Nail pops are common here due to our extreme temperature changes, which cause the roof decking to expand and contract, pushing nails up. We don't just hammer them back down—that's a temporary fix. Our proper repair involves removing the popped nail, securing the shingle with a new, corrosion-resistant nail placed in a fresh spot, and sealing it with a matching, weatherproof sealant to prevent leaks and future pops.

Signs include higher heating bills, ice dams along your eaves, or a musty smell in your attic. This often stems from inadequate attic ventilation or air sealing, allowing warm, moist air from your home to condense in the cold attic. We perform a thorough inspection to identify the source. Our solution typically involves correcting ventilation with balanced intake and exhaust, adding proper insulation, and sealing air leaks to create a dry, efficient attic space that protects your roof structure.

For our climate, we recommend impact-resistant architectural asphalt shingles with a strong warranty, or standing seam metal roofs. Both are excellent at shedding snow and resisting wind. The key is the installation system underneath: proper ice and water shield along the eaves, high-temperature roofing underlayment, and sealed roof decking. We use materials and techniques specifically chosen to combat moisture intrusion and thermal cycling, giving you a roof built for the long haul on the Iron Range.
