Frequently Asked Questions
We need a new roof in Hopkins but are worried about future ice dams. Can you help?
Absolutely. As professional roofers with deep expertise in ice dam prevention, we don't just install new roofs; we help design and build them to be more resistant to the specific conditions that cause ice dams in our area. During a new roof installation or replacement, we can recommend and implement roofing systems and ventilation strategies that help minimize the risk of ice dam formation, addressing the root causes often related to attic insulation and airflow.
My roof valley is leaking in Hopkins. Is this related to an ice dam?
It very well could be. Roof valleys are a common failure point during ice dam events in our climate. When ice builds up, it can block proper drainage in the valley, forcing water under the shingles. Our process starts with a thorough inspection to determine if an active ice dam is the cause. We then use our specialized steam technology to safely remove the ice without damaging your roof, followed by an assessment of any necessary repairs to the valley or underlying structure to prevent future leaks.
How does your team handle the insurance claim process for ice dam damage?
We make it straightforward. We have Pete, a former insurance adjuster with 20 years of experience, on our staff. He works directly with you and your insurance company to properly document the ice dam damage, navigate the claims process, and ensure the scope of repairs is accurately covered. This insider expertise helps Hopkins residents achieve the best possible outcome, reducing stress and ensuring repairs are completed to a high standard by our own remodeling professionals.
