  • Full Roof Replacement in Sterling HeightsA replacement in Sterling Heights is a load question before it is a shingle question. Most houses here went up after 1970 on factory-built trusses, and each was engineered for one layer of covering over a 25 pound ground snow load.
  • Roof Leak Repair in Sterling HeightsThe first question on a leak call in Sterling Heights is whether it is water from outside at all. On a truss-framed house with a deep insulation blanket and a cold attic, condensation and winter frame movement produce marks that look exactly like a roof leak and are not one.
  • Storm Damage Restoration in Sterling HeightsStorm work in central Macomb County means squall lines coming across from the west in spring and summer, straight-line gusts, and the occasional tree limb through a shallow tract roof. What gets damaged here follows the framing, not the marketing.
  • Hail Damage Roofing in Sterling HeightsHail in southeast Michigan is real but modest. We see it a few times a season, mostly in the three-quarter inch to one and a quarter inch range, which is enough to bruise an aged asphalt shingle and rarely enough to hole it.
  • Wind Damage Roofing in Sterling HeightsWind damage on a Sterling Heights roof starts at the edges and works inward, and the reason is geometry. These are wide, shallow, simple planes with long rake edges and long eaves, which is a lot of perimeter for a wind to get under.
