Just Because Winter Is Here Doesn’t Mean We’re Closed

Winter in Michigan brings beautiful snow-covered landscapes—but it also brings ice dams, one of the most common and damaging winter roofing problems. At Billy White Roofing, we want homeowners across Ann Arbor, Jackson, and the Torch Lake area to know that we are open all winter long and ready to help protect your home from costly roof damage.

What Is an Ice Dam?

An ice dam forms when snow on your roof melts and refreezes at the edges. This often happens when heat escapes from your home, warming the upper roof while the eaves remain cold. Over time, ice builds up and traps melting snow behind it, forcing water under shingles and into your home.

Why Ice Dams Are a Serious Problem

Ice dams aren’t just an inconvenience—they can cause significant damage if left untreated, including:

Roof leaks and interior water damage
Damaged shingles and underlayment
Mold and mildew growth
Gutter and fascia damage
Reduced roof lifespan

The longer an ice dam sits, the more damage it can cause.

Professional Ice Dam Removal Matters

Trying to remove ice dams yourself with salt, shovels, or sharp tools can actually damage your roof and create safety hazards. Billy White Roofing provides safe, professional ice dam removal using proven methods that protect your shingles and roofing system.

Our team knows how to remove ice dams without causing further damage, keeping your home safe and dry through the harshest winter conditions.

Prevent Roof Damage Before It Starts

Winter is the best time to be proactive, not reactive.

Roofing Remodel Completed at Pine Hills Lake in Horton, M

By Admin • December 22, 2025

We’re excited to share the completion of a stunning roofing remodel at Pine Hills Lake in Horton, Michigan. This project began with the full removal of the existing shingles on both the home and carport, giving us a clean, solid foundation to work from. To maximize protection and longevity, our team installed RW Grace Select Ice & Water Shield across the entire roof deck. New framing was added where needed, followed by a 1½-inch aluminum drip edge installed around the full perimeter for superior water management. We also upgraded the roof with new pipe flashings to ensure long-term leak prevention. The roof was finished with starter shingles and Owens Corning Duration shingles in the sleek, modern color Peppercorn Grey, instantly elevating the home’s appearance. For proper ventilation, we cut in the peaks to install a Lomanco ridge vent, then completed the system with matching ridge caps for a clean, polished look. If you’re ready to start your own remodeling or roofing project, bring your plans to Billy White Roofing and let our experienced team bring your vision to life.
