Barnett Roofing and Siding, Inc. brings more than five decades of local experience to every project in Ann Arbor, MI, from modest ranch homes near the University of Michigan campus to larger properties in Barton Hills and the surrounding townships. This page takes a distinct focus: emergency-ready roofing response and storm damage repair, a complement to our general Ann Arbor roofing contractor services page that covers roof replacement and home value.

What Makes Ann Arbor Roofs Especially Vulnerable to Storm Damage?

Ann Arbor's climate presents a demanding mix. Washtenaw County sees heavy lake-effect snow from Lake Erie and Lake Michigan systems, spring hailstorms, and freeze-thaw cycles that can split aging shingles and widen existing cracks. Older neighborhoods such as Old West Side and Eberwhite often feature steep-pitch roofs with complex valleys that collect ice dams in winter. Flat and low-slope commercial roofs near downtown Ann Arbor face pooling water after spring storms. These local conditions mean that a roofing problem can escalate quickly if not addressed within hours, not days. Barnett Roofing and Siding, Inc. is familiar with the Washtenaw County permit process and the building codes that apply across Ann Arbor and the surrounding communities of Ypsilanti, Saline, and Dexter.
