Minneapolis gets heavy snow followed by quick thaws. That cycle pushes water under shingles along the eaves. We see it most on 1920s to 1950s houses in Powderhorn and Longfellow where the original felt underlayment has dried out. When a storm hits, those spots fail first. We replace the damaged felt with ice-and-water shield rated to 40 degrees and add new drip edge before the shingles go back.
Wind often lifts shingles at the ridge and gable ends. Cheap crews skip the ridge vent screws and just slap tar on top. That leaks again the next summer when humidity climbs. We use 1 1/4 inch ring shank nails every six inches along the ridge and re-secure the vent with manufacturer clips. Permits are pulled through Hennepin County for any job over 100 square feet.
Hail hits hardest on south and west slopes near open areas like Lake Harriet or the Mississippi Riverfront. Granule loss shows up as bald spots. We count hits per square and match the existing shingle brand so the color stays uniform. If more than 25 percent of the roof is damaged we advise replacement instead of patching.
Target Field and the North Loop have older flat roofs on commercial buildings that take wind-driven rain under the membrane seams. We heat-weld new TPO patches and add termination bars so the fix holds through another humid summer.
