Shallow pitch buys water more time
The median build year here is about 1990, so most of town is late century ranch and split level. Two things follow from that. The pitches are shallow, which means wind driven rain and blown snow get more chances to work under a course, and ice dams sit longer at the eave. And the garage to house valleys are long, which is where we find the most worn out roofs: granule loss down the center, underlayment gone brittle, sometimes a rusted valley metal that was never replaced. On a tear-off we run ice and water membrane up those valleys and past the eave line. Homeowners on these roofs sometimes ask about cedar shake roofing, and on a shallow plane with heavy snow load we will usually talk you out of it.
What roofing in Stewartville actually involves
Tornado damage documented, not guessed
The April 17, 2026 EF2 left about 22 homes in town with some level of damage, and wind damage is easy to miss from the ground. We lift and check for creased tabs and lifted nail lines, then photograph each slope for the adjuster.
A long slow run to a cold gutter
A shallow ranch plane moves meltwater slowly, so it is still traveling when it reaches the overhang and it stops there. We carry membrane well past the interior wall line at that edge, and we look at whether the attic above is warm enough to be melting the snow in the first place.
Garage to house valley rebuilds
Split level plans in town run a long valley from the garage roof into the main house, and that seam takes the water off two planes. We rebuild it with new metal and membrane rather than lacing shingles over a channel that is worn.

Stewartville questions
What homeowners here ask us most. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
Should I file a wind claim after the Stewartville tornado?
If your address was in the path northeast of town on April 17, 2026, it is worth an inspection. Wind damage often looks like nothing from the driveway and shows up as creased tabs and backed out nails once you are on the roof. We document what is there. If the roof came through it, we say so.
Why does the valley by my garage always leak first?
Because it drains two roof planes into one channel, and on a split level that channel is long and shallow. Debris packs into it, the granules wear off the shingles that line it, and the metal underneath rusts where water stands. A tear-off should include new valley metal and membrane, not just new shingles laid over the same channel.
It is January and the roof is leaking. Do we wait for spring?
Not if it is leaking. We can install cold, hand sealing the tabs so they hold until the sun does that job, and on a shallow plane the snow has to come off first, which adds to the day. If the roof is only tired rather than open, spring gives a better result and a shorter day for the crew, and we will say so rather than book you in February.
