This is a common issue here. We'll start with a thorough roof inspection to assess the damage's extent. Often, localized repairs around flashing, vents, or damaged shingles can resolve the leak. However, if we find widespread granule loss or underlying decking issues—common after repeated freeze-thaw cycles—we'll discuss if a roof replacement is the more cost-effective, long-term solution. Our goal is always to recommend what's best for your home and budget.

In Ecorse, granule loss is a key indicator of shingle wear from sun, wind, and temperature swings. While some loss is normal over time, excessive granules clogging gutters signal aging. It reduces the shingles' ability to protect your roof from UV rays and water. We recommend a professional inspection. We can determine if targeted repairs can extend its life or if a roof replacement is advisable to prevent leaks and further damage to your home's structure.

Properly installed gutters are your first line of defense. They channel melting snow and rain away from your roof and foundation, preventing water backup under shingles and ice dams. Our gutter installation ensures correct pitch and capacity. Similarly, durable siding acts as a critical weather-resistant barrier, protecting your home's sheathing from wind-driven rain and moisture that can compromise the roof structure from the sides. We view your roof, siding, and gutters as an integrated system for total home protection.
