What that means for your roof

Okemos has many larger family homes with complex rooflines, dormers and valleys. Valleys and wall flashing are where these roofs most often leak; see flashing and skylights.

Wooded lots

Wooded subdivisions shade roofs, which keeps them cooler but slower to dry. Moss and debris collect on shaded slopes and in valleys.

Named for a chief

Freeman Bray platted the village in 1841 and called it Hamilton, but residents called it Okemos after John Okemos, an Ojibwe chief. The legislature made the name official in 1859. The Red Cedar River runs east to west through the community on its way to the Grand River. Homes near the river and its wooded banks deal with more shade and leaf fall than open lots, so fall gutter cleaning and a look at the valleys before winter go a long way; see gutters and downspouts.
