Michigan's climate means roofs take a beating. Heavy snow loads in winter can stress your shingles. Ice dams forming along eaves can lead to water leaks. Spring's freeze-thaw cycles can crack and lift shingles. Summer storms bring high winds and hail that can damage your roof. Addressing issues quickly saves money and prevents bigger problems. We work with all types of shingle materials. Each has pros and cons for Michigan's weather. Consider how well a shingle stands up to cold and snow. Also, think about its resistance to hail and wind.
