Rock Roofing | Roofing Services in Minneapolis, MN 55439

After a storm, look for missing, cracked, or curled shingles, especially on roof edges and ridges. You might also find granules from shingles in your gutters or debris around your home. Inside, check for water stains on ceilings or in the attic. Because wind can lift and separate flashing—the metal sealing around chimneys, vents, and valleys—these areas are particularly vulnerable to leaks. If you suspect damage, a professional inspection from a local roofer like us is crucial to prevent further issues.

In Minneapolis, the combination of strong winds, freeze-thaw cycles, and temperature extremes can cause roofing materials to expand and contract, loosening the seals and fasteners on flashing. This separation creates direct pathways for water. Our repair process involves a thorough inspection to locate all compromised areas. We then carefully remove the old flashing, seal the underlying deck, and install new, code-compliant flashing with proper sealing techniques and durable fasteners designed to withstand our local climate, ensuring a long-lasting, watertight seal.

First, prioritize safety and avoid climbing onto the roof yourself. Document the visible damage from the ground with photos for insurance purposes. Then, take temporary measures to prevent interior water damage, such as placing buckets under active leaks and moving valuables out of the way. Contact a licensed, local roofing contractor like Rock Roofing for a prompt, thorough inspection. We can provide a detailed assessment and work directly with your insurance company to streamline the claims process for storm-related repairs, getting your Minneapolis home protected again as quickly as possible.
