Ice dams form when heat escapes from your attic, melting snow on the roof that then refreezes at the colder eaves. This creates a dam that traps water, which can seep under shingles and cause interior damage. Kroeze Brothers addresses this by first safely removing the ice dam to prevent immediate leaks. We then perform a thorough inspection to identify the root cause, such as insufficient attic insulation or ventilation, and recommend targeted repairs or improvements to prevent future occurrences.

Shingle curling in our area is often a result of moisture damage from ice dams or general wear from Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles. It's a serious sign that your roof's protective layer is compromised. Kroeze Brothers provides a detailed, honest assessment. While widespread curling often indicates the need for a replacement to ensure your home is protected, we will clearly explain the extent of the damage. If caught early, targeted repairs in affected sections might be a viable option to extend your roof's life.

The best defense is a good offense. We recommend a late-fall inspection to check for loose or damaged shingles, ensure gutters are clean and securely attached, and verify that attic ventilation is unobstructed. Kroeze Brothers can perform this inspection and address minor issues proactively. Ensuring proper attic insulation is also key to minimizing the heat loss that leads to ice dams. Taking these steps can prevent costly emergency repairs during the peak of winter.
