Swenson Roofing | Roofing Services in Hawley, MN 56549

In our Hawley climate, watch for interior signs like water stains on ceilings or in your attic, which often indicate the underlayment barrier has failed. Exterior signs can include curling or buckling shingles, as moisture trapped beneath them warps the decking. If you notice any leaks or suspect damage, it's crucial to have a professional inspection quickly, as a compromised underlayment leaves your entire roof structure vulnerable to rot and more extensive water damage.

Finding an excessive amount of granules (they look like coarse black sand) in your gutters is a common sign of advanced wear, especially after our harsh Minnesota winters and summer sun. Granules protect shingles from UV rays. Significant loss accelerates aging and reduces your roof's lifespan. This isn't just a cosmetic issue; it means your shingles are losing their protective layer. We recommend a professional evaluation to assess the extent of the granule loss and discuss your repair or replacement options.

We design our roof replacements specifically for longevity in West Central Minnesota. This starts with a high-quality synthetic underlayment that provides a superior secondary water barrier compared to traditional felt, offering crucial protection if shingles are ever compromised. We then install premium, impact-resistant shingles with reinforced granule adhesion to better withstand hail, heavy rain, and UV degradation common in our area. Our expert installation ensures proper ventilation and sealing, creating a complete system that defends your home from the inside out.
