What happens during a roofing inspection?

The inspection evaluates shingle granule loss, checks for exposed fasteners or lifted edges, examines flashing condition around penetrations, assesses attic ventilation adequacy, and identifies any decking damage from previous leaks or ice dam infiltration.

How does ice and water shield differ from standard underlayment?

Ice and water shield is a self-adhering membrane applied at eaves, valleys, and around chimneys that seals around fastener penetrations and prevents water infiltration even when ice dams force moisture upward beneath shingles, while standard underlayment provides a secondary barrier but does not seal penetrations.

When should I schedule reroofing in Chassell?

Schedule roofing work during dry months between late spring and early fall when temperatures allow proper shingle sealing and before snow season begins, though storm damage repairs proceed year-round as conditions allow.

What warranty coverage applies to the work?

Every installation includes a 10-year warranty covering workmanship defects, material performance, and installation standards, separate from manufacturer warranties on shingles themselves.

How do you protect landscaping and property during tear-off?

Tarps cover foundation plantings, magnetic sweepers collect loose fasteners from driveways and lawns, and debris chutes direct old materials into disposal containers rather than free-falling onto the ground.

Roofing Installation and Repair

Pace Contracting handles complete roofing services in Chassell and surrounding Upper Peninsula communities where heavy snow loads and freeze-thaw cycles test every installation. You need roofing systems built to handle the weight of accumulated snowpack, resist ice dam damage along eaves, and maintain weathertight performance through rapid temperature swings that cause expansion and contraction. The difference between a roof that fails in five years and one that protects your home for decades comes down to material selection, fastener spacing, and ventilation design specific to Michigan's northern climate.

Roofing work includes full replacement, tear-offs and reroofing, repairs to damaged sections, and storm damage restoration after high winds or ice accumulation compromise the system. Licensed and insured professionals follow safe work practices on steep pitches and during winter conditions, with careful property protection throughout construction to prevent damage to landscaping, siding, and ground-level structures. Every installation receives a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and material performance.

Schedule a free roofing inspection to evaluate shingle condition, flashing integrity, and ventilation adequacy before minor issues turn into interior water damage.

Durable roofing systems for Michigan weather require adequate underlayment at valleys and eaves where ice dams form, proper ventilation that prevents attic heat from melting snow unevenly, and fastener patterns that resist wind uplift during storms. Shingle selection accounts for temperature rating and impact resistance, while flashing details around chimneys and vents use materials that remain flexible through freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or separating from the substrate.

After installation completes, you'll notice that snow melts evenly across the roof surface rather than creating ice ridges at the eaves, attic temperatures stay consistent without hot spots that indicate ventilation problems, and interior ceilings remain dry during rain events and spring thaw. Properly installed roofing eliminates the water stains, insulation damage, and structural rot that result from failed barriers.

The work includes complete removal of old materials down to the decking, inspection and repair of any compromised sheathing, installation of ice and water shield in vulnerable areas, and final shingle application with correct exposure and offset patterns. Pace Contracting handles both asphalt shingle systems and metal roofing options depending on your building design and performance requirements.
