Lansing Roofing Pros | Roofing Services in Lansing, MI 48910

We start with a detailed inspection, often using moisture meters and probing in areas prone to trapping water, like valleys and around chimneys. If we find rot, we carefully remove the affected section of decking and any damaged underlayment, ensuring we trace the moisture source to prevent recurrence. We then replace it with new, pressure-treated plywood and high-quality synthetic underlayment, sealing everything properly to protect against future Michigan weather.

In our climate, damaged underlayment is a direct path for water to reach your roof deck, leading to rot, mold, and interior leaks. We repair it by removing the shingles over the compromised area, stripping away the old underlayment, and installing a new layer of high-performance, ice-and-water shield—especially crucial at eaves and valleys. This creates a secondary water barrier that protects your home during heavy rains and ice dam formation.

The best defense is proactive maintenance. We recommend biannual inspections, especially after winter, to clear debris from valleys and gutters where water can pool. Ensuring your attic has proper ventilation is critical to prevent condensation that rots decking from the inside. Finally, don't ignore minor leaks or missing shingles, as they quickly lead to underlayment failure. We offer maintenance plans to help Lansing homeowners stay ahead of these issues.
