Warren Roof Pros provides professional wind damage roofing in Warren, MI for residential and commercial properties across south Macomb County. Wind resistance in a shingle roof is a nail specification rather than a shingle specification. That single idea explains most of what we get called out to look at on this housing, and almost none of it appears in a brochure. The code puts it plainly.
A roofing nail must be long enough to pass through the covering and go at least three-quarters of an inch into the sheathing. Where the sheathing is thinner than three-quarters of an inch the fastener has to penetrate all the way through it. On the three-eighths plywood common to 1960s Warren decks that means a nail visible on the underside, which surprises homeowners and is exactly correct.
On a plank deck the rule is easier to satisfy and much harder to execute. There is plenty of thickness in a 1x6, but there are open joints every few inches. A coil gun run quickly across a course will put a share of its nails into fresh air. Where we open an edge we renail into solid board with ring-shank fasteners.
We install six nails to the shingle rather than four, placed in the common bond where the manufacturer's instructions put them. Gun depth gets set by hand at the first square rather than left to the gauge on the tool. High nailing above the common bond is the most frequent defect we find on Warren re-roofs from the 1990s.
It becomes completely invisible the moment the next course goes down over it. The seal is the third factor. Asphalt shingles bind to each other with heat. So a roof laid in a Michigan November may never have sealed before its first winter arrived. Hand-sealing the rake, the eave, the ridge and every penetration is standard on our cold-weather work rather than an optional line at the bottom of a proposal.
The alternative is waiting on spring sun to finish a job that should have been finished at installation. Sometimes the honest answer after a wind event is one slope and not a whole roof. If the west face is stripped and the other three are sound, we will price that face alone and tell you frankly how the color will differ, instead of quoting the entire house because a ladder is already leaning against it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gapped 1x6 plank sheathing, three-eighths-inch plywood roof decking, fastener penetration through a sub-three-quarter-inch deck, half-inch plywood overlay nailed off to the rafters, panel edge clips at unsupported plywood joints, six-nail fastening in the common bond — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Warren and nearby communities including Center Line, Eastpointe, Roseville, Fraser.

Materials, equipment and how we do wind damage roofing
The difference between wind damage roofing that lasts and wind damage roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gapped 1x6 plank sheathing, three-eighths-inch plywood roof decking, fastener penetration through a sub-three-quarter-inch deck, half-inch plywood overlay nailed off to the rafters, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Warren job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in south Macomb County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Warren Chooses Warren Roof Pros
- ✓We lift a shingle and read the sheathing before pricing a covering, because on Warren housing the deck decides the fastener and the fastener decides how long the roof stays on.
- ✓Nail length and pattern are written into the estimate. The code sets three-quarters of an inch into the sheathing, or all the way through where the deck is thinner than that, and on a 1960s panel it means a nail you can see from the attic.
- ✓Where sound boards only need a plywood overlay we quote the overlay, and we price it beside a full re-sheathing so you can see both numbers rather than being told which one you need.
- ✓Deck replacement is counted by the sheet and photographed open before anything covers it, so the number on the invoice is the number that was on the roof.
