What are the most common roof problems in Michigan?

The most common issues include roof leaks, flashing failures, shingles lifting or blowing off, ice dam-related backups, poor attic ventilation, and shingle curling or cracking caused by freeze-thaw cycles and temperature swings.

How do I tell if my roof leak is coming from flashing or shingles?

Leaks tied to chimneys, sidewalls, dormers, or valleys are often flashing-related. Leaks in open roof areas may point to shingles or decking. Learn more here: https://allpointconstructionmi.com/roof-flashing-problems/

Can a few missing shingles be repaired, or do I need a full replacement?

A small repair may be sufficient if the roof is otherwise healthy. Repeated blow-offs or multiple symptoms often indicate replacement is the smarter long-term option: https://allpointconstructionmi.com/repairs-or-replacements-how-to-tell-what-your-roof-needs/
