DRS Roofing & Snowplowing | General Contractors & Roofing in Gaylord, MI 49735

During our professional snow clearing, we're often the first to spot early warning signs like excessive granule loss in the meltwater or visible gaps in the flashing. We'll notify you right away so we can schedule a targeted inspection and repair, preventing small issues from turning into costly interior water damage common after a Gaylord winter.

In our climate, flashing separation is often caused by the repeated freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow loads common in Gaylord. This puts stress on the seals. Our repair process involves removing the compromised flashing, preparing the surface, and installing new, high-quality flashing with durable, cold-weather sealants to ensure a tight, long-lasting seal against the elements.

Some granule loss is normal as shingles age, but a sudden increase, especially after winter, can signal accelerated wear from ice dams or heavy snow. As local experts, we recommend an inspection. We can assess if it's just surface wear or if the protective layer is compromised, which can leave your roof vulnerable to UV damage and leaks common in our area.
