Hail Damage Roofing in Ann Arbor, MI
Washtenaw County catches the same squall lines that hit Detroit, usually a little earlier and a little stronger. Free inspection, honest assessment.
The quick read
Ann Arbor hail damage is inspected free with test squares on every slope. Washtenaw County's mix of historic homes, steep older roofs and newer subdivisions means no two inspections here look quite the same. Phone 1-800-564-6232 any time, day or night.
Ann Arbor's hail pattern, explained
Ann Arbor sits about forty miles west of Detroit, which means storms tracking east across southern Michigan reach Washtenaw County first and are typically a bit stronger there than they will be by the time they reach Wayne County. The terrain around Ann Arbor is more rolling than the lake plain to the east, with real elevation change through the Huron River valley and the moraine country to the northwest. Damage patterns here are correspondingly patchy.
Roof ages and materials in Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor has an unusual housing mix: dense older neighborhoods around downtown and the university with steep pitches and complex Victorian and craftsman geometry, extensive 1960s through 1980s subdivision growth through Pittsfield and Scio Township, and larger newer custom homes out toward Dexter and Chelsea. There is also a very large rental inventory, and rental property owners are frequently slower to inspect than owner-occupants.
Documenting a Ann Arbor loss
Rental and investor-owned housing is a real category here, and it is under-inspected. A tenant is not going to report granule loss in the gutters, and by the time the leak reaches a ceiling the claim window may have closed. If you own rental property in Washtenaw County, an inspection after a storm event is basic asset protection.
1. Roof type drives method
Ann Arbor's steep historic roofs and modern low-slope additions need different inspection approaches. We use both.
2. Documentation you own
Counts by elevation, dated close-ups and soft-metal photographs, delivered whether you hire us or not.
3. Accountable long-term
Family-run since 1947, with an address you can drive to and a warranty that means something.
Tarping between storm cells
Many Ann Arbor homes are old, tall and steep, which makes an emergency tarp a genuinely technical job rather than a matter of throwing plastic over something. Our crews are equipped for those roofs, and they work at night. Call as soon as water appears inside.
