After a storm, look for missing or cracked shingles, dents in metal components, granule loss in your gutters, and any visible punctures or tears. Water stains on interior ceilings or walls are also a major red flag. It's wise to have a professional inspection from Mike Neal Roofing, as hidden damage from fallen branches or hail can compromise your roof's integrity and lead to leaks.

Preventing ice dams starts with proper attic insulation and ventilation to keep your roof's surface cold and consistent. Ensure your gutters are clean before winter to allow proper drainage. While these steps help, the most effective long-term solution is a professional evaluation of your roof's ventilation system. We can identify and correct heat loss issues that contribute to ice dam formation.

First, we safely remove the ice dam to prevent further water intrusion. Then, we conduct a thorough inspection to assess damage to shingles, underlayment, and decking. Repairs typically involve replacing compromised materials and, crucially, addressing the underlying ventilation or insulation issues that caused the dam. Our goal is to not only fix the visible damage but also implement solutions to prevent future occurrences.
