After a storm, look for missing, cracked, or curling shingles, especially in valleys or around chimneys. Check your gutters for an accumulation of asphalt granules from shingles, and inspect your attic for any water stains or daylight showing through. High winds common in our area can also lift shingles or damage flashing. If you see any of these signs, a prompt professional inspection from a local roofer like us can prevent minor damage from turning into a major leak.

For many Minnetonka homes with roofs around the 20-year mark, a replacement is often the most cost-effective long-term solution. At this age, materials like asphalt shingles are nearing the end of their lifespan, and recurring repairs become more frequent. We can conduct a thorough inspection to assess the overall condition of your decking, flashing, and shingles. Based on that, we'll provide a clear, honest recommendation on whether targeted repairs can extend the life a few more years or if a new, modern roof would be a better investment for your home's protection and value.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend a professional inspection in the spring and fall. We'll check for loose or damaged shingles, ensure all flashing around vents and chimneys is sealed, and clear your gutters and downspouts to prevent ice dams in winter. Trimming back tree branches that overhang your roof can also prevent damage from falling limbs during storms. Taking these steps helps your roof withstand the heavy snow, hail, and high winds common in our local climate, saving you from emergency repairs later.
