🌧️ NORTHERN MICHIGAN HOMEOWNERS: DID TODAY’S STORMS HIT YOUR AREA?

After a storm with strong wind, heavy rain, or hail, it’s worth taking a few minutes to look over what you can safely see from the ground.

Look for:

✔️ Shingles that appear missing or displaced
✔️ Visible damage to shingles or siding
✔️ New debris around the home
✔️ Damaged vents, flashing, or exterior components
✔️ Anything that looks different from before the storm

You don’t need to climb onto your roof to start paying attention to what happened.

And remember, not every sign of storm damage means you need a new roof. The first step is simply understanding what you’re looking at.

If today’s weather came through your area, take a few minutes to safely look around your home when conditions allow.

Did you get hit with the storm this morning? 🌧️

🏠 QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK BEFORE HIRING A ROOFING CONTRACTOR

Choosing a roofing contractor is about more than comparing the bottom line on a few estimates.

Before you sign a contract, make sure you understand what you’re actually getting, who is doing the work, and what happens if something doesn’t go as planned.

Here are some questions worth asking:

1️⃣ What are you recommending, and why?
A good contractor should be able to explain what they found and why they’re recommending a particular solution, not just tell you that you need a new roof.

2️⃣ What specific materials and products will be used?
Ask about the manufacturer, shingle/product line, underlayment, ventilation components, flashing, and other important roofing materials. “A new roof” doesn’t tell you much about what is actually being installed.

3️⃣ What exactly is included in my estimate?
Make sure you understand what’s included in the quoted price and what could result in additional costs.

4️⃣ What happens if damaged sheeting is found?
This is an important one. Ask how damaged or deteriorated sheeting is handled, how replacement is priced, and how you’ll be informed if additional work is needed.

5️⃣ Who will actually perform and oversee the work?
Find out who will be working on your home and who is responsible for overseeing the project from start to finish.

6️⃣ What warranties come with the project?
Ask what warranties apply, who provides them, what they cover, how long they last, and whether there are any maintenance or installation requirements that could affect coverage.

7️⃣ What happens if I have a problem after the project is completed?
Ask who you contact, how problems are handled, and what the process looks like if something needs to be addressed after the crew leaves.

And one of our favorite questions to ask a contractor:

“If this were your home, what would you do?”

You don’t have to be a roofing expert to make an informed decision.
You just need to ask the right questions.

Save this post for the next time you’re comparing roofing contractors, and don’t be afraid to ask for clear answers. 🏠

🍂 NORTHERN MICHIGAN HOMEOWNERS: FALL IS COMING.

Before we head into another Northern Michigan winter, fall is a good time to think about the condition of your roof.

Summer has brought plenty of sun, rain, wind, and weather exposure. Winter will bring its own challenges, including snow, ice, freezing temperatures, and freeze-thaw cycles.

Before those conditions arrive, take a look at what you can safely see from the ground:

✔ Missing or damaged shingles
✔ Areas that look worn or deteriorated
✔ Changes you’ve noticed since last season
✔ Damage following summer storms

You don’t have to assume that every issue means you need a new roof.

The goal is simply to understand the condition of your home before winter arrives.

A little awareness now can help you make informed decisions later.

What part of getting your home ready for fall do you tackle first? 🍂

Finished Project Friday 🏠

This Northern Michigan home just got a fresh new roof featuring GAF - Roofing Timberline HDZ shingles in Hickory.

The dimensional color variation in the Hickory blend gives the roof a warm, natural look while adding some really nice depth to the finished exterior.

From tear-off and installation to the finished roof, every detail matters when it comes to protecting your home from Northern Michigan’s weather.

What do you think of the Hickory color? Would you choose something with this much variation, or do you prefer a more uniform shingle color?

Thanks for trusting Landmark Exteriors with your home! ❤️

🏡 WHY DOES VINYL SIDING SOMETIMES GET LOOSE?

If you’ve ever noticed a piece of vinyl siding that seems to be pulling away from the wall, you’re not alone.

Vinyl siding is designed to move as temperatures change. During Northern Michigan’s hot summers and cold winters, that expansion and contraction can put movement into the siding system.

Loose siding can also be related to things such as:

✔ Installation
✔ Damage
✔ Fastening issues
✔ Weather exposure

A loose panel doesn’t automatically mean the entire siding system needs to be replaced.

The first step is understanding why it became loose and whether anything else around it has been affected.

Have you ever noticed a piece of siding moving or pulling away from your house? 👀

🏠 EVER LOOKED AT A ROOF AND WONDERED, “WHY DOES IT LOOK WAVY?”

An uneven or wavy-looking roof can have several possible causes, and the appearance alone doesn’t necessarily tell you what’s happening underneath.

Some possibilities can include:

• Issues with the underlying decking
• Moisture
• Roofing material conditions
• Installation factors
• Age and weathering

That’s why it’s important not to assume that one visible symptom automatically means you know what the problem is.

Sometimes what’s happening beneath the shingles matters just as much as what you can see on top.

A roof is a system, and understanding the condition of that system is much more useful than making a decision based on one visual clue.

Have you ever noticed an uneven area on a roof and wondered what caused it?

🌧️ WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR ROOF DURING HEAVY RAIN?

When rain really starts coming down, your roofing system has one important job: move water away from your home.

Water travels across the shingles and toward areas designed to direct it away, including valleys and the lower edges of the roof.

That’s why details like:

✔ Properly installed shingles
✔ Flashing
✔ Roof valleys
✔ Underlayment
✔ Proper water drainage

all play a role in keeping water where it belongs: outside your home.

Heavy rain can also reveal problems that weren’t obvious during dry weather. A small weakness in the roofing system can become much more noticeable when it’s handling a large amount of water.

Your roof doesn’t just keep rain out. It has to manage where that rain goes.

Have you ever noticed a leak only during a particularly heavy rain? 👇

🏠 EVER WONDER WHY SOME ROOFS ARE STEEP AND OTHERS ARE ALMOST FLAT?

That difference is called roof pitch, and it plays an important role in how a roofing system handles water, snow, and the elements.

Roof pitch describes how steep or shallow a roof is. You may have noticed that two homes can have completely different roof shapes, even when they’re using similar roofing materials.

Pitch can affect things like:

✔ How quickly water sheds from the roof
✔ How snow accumulates and moves
✔ How roofing materials are installed
✔ Which roofing details are needed in different areas of the roof

And in Northern Michigan, where our homes see everything from heavy rain to significant snow and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, how a roof is designed matters.

Your roof’s pitch isn’t just about how it looks. It’s part of how the roof functions.
