With summer moving toward fall, Property Revolution Roofing and Decks is encouraging homeowners in Kentwood, southeast Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Cascade, Forest Hills and surrounding Kent County communities to use the early-fall weather window to evaluate their roofs before Michigan’s freeze-thaw and snow season begins.
A pre-winter roof inspection can help identify problems created by summer storms, normal aging, and deteriorating roofing details before colder weather makes repairs more complicated.
The National Weather Service Grand Rapids identifies repeated melting and refreezing of roof snow as a major factor behind ice-dam formation in northern climates. Water can work beneath roofing materials and eventually enter the attic, ceilings, and walls. The NWS also recommends keeping gutters and downspouts clear and paying attention to attic insulation and ventilation as part of reducing ice-dam risk.
“Fall is one of the best times to understand what condition your roof is actually in,” said Curt Visser, Founder and CEO of Property Revolution Roofing and Decks. “You want to find a flashing issue, ventilation problem, or damaged section before snow and ice are sitting on top of it. The objective is not to tell every homeowner they need a new roof. It is to identify what needs attention while there is still time to make a good decision.”
Property Revolution recommends that Kentwood homeowners look for loose or damaged shingles, worn flashing, deteriorated roof penetrations, clogged gutters, damaged fascia or soffit, and evidence of moisture in the attic.
Attic conditions also matter. Heat escaping into an improperly insulated or ventilated attic can warm the roof deck, contributing to snowmelt that later freezes near colder roof edges. Roof performance during a West Michigan winter therefore depends on more than shingles alone.
When replacement is needed, Property Revolution emphasizes complete roofing systems rather than treating the visible shingle layer as the entire roof.
