Most residential roofs in Michigan are designed for 20–40 lbs per square foot of snow load depending on local codes. Wet snow weighs significantly more than dry snow. If you notice ceiling cracks, sticking doors, or visible ridge deflection after heavy snowfall in Hermansville, call us immediately — these are signs of structural stress.

Lifetime warranty shingles are typically 30+ year laminate products where the manufacturer offers coverage for the life of the original purchaser's ownership. Coverage for workmanship, wind, and algae is often limited within the overall lifetime coverage.

Self-adhered underlayment (ice and water shield) bonds directly to the deck surface, sealing around fasteners and joints to prevent water infiltration. It's required by code at eaves and valleys in most climates.

Algae-resistant shingles incorporate copper or zinc granules into the surface layer that inhibit Gloeocapsa magma growth. Most major manufacturers offer algae-resistant formulations. They're particularly valuable in humid climates where biological growth is common.

Stone-coated steel shingles combine a steel substrate with a stone granule surface coating to provide the appearance of conventional shingles with the durability of metal. They offer excellent impact, wind, and fire resistance.

Standing seam uses concealed fastener panels with raised seams at the panel joints, providing superior water management and a clean appearance. Corrugated metal uses exposed fasteners through the panel surface, which requires more maintenance but costs less.

Steel roofing is protected from corrosion by galvanized or Galvalume (aluminum-zinc alloy) coatings, then painted with a factory finish. Properly installed and maintained metal roofs resist rust for decades. Bare steel without protective coating would rust.

Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) is a single-ply membrane roofing system used on flat and low-slope roofs. Seams are heat-welded, creating strong bonds. White TPO has excellent reflectivity for energy efficiency in hot climates.

Wood shake shingles are split from cedar, redwood, or pine. They offer a natural appearance and good insulation properties but require regular maintenance to resist moisture, mold, and fire risk. Fire-treated products are required in many jurisdictions.

Roof coatings are liquid-applied materials — acrylic, silicone, polyurethane — applied over existing roof surfaces to extend service life and improve reflectivity. They're primarily used on low-slope commercial roofs, not on residential asphalt shingle systems.

Shingle granules are typically crushed slate, ceramic-coated rock, or other mineral aggregates. They protect the asphalt from UV degradation, provide fire resistance, and create the visible color and texture of the shingle surface.

Premium shingles offer heavier weight, thicker laminate construction, higher wind ratings (typically 130 mph+), and extended warranty terms versus standard architectural products. The cost premium is modest relative to the labor cost of installation.

Asphalt shingles generate landfill waste at end of life, though recycling programs exist. Metal roofing is often made with recycled content and is fully recyclable at end of life. Some synthetic products use recycled rubber or plastic.

Wind ratings for asphalt shingles range from Class D (90 mph) to Class H (150 mph). Many premium architectural shingles carry 130 mph ratings. Local building codes may require minimum wind ratings based on regional storm risk.

Light-colored or reflective metal roofing, concrete tile, or Energy Star-rated asphalt shingles perform best in desert climates. Materials that minimize heat absorption reduce attic temperatures and cooling costs.
