Smith Roofing | Roofing Services in Auburn Hills, MI 48326

We address ice dam damage by first safely removing the ice dam to prevent further water intrusion. Then, we conduct a thorough inspection of the underlying roof deck, insulation, and shingles for water damage and rot. Repairs typically involve replacing compromised decking, installing proper ice and water shield along the eaves, and re-shingling the affected areas. For long-term prevention, we can also assess and improve your attic ventilation and insulation to minimize the conditions that cause dams to form.

In Auburn Hills, nail pops are often caused by the natural expansion and contraction of roof decking due to our significant temperature fluctuations between seasons. Over time, this movement can push roofing nails upward, breaking the sealant and exposing your roof to potential leaks. Our repair process involves carefully removing the affected shingle, extracting the popped nail, and securing the area with a new, properly seated nail sealed with roofing cement. We then re-adhere the shingle to ensure a watertight seal and restore the roof's protective barrier.

Absolutely. While we repair existing damage, a key part of our service is helping prevent future ice dams. We focus on creating a "cold roof" system by evaluating and upgrading your attic's ventilation (soffit and ridge vents) and insulation. This helps maintain a consistent roof temperature, preventing snow from melting unevenly and re-freezing at the eaves. We may also recommend installing heating cables in specific, problematic areas. A proper assessment allows us to tailor a preventative solution for your home's unique structure.
