Winters here drop below zero and dump heavy snow. That packs into ice dams along the eaves on older homes in Powderhorn and Longfellow. The dams back water under shingles and rot the deck. We see it every year and note the exact shingle brand and layer count when we inspect for a claim.
Hail hits hard in Hennepin County during summer storms. It dents asphalt shingles and knocks granules off. Cheap crews skip the granule test and just slap on sealant. We measure dent size, count hits per square, and flag any code issues with ventilation before the adjuster shows up.
Many roofers skip the permit step on insurance jobs. Hennepin requires a permit for anything over a certain square count and wants ice and water shield along the eaves. We pull the permit, match the existing material spec, and keep photos of every layer we tear off so the claim stays clean.
Wind from storms can lift flashing around chimneys and skylights on homes near the Mississippi Riverfront. Water sneaks in and soaks insulation. We check the underlayment type and note any prior patch work that might void part of the claim.
