McPhillips Bros Roofing Company | Roofing Services in Saint Paul, MN 55109

We address gutter ice blockage by repairing and reinforcing your roof's edge and drainage system. This includes fixing damaged or sagging gutters, ensuring proper slope for water flow, and sealing any gaps where heat can escape and melt snow unevenly. For severe cases, we may recommend adding ice and water shield underlayment or heated gutter cables as part of the repair to prevent ice dam formation and protect your home from water infiltration.

In Saint Paul, flashing corrosion is often caused by our humid summers, winter salt exposure, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles that wear down metal components. We repair it by carefully removing the corroded flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys, then replacing it with high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials like aluminum or galvanized steel. We also seal all joints with durable, weatherproof sealant to prevent future leaks and extend the life of your roof in our local climate.

Yes, absolutely. Many Saint Paul homes experience these issues together because they're interconnected—compromised flashing can allow moisture into the roof structure, worsening ice dam problems. Our comprehensive roof repair approach assesses both areas. We'll fix corroded flashing to seal entry points and address any underlying ventilation or insulation issues that contribute to ice buildup. This holistic repair ensures your entire roof system works efficiently to protect your home year-round.
