What Affects Rates in Warren
- Macomb County recorded 54 thunderstorm wind events in five years, including an August 2023 event that damaged 450 homes across Clinton Township with major structural impact to 43 properties. Shingle loss and deck exposure follow high wind.
- Macomb County's median home build year is 1975, meaning many Warren roofs are approaching or past typical asphalt shingle lifespan. Aging roofs sustain more wind damage than newer installations.
- A July 2021 tornado touched down southwest of Armada in Macomb County, causing tree damage and sporadic roofing damage. Warren is not in a high-frequency tornado corridor, but isolated touchdowns occur.
- Macomb County logged 10 hail events in five years. Hail bruising is often invisible from the ground but shortens shingle life and voids some manufacturer warranties if not addressed.
