Top Emergency Roofing Services in Jenison, MI, 49428 | Compare & Call

For a home built around 1973 in Jenison's Residential Core, your original architectural asphalt shingles are over 50 years old, which is well past their engineered lifespan. On the 1/2" CDX plywood deck common in that era, the repeated cycles of moisture absorption and drying have likely compromised the wood's structural integrity. The combination of aging materials and the natural expansion and contraction of the roof plane creates a high risk of failure during a significant wind or hail event. The damage often starts at the seams and fasteners, invisible from the ground until it's too late.
