Roofing Insights: Expert Tips & Industry News
Whenever you’re about to spend thousands of dollars on a project for your home, it’s a good idea to do your research before the project starts. In fact, when it comes to your roof, you should ask questions before you even hire a contractor.

This includes the fascia, soffits, windows, doors, gutters, and downspouts.
April showers may bring May flowers, but they can also cause issues if your gutters aren’t cleaned and maintained properly.
Winter weather can be tough on roofs. Ice dams, the freeze-thaw cycle, and the sheer weight of snow all pose risks.
Imagine a Minnesota winter without snow and ice. There would be no snowmobiling, sledding, snowmen, or snowball fights. Ice skating and ice fishing would not be possible. It’s a pretty bleak picture. Snow and ice certainly have their positives, but they can also combine to create a very real, bleak situation: ice dams on your roof.
Winter in Minnesota gets a bad rap. What are the pros and cons of installing siding in the colder months?
