Detroit experiences an average of 44 freeze-thaw cycles per winter. Water seeps into small gaps in flashing or underlayment, freezes overnight, expands, and creates larger cracks the next day. This cycle repeats for months, accelerating roof system failure. New construction roofing must use materials rated for thermal cycling and installation methods that account for expansion and contraction. Cheap underlayment and inadequate flashing fail within five years under these conditions. Building a new roof here means using ice barrier products across the entire lower section of the roof, not just in valleys, and specifying fasteners that maintain holding power through temperature swings. Builders who cut corners during roof installation services create long-term problems for property owners.
