Up North Roofing | Roofing Services in Harbor Springs, MI 49740

This is a very common issue in our area. The freeze-thaw cycle can damage shingles and flashing, while ice dams can force water under your roofing materials. Our repair process starts with a thorough inspection to locate the exact entry point. We then perform targeted repairs, which often involve replacing damaged shingles, resealing flashing around chimneys and vents, and ensuring proper attic ventilation to prevent future ice dams, giving you a lasting solution.

After a Northern Michigan storm, check for missing, cracked, or lifted shingles, and look for granules in your gutters. It's crucial to have a professional inspection quickly, as even minor damage can lead to leaks. Our storm damage repair service involves securing any loose materials, replacing damaged shingles with color-matched products, and inspecting the underlying decking for integrity. We also work directly with insurance companies to help streamline the claims process for you.

We prioritize materials built for durability against snow, ice, and wind. For most homes, we recommend impact-resistant architectural shingles with a high wind rating, which offer better protection than standard 3-tab shingles. Proper installation of ice and water shield along the eaves and in valleys is non-negotiable here. We also ensure robust, watertight flashing details around all penetrations. Using these high-performance materials installed by our experienced team is the best defense against our local weather.
