South Central Roofing Company | Roofing Services in Albert Lea, MN 56007

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 yard. Inside, check your attic for daylight coming through the roof boards or signs of water stains. Because wind can cause subtle lifting that leads to flashing separation, it's wise to have a professional inspection. We offer free, thorough assessments to identify all storm-related issues specific to our local climate.

Flashing is the metal material installed around roof protrusions like chimneys, vents, and skylights to create a watertight seal. In Albert Lea, the primary cause of flashing failure is high winds during storms, which can pry it loose or separate it from the roofing material. Temperature fluctuations can also cause expansion and contraction, weakening the seal over time. We repair and replace flashing using best-practice techniques and durable metals to withstand our local weather conditions and prevent costly water intrusion.

Our process starts with a detailed inspection to document all wind and flashing damage for your insurance claim. We then secure any exposed areas with tarps if needed. For repairs, we carefully remove damaged materials, replace compromised decking, and install new, high-quality shingles that match your existing roof. We meticulously reseal all flashing points and ensure proper ventilation. Finally, we conduct a final inspection and clean up the job site completely, leaving your property in Albert Lea secure and protected.
