Insurance claims in Minneapolis usually start with hail dents or wind-lifted shingles after summer storms. We check the roof deck for rot caused by the humid summers and the ice dams that form when cold winters hit. Many homes in the Phillips and Camden areas still have old 3-tab shingles that crack under repeated freeze-thaw cycles. A common mistake cheap crews make is skipping ice-and-water shield along the eaves, which leads to leaks the next winter.
Hennepin County requires a permit for any full roof replacement, even when insurance pays. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection so the job passes code. Architectural shingles with a 130 mph wind rating hold up better here than standard 3-tab. We also add ridge vent when the old one is missing or blocked, which cuts heat buildup in the attic during July and August.
After the claim is approved we order the shingles and underlayment. The crew tears off the old layers down to the deck, replaces any bad plywood, then lays synthetic underlayment before the new shingles go on. We finish the edges with drip edge and step flashing at walls so meltwater from spring snow does not back up. Most single-family homes in the 1,200 to 1,800 square foot range take three working days once materials arrive.
Call 612-555-0199 for a same-day inspection if your roof took recent hail or wind damage. We document everything for the adjuster and can start work the day after approval in most cases.
