Allen Park's post-war brick ranches and bungalows sit under some of the nicest tree canopy in the Downriver area — and take the same Michigan beating as everywhere else: spring windstorms working at shingle tabs, summer hail, and winter freeze-thaw. When storms roll through, we handle everything from emergency tarping to insurance-ready documentation, then the permanent repair.
Brick ranches and story-and-a-half homes on generous lots, many with the mature trees that define the city's streets. Roofs are typically architectural or older three-tab shingles on straightforward pitches — accessible, repairable, and long-lived when maintained. Detached garages are common and often share the home's shingle age.
Wind-lifted shingles after storms. Cause: straight-line winds catching aging sealant strips, especially on south and west exposures. Effect: tabs crease, break off, or peel back — each one a future leak.
Tree debris and limb damage. Cause: mature canopy overhanging roofs across the city. Effect: punctures from falling limbs, plus gutters packed with leaves and helicopters that back water up under eaves.
Hail bruising. Cause: summer hail cells. Effect: fractured shingle mats hidden under intact-looking surfaces, shedding granules for months until leaks appear — often the following spring.
Storm work starts with documentation: dated photos of every affected slope before anything is touched, so insurance claims and repair scopes share the same evidence. Wind damage gets woven shingle replacement matched to your roof; hail damage gets an honest assessment of whether it's cosmetic or replacement-worthy. Tree damage includes gutter clearing and pitch checks, because the debris caused half the problem. Written quote, photo record, clean yard — every time.
