Our Story
J & M Roofing & Mobile Homes Service is a trusted, locally-owned roofing contractor serving Brimley and the surrounding Eastern Upper Peninsula. We understand the specific challenges Brimley roofs face, particularly from our harsh weather cycles that can accelerate granule loss on shingles and create ventilation problems leading to ice dams and premature aging. Our team provides thorough inspections, precise repairs, and complete roof replacements using durable materials suited for our climate. We specialize in both traditional residential roofing and mobile home roof services, ensuring every structure is properly protected. Our focus is on solving the root cause of ventilation issues and replacing worn shingles to extend the life of your roof and protect your home.
Common Questions
Why am I finding black sand-like granules in my gutters, and is it a serious problem for my Brimley home?
Those granules are from your asphalt shingles wearing down. It's a common issue here due to temperature swings, sun exposure, and snow load. While some loss is normal over time, excessive granule loss exposes the asphalt matting to UV rays, leading to cracks and leaks. We recommend an inspection to assess the shingle integrity and discuss repair or replacement options before minor wear turns into major water damage.
How can poor roof ventilation cause ice dams on my Brimley home, and how do you fix it?
In our climate, warm air trapped in your attic melts snow from below. The water refreezes at the colder eaves, creating ice dams that can force water under shingles. The fix isn't just removing ice; it's correcting the ventilation. We evaluate your attic's intake and exhaust airflow, often adding soffit vents, ridge vents, or baffles to create a continuous cold roof system. This prevents the melt-refreeze cycle and protects your roof structure.
Do you handle mobile home roofs differently than traditional house roofs in the UP?
Absolutely. Mobile home roofs have unique structures, truss systems, and material requirements. They are particularly vulnerable to wind uplift and condensation issues common in our area. We use specialized materials and installation techniques designed for the flexibility and specific load requirements of mobile homes. Whether it's addressing ventilation to prevent moisture or securing the roof against Lake Superior winds, our service is tailored to ensure long-lasting protection.
