Advanced Exteriors | Windows Installation & Roofing in Minneapolis, MN 55428

Ice dams and ridge cap damage are common in our climate due to snow accumulation and freeze-thaw cycles. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent of the damage to your roof deck and shingles. Advanced Exteriors can provide a detailed evaluation and recommend solutions, which may include repairing damaged areas, improving attic ventilation, and adding proper insulation to prevent future issues. We also assist with navigating insurance claims if the damage is storm-related.

The need for a replacement versus a repair depends on the age of your roof, the extent of damage, and the condition of the underlying decking. For Minneapolis homes, factors like past hail damage or widespread wear from ice dams often signal a replacement is more cost-effective. During our free estimate, we'll inspect the shingles, flashing, and decking. If repairs are isolated, we'll fix them. If damage is extensive or the roof is near the end of its lifespan, we'll discuss replacement options, including durable materials suited for our local weather.

Fiber cement siding is an excellent choice for our area due to its exceptional durability against Minnesota's temperature swings, moisture, and impact. It resists rot, pests, and fire far better than traditional wood, and it holds paint beautifully for long-lasting curb appeal. While it has a higher upfront cost than vinyl, its longevity and minimal maintenance make it a valuable investment. Our team at Advanced Exteriors has extensive experience installing James Hardie and other leading fiber cement brands, ensuring a proper, weather-tight installation that protects your home for decades.
