Shoreview, Minnesota
Dependable Roofing Company in Shoreview, MN
Seven lakes and a lot of 1970s and 1980s houses make Shoreview roofs busier than they look from the street. Multi level elevations, several gable ends, and valleys landing over garage and entry bump outs. On a lakefront block, one of those elevations faces open water with nothing at all standing in front of it.

What open water does to one elevation
Turtle, Snail, Owasso and Island are the largest of the seven lakes here, and a house on any of them takes wind on one side with no break in front of it. That elevation loses tabs at the rake and the ridge first, and driven rain finds the wall underneath them. Shoreview knows what the extreme version looks like: the F1 tornado of May 15, 1998 cut a twelve mile swath mostly inside the city, destroyed nineteen homes, damaged about 130 severely and took down thousands of trees. So we fasten for the exposure a house actually has. Where driven rain has got behind a failing edge and softened the wall, our vinyl siding replacement covers the elevation that is actually failing rather than wrapping all four sides to make a package.
What roofing in Shoreview actually involves
The lake side gets fastened differently
A plane facing Turtle, Snail or Island takes wind with nothing to slow it. Starter course, rake edge and ridge fastening on that elevation are specified for the exposure rather than copied from the sheltered side of the house.
Valleys land where the house steps out
On these 1970s and 1980s houses the valleys come down over garage and entry bump outs, the busiest water on the roof and the spot most often patched. We run metal there instead of weaving shingles across the seam.
Upper walls need a kickout
Multi level houses run a lower roof plane straight into a second story wall. That junction wants step flashing and a kickout at the bottom, and a missing kickout is what quietly soaks the siding and the sheathing behind it.

Shoreview questions
What homeowners here ask us most. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
Does a lakefront house in Shoreview need a different roof spec?
On one elevation, yes. The side facing Turtle, Snail, Owasso or Island takes wind with nothing in front of it, so starter, rake edge, ridge and the fastening pattern all matter more there. The sheltered sides can run the standard spec. We show that difference on the quote so you can see where the work went.
How do you handle a wind damage claim in Shoreview?
The 1998 tornado is the extreme case, but ordinary wind here creases and lifts tabs without tearing them off, and creased tabs are exactly what adjusters argue about. We photograph the creases, the ridge and the soft metal, write a scope, then meet the adjuster on the roof so the report is not written from the driveway.
Should I replace siding and roofing at the same time?
If both are near the end and the same elevation takes the weather, usually yes. The wall under a wind exposed roof edge tends to fail on the same clock, and doing them together means one setup and flashing that ties in properly. If the siding still has real life left in it, we will tell you to wait.
