Bancroft Construction | Roofing Services in Alpena, MI 49707

Common signs in our area include sagging roof sections, persistent interior leaks (especially after heavy snow melt), and a spongy feeling when walking on the roof. Moisture from ice dams and trapped condensation are frequent culprits. We start with a careful inspection to assess the extent of the damage. Our repair involves removing the affected shingles and underlayment, cutting out and replacing the rotted decking with new, treated plywood, and then reinstalling your roofing system with proper ventilation to prevent future issues.

Shingle curling in Alpena is often caused by our significant temperature swings, inadequate attic ventilation, or the shingles simply reaching the end of their lifespan. Heat buildup in the attic causes the shingles to bake and deform. While isolated curling can sometimes be addressed with adhesive, widespread curling typically indicates a failing roof system. We'll evaluate your roof's condition and ventilation. If the damage is extensive, a replacement with modern, high-quality shingles and improved airflow is the most reliable, long-term solution to protect your investment.

For durability against our snow, ice, and wind, we recommend impact-resistant asphalt shingles (Class 3 or 4) that can handle hail and falling branches. We also ensure proper ice and water shield installation along eaves and valleys to prevent ice dam leaks. For ventilation, we use a balanced system of intake and exhaust to regulate attic temperature year-round, which is crucial for preventing both ice dams in winter and premature shingle deterioration in summer. We'll walk you through the best options for your home's specific style and budget.
