We see these issues frequently due to our freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow. For skylight leaks, we perform a thorough inspection of the sealant, flashing, and surrounding shingles, often finding that the original installation didn't account for our climate's expansion and contraction. For flashing separation, especially around chimneys and vents, we carefully remove the compromised material, prepare the surface, and install new, code-compliant flashing integrated with your roof system. Our goal is a repair that addresses the root cause to prevent a recurring problem.

Our comprehensive roof inspection evaluates the entire roofing system. We check for worn, cracked, or missing shingles; examine the condition of flashings, valleys, and eaves; assess the ventilation; and look for signs of moisture in the attic. Given Minneapolis's harsh weather, small issues like a compromised shingle or a minor leak can lead to significant interior damage or ice dams. A professional inspection helps catch these problems early, allowing for manageable repairs and extending the overall life of your roof.

While repairs are often a smart solution, a replacement becomes necessary when repairs are no longer cost-effective or the roof's integrity is compromised. Key signs include widespread shingle curling or loss, multiple leaks, sagging roof decks, or if your roof is near or past its expected lifespan (typically 20-25 years for asphalt shingles in our climate). We provide a straightforward assessment, explaining the condition of your roof and whether continued repairs or a replacement is the most reliable long-term investment for your Minneapolis home.
