Frequently Asked Questions
How do Minnesota winters affect my roof?
Minnesota winters are some of the harshest in the country for roofing. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles cause shingles to crack and curl, heavy snow loads put stress on the roof structure, and ice dams form when heat escapes through the attic and refreezes at the eaves — forcing water back under shingles and into your home. Regular inspections after winter and after major storms are the best way to catch damage early.
What causes ice dams and how do I prevent them?
Ice dams form when warm air from inside your home heats the roof deck, melting snow that then refreezes at the colder eaves. Over time, the backed-up water works its way under shingles and causes interior leaks. Proper attic insulation and ventilation are the long-term fix. If you’re already seeing ice dams or water stains on your ceiling, call us — we can assess whether there’s underlying damage that needs to be addressed.
How soon after a hail or wind storm should I have my roof inspected in Minnesota or Wisconsin?
As soon as possible — ideally within a few days of the storm. Insurance companies have claim windows, and waiting too long can make it harder to document storm-related damage versus normal wear. Storm Shield Exteriors provides free post-storm inspections across the Twin Cities metro and western Wisconsin and can help you through the insurance process if damage is found.
