Lansing is beautiful for its mature canopy of trees, especially in neighborhoods near Moores Park and the Westside. But for your roof, these trees are a liability. We frequently see “micro-abrasion” on Lansing roofs—where overhanging oak and maple branches slowly scrub the granules off your asphalt shingles during wind storms.
The Local Fix:
If you live in Lansing’s older districts, we recommend impact-resistant shingles (Class 4) that can withstand falling debris. Furthermore, our inspections in Lansing always include a “Vegetation Clearance Check.” We don’t just look at the roof; we advise you on which branches need trimming to prevent the next wind storm from turning a branch into a projectile.
