ve provided jobs, supported local initiatives, and treated every home as if it were our own. Our long presence in Southern Michigan’s communities (Battle Creek, Jackson, Lansing, Hillsdale, and surrounding areas) means we’ll be here when you need us – today and decades from now.
We take pride in doing things right. Our roofing crews are highly trained, and we use quality materials to ensure lasting workmanship. From minor repairs to full roof replacements, we strive for excellence so that you get a roof (or siding or gutters) that stands the test of time. If something isn’t right, we make it right – guaranteed.
We continuously adapt to serve you better. Whether it’s embracing new roofing technologies or creating convenient tools like our FixRoof quick-repair program, we stay ahead of the curve. This forward-thinking approach makes your experience easier and ensures you receive the best solutions available.
