What Affects Rates in Dearborn
- The June 5, 2024 tornado touched down east of Schoolcraft Road and Eckles Road, traveled northeast into Mason Road north of I-96, uprooting large trees and snapping limbs. Two additional tornadoes struck Wayne County neighborhoods in August 2023, one near Gibraltar Road and West Jefferson, another near Pheasant Run Golf Course, downing dozens of trees and damaging rooflines.
- Wayne County's 68 thunderstorm wind events since 2019 represent the dominant storm exposure for Dearborn roofs, causing shingle uplift, granule loss, and edge damage. Summer months bring clusters of severe thunderstorms with sustained winds exceeding 60 mph.
- Winter storm and ice storm events logged in Wayne County add freeze-thaw stress to roofs built in the 1950s and 1960s. Ice dams form along eaves, pushing water under shingles and deteriorating underlayment.
- Wayne County's median year built is 1956. Single-family homes dominate the structure type, and many roofs are on their second or third lifecycle, with underlayment and flashing past replacement intervals.
