🏠 Not all roofing warranties cover the same things, so it’s worth understanding what’s included before your project begins.

A manufacturer’s warranty generally relates to the roofing product, while a contractor’s workmanship coverage relates to the installation. The actual terms, exclusions, and requirements can vary.

Before moving forward with a roofing project, ask what coverage is provided, how long it lasts, what may be excluded, and what you would need to do if a problem arises.

Understanding the details upfront can help you make a more informed decision.

When reviewing a roofing warranty, what would you want clarified first: the length of coverage, what’s covered, or what’s excluded?

🏡 Every home has something that makes it feel like *your* home.

Maybe it’s the color of the siding, the shape of the roofline, a welcoming front porch, or the way your home looks surrounded by fall trees. 🍂

We spend a lot of time talking about maintenance and repairs, but it’s worth appreciating the details that make a house special, too.

What’s your favorite exterior feature of your home?

We’d love to hear about it in the comments!

🔨 Removing old shingles can reveal damage that wasn’t visible from the ground.

If sections of roof sheeting are rotted or otherwise unsuitable, those areas need to be addressed before the new shingles can be installed. Depending on the condition, that can mean removing the damaged material and replacing it with new sheeting.

It’s an important part of the process because shingles need a sound surface underneath them.

Every roof is different, so the amount of sheeting that needs replacement can’t always be determined just by looking at the existing shingles.

Had you ever thought about what might be underneath your shingles?

🏡 Choosing siding is about more than picking a color you like.

The right siding can complement your home’s architecture, highlight its best features, and bring the entire exterior together.

When comparing siding options, consider:

🎨 Color: Does it complement your roof, trim, and other exterior features?

🏠 Style: Does the siding work with your home’s architectural design?

🪵 Texture: Would a smooth finish, traditional lap siding, or a different texture best suit your home?

🔨 Long-term upkeep: Consider the maintenance requirements and durability of the materials you're comparing.

You don’t have to choose the most dramatic option to make a difference. Sometimes, the right color and style are all it takes to give your home a cohesive, finished look.

If you could change one thing about your home's exterior, would you choose a different siding color, style, or texture? Tell us in the comments!

🏠 Have you ever noticed a dip or sag along a roofline?

A roofline that appears to dip or sag can be more than a cosmetic concern. Depending on the location and severity, it may indicate an issue with the roof sheeting, framing, or structural support beneath the shingles.

The appearance alone doesn't tell you exactly what's causing it, and not every irregularity means there's a serious structural problem. But a noticeable change in your roofline is worth having evaluated rather than ignored.

If you notice a new or worsening dip, avoid climbing onto the roof to investigate. A qualified professional can help determine what may be happening and whether further assessment is needed.

Have you ever noticed a roofline that didn't look quite straight?

Your landscaping can make your home look beautiful, but it’s worth making sure plants and shrubs aren’t growing right up against your siding. 🌿🏠

When vegetation stays pressed against the exterior, it can trap moisture, limit airflow, and make it harder to notice changes or damage to the siding.

As fall settles into Northern Michigan, take a moment to check the areas around your home where shrubs, vines, or other plants have grown close to the walls.

A little breathing room makes it easier to keep an eye on your exterior and helps keep the area around your siding clear.

Do you prefer landscaping close to the house, or do you leave a little space between your plants and your siding?

Did you know some homes have more than one layer of shingles on their roof? 🏠

Instead of removing the old roofing, a previous installer may have added another layer on top. That can leave older shingles hidden underneath the surface.

We’ve seen just how much can be hiding under a roof. Landmark Exteriors has completed a roof where THREE layers of old shingles were underneath!

Michigan code places limits on when additional roofing layers are permitted. But regardless of whether a roof over may be allowed in a particular situation, Landmark Exteriors does not install new shingles over existing shingles. We remove the old roofing first.

Why? A full tear-off gives us the opportunity to examine the roof sheeting, identify damage that may have been hidden, and prepare the surface for the new roofing system.

A roof can look fine from the ground while still having a history you can’t see.

Did you know a home could have multiple layers of shingles beneath its current roof?

The scariest thing you could discover in your home this Halloween? A new water stain on the ceiling. 🎃🏠

A ceiling stain or damp spot is worth paying attention to, even if it seems small. It doesn’t automatically mean you need a new roof, but it does mean you should find out where the moisture is coming from.

Roof leaks can have different causes, and the visible spot inside your home isn’t always directly below the source.

If you notice a new stain, don’t ignore it and hope it disappears. Getting the cause identified is the first step toward figuring out what needs to be done.

What’s the biggest home maintenance surprise you’ve ever discovered? Hopefully nothing too spooky!

🏠 Finished Project Friday | Chums Corners, Michigan

A roof replacement can reveal problems that aren’t visible from the outside.

During this project in Chums Corners, we discovered rotting in the roof sheeting beneath the existing shingles. The damaged material was removed and replaced with new OSB sheeting before the new roofing was installed.

Why does that matter? Installing new shingles over damaged sheeting wouldn’t address the underlying problem. Replacing the affected areas helps provide a sound surface for the new roofing system and addresses the damage uncovered during the project.

The finished roof features Atlas shingles in Pewter Grey, but the most important part of this project was addressing what was hidden underneath.

It’s one more reason a proper roof replacement involves more than just changing the shingles.
