The roof is the one system that protects everything else in a home. When it fails, it does not fail alone. Water that gets past worn shingles or loose flashing reaches the roof deck, insulation, ceilings and wiring, and a problem that could have been fixed in an afternoon becomes structural damage. Hail and wind damage are especially easy to miss because they are rarely visible from the ground, and they keep getting worse through every freeze and thaw.
“Fall is the last good window to deal with a roof in Michigan,” said Chris Hect, owner of Hect Home Improvement. “Once snow and ice set in, a few lifted shingles or a gap in the flashing becomes water in the attic, and most people do not find it until the ceiling stains in February. A roof problem never gets cheaper by waiting. We want homeowners in Fenton and the communities around it to see exactly what shape their roof is in, with photos, while there is still time to fix it before the first hard freeze.”

Built for lake homes and larger roofs
Hect Home Improvement was founded in Flint in 2015 by Christopher Hect and has served Michigan homeowners for more than a decade. The company holds a 5.0-star Google rating across 160 reviews, has been BBB Accredited since 2023 and carries an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
The company’s crews work in Fenton regularly, and the homes there ask more of a roofer than most. Houses on Lake Fenton, Lake Ponemah and Silver Lake take wind straight off open water, so shingles on the exposed side age faster and wind damage often shows up as lifted or creased shingles that go unnoticed until they leak. Many lake homes began as seasonal cottages and were added onto over the years, leaving mismatched pitches and valleys that are a common source of leaks. Larger homes with steep faces, dormers and multiple valleys need the same attention to flashing and detail.
Permit rules also differ between the City of Fenton and Fenton Charter Township. Hect Home Improvement confirms the jurisdiction for each home and handles permitting whenever it is required.
“A new roof is one of the biggest investments a homeowner will ever make, so we treat every house like it is our own,” Hect said. “We do not cut corners and we do not rush to get to the next job. You see photos of what we found, you get a straight explanation and a fair price, and we stand behind the work with a lifetime labor warranty.”

Do not wait for the first freeze
Flashing, valleys and attic ventilation, not the shingles themselves, are behind most of the leak calls the company answers. Poorly balanced attic ventilation is also a leading cause of ice dams in Michigan homes. Hect Home Improvement is urging homeowners to have those areas checked now, while repairs are still simple and before snow and ice hide the damage until spring.
