Weatherhead Roofing | Roofing Services in Traverse City, MI 49686

Common signs in our climate include interior water stains on ceilings or walls, a musty smell in the attic, and granules from shingles accumulating in gutters. The underlayment is a critical moisture barrier beneath your shingles, and Northern Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy precipitation can compromise it. We recommend a professional inspection if you notice any of these issues to prevent more extensive damage.

Flashing corrosion is prevalent in Traverse City due to our proximity to the Great Lakes, which increases exposure to moisture and salt in the air. Corroded flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys can lead to serious leaks. Our repair process involves carefully removing the damaged flashing, preparing the surface, and installing new, high-quality metal flashing sealed with durable, weather-resistant materials to provide a long-lasting solution.

Before our harsh Northern Michigan winters, we strongly recommend a thorough roof and gutter inspection. We'll check for loose or damaged shingles, ensure all flashing is intact and sealed, and clear gutters to prevent ice dams. Addressing minor issues like small gaps in flashing or worn underlayment at the eaves proactively can prevent major leaks and ice damage during the freeze-thaw season, saving you significant repair costs.
