For Michigan homeowners, including those in the Detroit metropolitan area, the state's climate presents a significant influence on roof longevity. Harsh winters with heavy snow and ice, combined with warm, humid summers prone to thunderstorms, can accelerate wear and tear on roofing systems.
Michigan's housing stock features a variety of architectural styles, often with steep roof pitches designed to shed snow. Our inspection process focuses on identifying potential issues arising from these conditions. We examine shingles for damage caused by freeze-thaw cycles, check for ice damming at eaves and valleys, and assess the integrity of flashing around penetrations. We also look for signs of moisture intrusion in attics, which is crucial for preventing structural damage and mold growth in the humid summer months.

Issues stemming from lack of maintenance, age, or poorly managed ice dams may not be covered. We can help document storm-related damage for your insurance provider.
