Frequently Asked Questions

What causes ice dams to form on Twin Cities roofs?

Heat escaping through your roof deck melts snow on the roofline. That water runs down to the eave, where it refreezes into a dam.

Our freeze-thaw cycles make them common. We inspect underlayment, ice-and-water shield, and ventilation to prevent future dams.

How often should I have my roof inspected?

Annual inspections catch damage early. Late-spring hailstorms damage shingles and flashing. Winter causes granule loss on asphalt shingles. Our free estimate includes a full inspection.

Small issues like missing ridge caps or damaged counter-flashing become costly leaks if ignored.

What roofing materials do you install?

We install asphalt shingles, metal panels, TPO membrane, EPDM, and architectural shingles. Asphalt suits most homes. Metal and standing-seam panels work for modern roofs.

Flat roofs use TPO or modified bitumen. Each has different durability and cost. We explain your options clearly.

Do you assist with insurance claims?

Yes. Hail and wind damage usually qualify for coverage. We document damage, provide estimates, and work with adjusters.

Our team handles supplemental claims if damage exceeds initial assessments. We walk you through the claim deadline and proof of loss. No surprises—transparent pricing.

What's the difference between repair and replacement?

Repair patches localized damage: missing shingles, flashing, or small leaks.

Replacement means a tear-off—we remove everything, install new underlayment and sheathing, then lay new shingles or metal panels. Replacement lasts 20-30 years.

Repair works if damage is isolated. We give you honest guidance.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Tear-off and replacement takes 2-5 days depending on roof size. Our crew uses safety harnesses and scaffolds.

Rain stops work, and we protect the deck with tarps. We haul debris daily. Your new roof passes inspection and includes our workmanship warranty.
