That Leak Won't Wait
Neither Should You

• Missing or Lifted Shingles

  Shingles blown off or lifted by high winds leave your roof deck exposed to the elements.

• Leaks & Water Stains

  Water stains on your ceiling or walls are clear indicators that your roof has been compromised.

• Storm Damage

  Hail can bruise shingles and dislodge granules, leading to accelerated wear and tear over time.

• Damaged Flashing

  Cracked or missing flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys is a common source of roof leaks.

How long does a typical roof repair take compared to a full replacement?

Wondering if you're in for a quick fix or a multi-day project? Most targeted repairs, like a section of missing shingles or a flashing failure, are done in a few hours to a single day. A full replacement typically takes a full day or two depending on size and complexity. The scope of the damage is really what determines which situation you're in, and that's exactly what a free inspection will tell you.

Should roof leaks be repaired before winter hits in Minnesota?

Thinking about waiting until spring to deal with that leak? Don't. A leak that goes into winter gets worse, not better. Water that gets into the decking or insulation will freeze and thaw repeatedly all season, widening the damage and making a small repair into a bigger one by the time spring arrives. Getting it fixed before the first freeze is almost always cheaper in the long run.

What is the difference between repairing flashing and replacing it?

Not sure if your flashing issue needs a patch or a full swap? A flashing repair reseals or re-secures existing flashing that's still structurally sound but has a failed seal or minor gap. A full replacement is needed when the metal itself is corroded, bent, or has failed in multiple spots. Both stop the same kind of leak, but a repair on badly deteriorated flashing usually doesn't hold for long.

Can I stay in my home while roof repairs are being done?

Worried you'll need to clear out during the work? For the vast majority of roof repairs, yes, you can stay home the whole time. There's some noise and activity on the roof, but the work stays outside and doesn't disrupt the interior of your home the way a full replacement's tear-off can.

Why do Minnesota roofs wear out faster than homeowners expect?

Surprised your roof needs attention sooner than the shingle warranty implied? Minnesota's combination of hailstorms, heavy snow loads, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles puts more stress on a roof than milder climates do. Add in poor attic ventilation, which is common in older homes, and shingles can age well before their rated lifespan. Regular maintenance checks catch this wear early instead of letting it turn into a surprise repair.
