Tackling Mid-Michigan Ice Dams and Summer Wind Fronts

During Central Michigan winters, escaping indoor heat warms attic spaces and melts the bottom layer of snow resting on the roof deck. That meltwater trickles down to cold eaves and refreezes into thick ridges of ice known as ice dams. Trapped water behind these ice dams pushes underneath asphalt shingles, causing wood rot, ceiling drywall stains, and ruined insulation.

During spring and summer, sudden severe wind fronts bring gusts capable of breaking old shingle tar seals and lifting edge flashing. To stop these weather threats, our Genesee County crews use specialized installation techniques:

• Ice and Water Membrane Shields: We lay self-adhering ice and water membrane barriers along all eaves, valleys, step flashings, and plumbing vents to block backed-up meltwater.
• Balanced Attic Ventilation Controls: We balance soffit intake vents with ridge exhaust vents to keep attic temperatures cold in winter, stopping ice dams before they start.
• High-Wind Fastening Schedules: Every shingle is secured with six ring-shank nails driven into reinforced nailing tracks, protecting your roof against 130 mph wind uplift.

Restoring Older Decking in Flint’s Historic Neighborhoods

Homes built in Flint between the 1920s and 1950s—such as those in Mott Park or Civic Park—frequently feature original 1×6 spaced board decking rather than modern solid plywood sheets. Over decades of heat cycles, these pine boards warp, split, or develop wide gaps.

Nailing modern shingles directly over gapped board decking leads to uneven shingle lines and premature nail tear-out. During every tear-off, our team inspects the raw deck. If board spacing exceeds building code limits, we install a smooth subfloor of structural OSB or plywood sheathing to ensure a solid, warrantied foundation for your new roof.

Frequently Asked Questions for Our Genesee County Team

Does Home Pro Roofing pull building permits in Flint and Genesee County? Yes. Roof replacements and structural siding projects require permits pulled through the City of Flint Building Safety Division or local township offices (such as Grand Blanc Township or Davison Township). We handle all permit applications, municipal filings, and final inspections.

Can you put a second layer of shingles over my existing roof to save money? While local codes sometimes allow a second layer, we strongly advise against “overlay” installations. Overlays trap heat, shortening shingle lifespan by up to 50%. More importantly, an overlay hides structural deck rot and rusted flashing from view. We always tear down to the bare deck to fix underlying problems.

Why do my gutters pull away from my fascia board every spring in Mid-Michigan? Gutters pull away when trapped water freezes solid inside the gutter trough during winter. The extreme weight of ice places immense leverage on weak gutter spikes. We solve this by installing heavy-gauge seamless gutters secured with internal screw hangers anchored directly into rafter tails every 18 to 24 inches.
