First, ensure it's safe to assess the situation from the ground. Avoid climbing on the roof yourself, as storm debris can hide damage and create slip hazards. Contact us at Scott Lawrence J Roofing for a professional inspection. We'll safely remove the debris and provide a detailed assessment of any underlying damage to your shingles, flashing, or structure, recommending the necessary repairs to prevent leaks and further deterioration.

Some granule loss over time is normal, but excessive loss, often accelerated by our local freeze-thaw cycles and hail, is a serious sign of shingle wear. Those granules protect the asphalt from UV rays. Significant loss means your roof is aging prematurely and losing its weather resistance. We recommend a professional evaluation to determine if targeted repairs or a full replacement is needed to maintain your home's defense against Minnesota weather.

The extent of damage, the age of your existing roof, and the concentration of issues are key factors. Isolated damage from a single fallen branch often requires a repair. However, widespread granule loss, multiple cracked or missing shingles, or damage across several roof slopes—common after severe hail or wind events in our area—may make replacement more cost-effective and reliable long-term. We provide honest, detailed assessments to help you make the best decision for your home and budget.
