Original Roofing - Grand Rapids's Trusted Roof Repair

Nail pops are frequent here due to Michigan's extreme temperature swings, which cause roof decking to expand and contract, pushing nails up. We don't just hammer them back down, as that's a temporary fix. Our proper repair involves removing the popped nail, sealing the hole, and installing a new nail and sealant in a fresh location, followed by a matching shingle patch to ensure a watertight seal that lasts.

Flashing separation often occurs at chimneys, vents, and valleys due to weathering, improper installation, or house settling. In Grand Rapids, ice dams can exacerbate the problem. We inspect the entire flashing system, remove any compromised sections, and carefully install new, code-compliant flashing integrated with your roof's underlayment and shingles. We pay special attention to sealing all seams to prevent the wind-driven rain and snowmelt common in our area.

Absolutely. Prevention starts with expert installation. We use techniques specifically suited for our climate, such as ring-shank nails for superior holding power, enhanced ice and water shield in critical areas, and properly stepped flashing for sidewalls. Our attention to detail during a full roof replacement addresses the root causes of future nail pops and flashing failure, giving you a resilient system built for West Michigan weather.
