Plainwell at a glance
Plainwell is a city of 3,788 (2020) in Allegan County, on M-89 just east of U.S. 131, about ten miles north of Kalamazoo. The Kalamazoo River flows through the centre of town.
What that means for your roof
Plainwell has a historic downtown and older neighbourhoods near the river, alongside newer homes. Older roofs here can hide problems under multiple layers, which a tear-off reveals; see roof replacement.
River damp
Homes near the river see more fog and moisture, which can encourage moss and algae on shaded roofs.
The Island City
Plainwell is nicknamed the Island City for the power canal that cuts through it. The area was settled in the 1830s on the stagecoach route between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids, later followed by the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad and U.S. 131. When a four-lane U.S. 131 was built west of town in the 1960s, Plainwell became a bedroom community for both cities. Many homes from that growth period are now due for new roofs; a roof inspection shows how much life is left.
