First, ensure safety and avoid going onto the roof. Document the damage with photos from the ground. Then, contact a local roofer like us for a thorough inspection. In Minneapolis, wind often lifts shingles and compromises flashing. A professional assessment is crucial to prevent hidden water intrusion that can lead to more severe issues like mold or structural rot. We provide emergency tarping if needed and a detailed repair plan using materials suited for our local weather.

Skylight leaks are common here due to our freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and intense sun, which can degrade seals and flashing over time. The fix isn't just caulking; it often requires a complete resealing or re-flashing of the unit by a specialist. At Walek Tom Roofing, we diagnose whether the issue is with the skylight itself, the surrounding roof deck, or the step flashing, ensuring a lasting repair that withstands Minnesota's specific climate challenges.

Immediately. Even minor wind damage can create an entry point for water. In our climate, trapped moisture quickly leads to roof deck rot, insulation damage, and interior mold. We recommend scheduling an inspection within days of a major storm. As a local contractor, we prioritize storm-damage repairs and can often provide temporary protections immediately, followed by a permanent, code-compliant repair that fortifies your roof against future Minneapolis weather.
