Midland is situated in a unique geographic “snow belt.” We don’t just get snow; we get heavy, wet, lake-effect accumulation that sits on rooftops for months at a time. This constant weight puts immense pressure on the rafters and decking. Furthermore, the freeze-thaw cycle in our region is particularly aggressive. During the day, the sun may melt the snow, but as temperatures drop at night, that water freezes, expanding into the cracks of your shingles and under the flashing.
This process, known as ice damming, is one of the most common reasons Midland residents seek out a roofing contractor Midland. Standard roofing practices that work in milder climates simply don’t hold up here. You need a system designed for the North. At 705 Roofing, we understand that a roof replacement Midland requires specialized underlayments, enhanced ice and water shields, and superior ventilation to ensure that heat doesn’t build up in your attic and contribute to the very ice dams that destroy your gutters and eaves.
