Roofing contractors in Minneapolis, MN
Minneapolis roofs face two very different threats: summer hail and winter ice dams. The Twin Cities see damaging hail in many summers, and long, snowy winters create ice dams on older homes with warm attics. Extreme cold also limits when shingles can be installed properly.

Local conditions
What damages roofs in Minneapolis
Low-slope porch and addition roofs
Sleeping porches, additions and garages often have low-slope roofs that hold snow and leak at the joint with the main roof.
Ice dams
Warm attics melt snow that refreezes at the eaves. Air-sealing, insulation and ventilation fix the cause; ice-and-water shield limits damage.
Hail
Summer storms bring hail that bruises shingles and dents gutters.
Short season
Most replacements happen April through November.
