Northern Michigan is notorious for harsh winters and we understand the havoc which snow and ice bring to the exterior of your home. Ice dams can cause your roof to deteriorate more rapidly; not only that, but it can also create leaks. This often leads to costly interior repairs to drywall, insulation and more.
Framing
First we tear off the existing shingle roof and inspect for rotten decking and rafters. Next, we attach 2×4 framing to the existing roof deck. The 2×4’s run up the slope of the roof and are followed by a new layer of sheathing. This creates channels which allow fresh air to run freely from the eaves of your roof up to the peak or ridge. We will then install new or modify the venting at the eaves by way of an “Edge Vent” or traditional soffit vents. The new roof will be installed as it normally would, and we will complete the roof by installing a ridge vent.
Skylight Repair/Replacement
We are experienced at installing skylights as well as sun tunnels in a roof to reduce energy consumption and increase the natural light in your home
Norm’s Roofing & Siding is experienced with cedar shakes and shingles. A natural product which actually outlasts many asphalt roofs. Cedar provides the beauty and longevity that are expected on a custom built home. Installation is a more labor intensive and time consuming process than a typical asphalt roof, but the results speak for themselves. Our staff is experienced in putting together all of the details required on a cedar roof. From steaming shingles to bend over a rounded rake edge; to following the wave of a curved eave edge. We have the know how to tackle the most difficult of jobs.
