Lake Fenton Roof Replacement

Project Overview

This homeowner reached out shortly after purchasing their dream home on Lake Fenton. During our inspection, we identified multiple leaks and visible water spots throughout the attic. These issues were caused by a combination of improper installation, granular loss, broken shingles, and several missing shingles that left the roof vulnerable to Michigan weather.

What We Found During Inspection

Improper Installation

Poor installation practices can lead to early roof failure. In this case, key components were not installed correctly, which allowed moisture to enter the attic and caused structural concerns over time.

Granular Loss and Shingle Damage

Widespread granular loss, along with cracked and missing shingles, meant the existing roof no longer had the protective layers needed to keep water out. These conditions often point to both aging materials and past storm exposure.

Active Leaks in the Attic

Several areas showed evidence of ongoing water intrusion. Left unresolved, this can damage insulation, drywall, framing, and interior finishes.

Project Challenges

This project required careful planning due to a difficult job site layout.

Limited Access for Material Delivery

Power lines prevented a standard roof drop, meaning materials could not be lifted directly onto the roof. Every bundle had to be moved manually, which required additional time, coordination, and physical effort.

Tight Working Conditions

The home sits in close proximity to the neighboring property, which meant we needed to take extra care during tear off. Protecting the surroundings and maintaining safe working conditions were top priorities throughout the process.

Our Solution

We installed a full CertainTeed roofing system to give the home long lasting performance and strong warranty-backed protection. With the new system in place, the home no longer has any roof leaks and now features a clean, durable, and resilient exterior that matches the quality of the lakefront property.
