Proven Maintenance Plans in Chanhassen, MN
The National Weather Service forecast office and its Doppler radar sit on Lake Drive West in Chanhassen, which means the storm reports for this town are logged in this town. What that does not do is tell you whether your drains are open. On a wooded commercial lot, the answer changes every October, and the only way to know is to go up and look.

What a year of visits looks like here
We work a Chanhassen building twice a year, plus after any storm that puts hail on the ground. Spring: pull the strainers, check the sumps, probe seams and the base flashing where a second story wall meets a lower roof plane, and look for hail bruising that has not opened yet. The fall visit waits for the oaks, usually late October, because a drain that passes in September is packed by Halloween. Most of what we find is small. A lifted lap, a split pitch pan, a cracked bead at a rooftop unit curb. Those get fixed on the visit. Cost follows the number of penetrations and the canopy hanging over them. On an older roof we will suggest a commercial certified roof assessment first, so the schedule is built on what is actually up there.
Maintenance Plans in Chanhassen
What a Chanhassen plan actually covers
Drains sized for a cloudburst
Five and a half inches of rain fell here in one night in August 2020. We check that every drain, sump and overflow scupper can move water at that rate before the next one.
Leaf load cleared before winter
Wooded lots around Lotus Lake and Carver Beach drop a heavy load in October. Our fall visit is timed after that, not before it, so the drains go into freeze up clear.
Damage documented for the insurer
We do storm and insurance work, so when a visit turns up hail bruising or wind lifted metal we photograph it, note the date and the storm, and hand you something an adjuster can use.
Wall to roof junctions watched
Chanhassen buildings from the 1990s and 2000s often set a taller wall right on a lower roof. That junction moves with temperature, and the base flashing there is the first thing we check each spring.
Ponding checked after the rain stops
Water still standing two days after a storm is telling you the deck has moved or the drain sits high. We note where it holds and how deep, visit to visit, so slow trouble stays visible.
Small repairs done on the visit
A lifted lap or a cracked pitch pan gets sealed while we are on the roof. You are not waiting for a second trip to fix something that takes ten minutes.
How we run a maintenance route
Eden Prairie is ten minutes out
Our shop is straight up Highway 5 from you. A scheduled visit is easy for us to keep, and an unscheduled one does not take a day to arrange.
A written record every visit
You get the same list each time with photos, so this year's roof can be compared to last year's instead of described from memory.
We stage off your parking
Retail and office tenants keep using the door. We set the ladder and the debris tarp where they are out of the way and we clean the lot before we leave.
Someone answers at 2 AM
We are open 24 hours, seven days. If water shows up in a suite overnight, the call goes to a roofer and not to a message box.
Estimates are free and plain
The first walk and the written scope cost nothing and carry no obligation. If your roof does not need a plan yet, we will tell you that instead.

Questions from Chanhassen building owners
What people in Chanhassen ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
How often should a commercial roof in Chanhassen be inspected?
Twice a year for most buildings, plus a look after any severe storm. Spring catches winter damage and hail from the season before. The fall visit waits until the oaks around town have dropped, usually late October, so the drains go into freeze up clear. Buildings with heavy tree cover or a lot of rooftop equipment sometimes want a third stop.
Do you actually clear the drains or just report them?
We clear them. Strainers come off, the sump gets cleaned out, and the leaf pack in the downspout or the internal leader gets pulled while we are there. Reporting a plugged drain and leaving it plugged helps nobody. If a leader is blocked deep in the building, we say so and quote that separately.
Our roof took hail in 2020 and never leaked. Is it fine?
Maybe not. Golf ball hail bruises a membrane without opening it, and the mat under the surface fractures. Two or three winters of freeze and thaw later, the bruise splits. That is the failure we look for on a first walk in Chanhassen, because the August 9, 2020 storm hit a lot of roofs here at once.
