Common local signs include unexplained increases in heating/cooling bills, sagging or uneven roof planes, water stains on ceilings or in attics, a musty smell in the upper floors, and visible mold or mildew on roof sheathing. Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles can trap moisture, so it's crucial to have a professional inspection if you notice any of these issues.

We start by removing the affected shingles and underlayment to fully expose the damaged decking. All rotted wood is cut out and replaced with new, pressure-treated sheathing. We then ensure proper ventilation and install a high-quality waterproof underlayment before re-shingling. This comprehensive approach addresses the root cause, protecting your Shelby Township home from future moisture intrusion and rot.

In Shelby Township's climate, poor attic ventilation traps warm, moist air in winter, which condenses on cold roof sheathing, leading to rot and mold. In summer, trapped heat bakes shingles and insulation. We assess and correct ventilation by ensuring adequate intake (soffit vents) and exhaust (ridge or roof vents) to create a continuous airflow, which regulates temperature, reduces moisture buildup, and extends your roof's lifespan.
