Storm Damage and Roof Inspections in Livonia

Southeast Michigan storms can damage shingles, mess with flashing, and create leak points that aren’t easy to spot from your yard. After a storm hits, keep an eye out for these warning signs:

• Missing shingles or places where you can see the underlayment
• Dents in soft metals (like vents or gutters)
• Debris sitting in valleys or near roof edges
• New water stains showing up inside (on ceilings, in the attic, on upper walls)

When we do a professional inspection, we check both the outside of your roof and your attic space. We look for signs of moisture, ventilation problems, and trouble spots around things like chimneys and vents. If we find storm damage, we document everything so you have clear information when you talk to your insurance company. What gets covered depends on your specific policy and carrier, and we can’t predict how that’ll go.

What Affects Roofing Costs in Livonia

Roofing costs can vary quite a bit based on your specific roof and what needs to happen. Here’s what typically influences the price:

• How big and complex your roof is
• Roof pitch and how easy it is to access
• What materials you choose for your roofing system
• Whether we need to tear off existing layers and dispose of them
• Any flashing, ventilation, and gutter work that goes with the project

We give you detailed estimates after we inspect your roof, so you’ll understand exactly what your project includes before any work starts.

Gutters and Attic Ventilation

Your gutters and attic ventilation work together with your roof to help prevent leaks and moisture problems that can cause headaches down the road.

Gutters:

• Direct water away from your house
• Prevent overflow and water problems around your roof edges
• Can be updated when you replace your roof for a cleaner look

Attic ventilation:

• Helps manage moisture when it’s cold outside
• Helps get rid of trapped heat when it’s hot
• Supports how well your roofing system performs and can help protect manufacturer warranty coverage when done right

What to Expect During Your Roofing Project

A typical project follows a clear process, so you know what’s coming:

• Inspection: We look at your roof and talk through what you need.
• Estimate: You get a written scope of work and a clear recommendation (repair vs replacement).
• Scheduling: We coordinate materials and plan the work without unnecessary delays.
• Installation: For roof replacement, we remove old roofing (when needed), check your decking, install underlayment, take care of flashing, and put on your new roof.
• Cleanup: We haul away debris and do a thorough cleanup.
• Final review: We walk through the finished work together and answer any questions you have.
