Winter damage isn’t always obvious—but catching it early can save thousands.
Here are the most common issues we see in Manistique and Indian Lake homes:
1. Interior Water Stains
Brown spots on ceilings or walls are a clear sign water has already made its way inside.
2. Missing or Damaged Shingles
Even a few missing shingles can expose your home to leaks during spring rains.
3. Sagging Gutters
Ice and snow buildup often pull gutters loose, preventing proper drainage away from your home.
4. Soft or Rotting Wood
Check fascia, trim, and decking—soft spots mean moisture has been sitting for a while.

5. Mold or Musty Smells
Closed-up seasonal homes with even minor leaks can develop mold quickly.
6. Warped Siding or Peeling Paint
This is often a sign of trapped moisture behind your exterior.
