Edwardsburg in particular

What we actually find on Edwardsburg roofs.

Edwardsburg is lake country — Eagle Lake, Pleasant Lake, Garver Lake — and lakefront property is exposed to wind from directions inland homes never see. Wind-lifted shingles along the exposed elevation are the single most common repair we make there.

Eagle Lake, Pleasant Lake and Garver Lake put a lot of open water on this map, and open water is the whole story for roofs here. Inland, a house is sheltered by its neighbours and by the trees between them. On a lake lot, one elevation faces a half-mile of unobstructed fetch and takes every gust the season produces.

That elevation ages differently from the other three. Wind gets under a shingle tab, breaks the factory sealant strip, and then every gust after that works the tab a little further loose. From the driveway the roof looks fine — the tabs lie back down when the wind drops. The next storm lifts them further, until one takes the nail heads with it and the deck is open.

So we look at lake-facing slopes differently from the rest of the roof. A fifteen-year-old roof with three sound elevations and one losing tabs is very often a repair rather than a replacement, and knowing which you are looking at is the difference between a manageable bill and an unnecessary one.

Local conditions

Three things that go wrong here specifically.

Every town on our map has its own failure pattern. These are the ones we see most often in Edwardsburg, and the ones we look for first when we get on the roof.

Local condition01 / 03

Wind-lifted tabs on the exposed side

The single most common repair we make in Edwardsburg. It concentrates on the elevation facing the water, and it progresses quietly — the tabs lie flat again between storms, so the damage is easy to miss from the ground.

Local condition02 / 03

Broken sealant strips

Shingles are held down as much by the factory adhesive strip as by the nails. Once wind has broken that bond it does not re-seal reliably, and the tab stays loose until it is replaced or the whole slope is redone.

Local condition03 / 03

Seasonal properties, unwatched leaks

A lot of property here is used part of the year. A leak that starts in November can run until spring with nobody in the house to see it, which is why an inspection between seasons is worth more here than almost anywhere else on our map. It costs nothing.

Edwardsburg questions

Straight answers.

If yours is not here, call and ask. Five minutes on the phone beats guessing about your roof.

The wind lifted shingles on one side of the house. Does that mean a whole new roof?

Not necessarily. If the rest of the roof is sound and the shingle is still available in a close colour match, replacing the damaged area or the affected slope is usually the sensible spend. Where it tips into a replacement is when the sealant strips have failed broadly, or the shingle is old enough that new material will not bond to it — we will show you what we found and explain which side of that line you are on.

Do you work on lakefront and seasonal properties?

Yes — Eagle Lake, Pleasant Lake and Garver Lake are all part of our normal service area. If you are not at the property year round, we can inspect and send you the photographs rather than needing you there, as long as we have access to the exterior.

How far into Cass County do you go?

Edwardsburg and the lake communities around it are inside our normal radius. For an address further into the county, call and ask — we will give you a straight yes or no on the phone rather than driving out and then working the distance into the price.

How quickly can you tarp after a storm?

Usually same day or next day. Storm damage? We answer after hours for emergency tarping. Tarping is a stopgap rather than a repair, but it ends the interior damage immediately and buys time to do the actual work in weather that allows it.
