Roof replacement in Roseville, MI
If ice dams show up on your Roseville house every winter, a roof replacement is your chance to fix the whole roof edge at once. The old layers come off as needed, the deck gets checked, and new ice and water protection goes in where the ice backs up.
The inspection is free. You'll see photos of what we find and get a written scope before any work starts.
How a new roof helps with ice dams
A new roof won't stop snow from melting. It does let us rebuild the layers that keep meltwater out, and it lets us look at the attic conditions behind the melting.
On a Roseville replacement, these parts get our closest attention:
- Ice and water protection along the roof edges
- Underlayment across the whole roof deck
- Flashing at walls, vents and valleys
- Attic ventilation and insulation, with recommendations if something should change
Each one goes in your written scope, along with tear-off as needed and a check of the roof deck.
Got an ice dam right now?
Please don't climb up and chip at it. Call or text us, and we can remove the ice dam safely and check for any damage it left behind.
Once the ice is gone, the roof may only need a repair.If so, see roof repair in Roseville for how that work goes.
Asphalt shingles or metal roofing
Both work on a Roseville home, and we install both. The right one depends on your house, your budget and the look you want, and we'll talk it through at the inspection.
Either way, the same ice and water protection, underlayment, flashing and ventilation go underneath.
Questions about ice dams and new roofs in Roseville
What causes ice dams on roofs?
Ice dams form when heat from inside the house melts snow on the roof and the water refreezes at the colder edge. That ridge of ice traps more meltwater behind it, and the water can push under shingles and into the attic or walls. Warm attic air, from poor ventilation or thin insulation, can be part of the cause.
Will a new roof stop ice dams?
Not by itself. A new roof gets ice and water protection at the edges, which makes it harder for backed-up water to get in, but heat and snow are what create the ice. That's why we check attic ventilation and insulation on a replacement and recommend changes when we see something worth fixing.
Is ice and water protection included in a roof replacement?
Yes. Every replacement we do includes ice and water protection, plus underlayment, flashing and ventilation. Your written scope shows where it goes on your roof.
Will homeowners insurance cover ice dam removal?
Your insurance company decides what's covered, and policies differ, so check yours or ask your agent. If an ice dam caused damage, we photograph and document it and explain the repair scope so you have something clear to share.
What do I do if my gutters are full of ice?
Stay off the ladder and don't hack at the ice, because that can damage the gutters and the shingles. Text us a photo or call. We can remove the ice dam safely, check the gutters and roof edge, and repair the gutters if the ice bent or loosened them.
