Frequently Asked Questions
Why is ridge cap damage so common on Coleman roofs, and how do you fix it?
Coleman's weather, with strong winds and freeze-thaw cycles, puts constant stress on ridge caps, often loosening shingles and seals. We fix this by removing damaged materials, installing a new ice and water shield along the ridge for a watertight seal, and securing new, high-wind-rated ridge cap shingles with extra fasteners to prevent future uplift and leaks.
How can poor roof ventilation cause problems for my home in Michigan?
Inadequate ventilation traps heat and moisture in your attic. In summer, this overheats your roof deck and shingles, shortening their life. In winter, it leads to ice dams, which can force water under shingles and cause interior damage. We assess your current system and install balanced intake and exhaust vents, like soffit and ridge vents, to regulate temperature and protect your roof's structure.
What should I look for to spot early signs of ventilation or ridge cap issues?
Keep an eye out for curling or cracked shingles near the roof peak (ridge), granules in gutters, or visible gaps. Inside, signs include unusually high energy bills, moisture or mold in the attic, and ice dams along the eaves in winter. We recommend a professional inspection every few years, as we can identify subtle issues before they become major, costly repairs.
