Not necessarily. Some granule loss is normal as a roof ages, but excessive loss can leave shingles vulnerable to UV damage and leaks, which is a common issue here with our weather extremes. We recommend a professional roof inspection. Often, targeted roof repair can address the problem. If the loss is widespread and the shingles are near the end of their lifespan, we’ll discuss your options for a roof replacement with materials suited for our Minnesota climate.

Properly sized and installed gutters are a key defense against ice dams. Ice dams form when heat escapes from your attic, melts snow on the roof, and the water refreezes at the cold eaves. Our gutter installation services ensure correct sizing and pitch to efficiently channel water away from your roof edge. We often pair this with assessing your attic insulation and ventilation—a critical step—to address the root cause and provide a complete solution to protect your roof and prevent costly interior water damage.

Our pre-winter roof inspection in Crystal is thorough and focused on local risks. We check for loose, cracked, or missing shingles that could lead to leaks. We examine flashing around chimneys and vents for seals that may have failed. Critically, we assess your attic ventilation and insulation, as improper levels are a primary cause of ice dams. We also inspect your gutters for clogs or damage that could cause water backup and ice buildup. This proactive check gives you peace of mind and allows us to recommend any necessary roof repair or gutter cleaning before the harsh weather hits.
