What roof issues are common on Faribault homes?

Faribault's climate and older housing stock produce a recognizable set of roof issues. Our long winters bring ice dams at the eaves that force water under shingles, while summer storms and the occasional hail event common across southern Minnesota damage shingles and flashing. On older homes we often find roofs at or past their service life, multiple shingle layers stacked from past reroofs, worn or missing flashing around chimneys and valleys, deteriorated soffit and fascia from prior ice-dam water, and inadequate attic ventilation that shortens shingle life and worsens ice dams. Complex rooflines from decades of additions create extra valleys and trouble spots. During the inspection we evaluate the roof covering, flashing, gutters, and the attic side for leaks, staining, and ventilation, walking the roof when it's safe or using other methods when it isn't, and we always tell you what we could and couldn't access. Knowing how much roof life remains is a major budgeting and negotiating factor. To have a Faribault roof inspected, call us or build a free instant quote online.
