Roofing Contractor in St. Louis Park, MN

Experienced Roofing Contractor Serving St. Louis Park Homeowners

St. Louis Park grew almost overnight after World War II. According to the St. Louis Park Historical Society, about 60 percent of the city’s homes were built between 1946 and 1954, and 2,700 new homes went up in 66 new subdivisions between 1950 and 1956 alone. Neighborhoods like Cedarcrest, Westwood Hills and Aquila are full of story-and-a-half bungalows, ramblers and split-levels that are now 70 years old or more. On houses that age, a new roof is more than shingles: we check the decking, install ice and water barrier at the eaves and fix attic ventilation that was never designed for today’s insulation. Story-and-a-half homes with finished attic rooms are especially prone to ice dams, so we pay close attention to ventilation along the knee walls.

Storm Damage and Ice Dams in St. Louis Park

St. Louis Park gets the same severe-weather season as the rest of the Twin Cities: spring and summer thunderstorms with hail and high winds, then long winters with heavy snow and ice. On older homes, the problems we find most often are wind-lifted or missing shingles, hail bruising that can’t be seen from the ground, and ice dams at the eaves.

The city requires permits and inspections for all storm-related roofing repairs, which protects you when you hire a contractor after a storm. If a storm has come through your neighborhood, a free inspection with photos will tell you whether there’s damage worth reporting to your insurance company, and most policies set deadlines for claims, so it’s worth checking sooner rather than later.

Recent St. Louis Park Project

This story-and-a-half stucco home is typical of St. Louis Park’s older neighborhoods. We did a complete tear-off and installed new shingles on the main roof, new valley and chimney flashing, and a new low-slope roof on the rear section.
