Living in Minnesota means dealing with harsh winters, summer hailstorms, and dramatic temperature shifts — all of which take a toll on your roof. If you’re a homeowner in the Twin Cities metro, here’s what to watch for before small roof problems become major headaches.
1. Shingles Cracking or Curling After Cold Snaps
Subzero temperatures followed by warmups can cause shingles to warp or crack — especially on older homes in cities like Bloomington or Maple Grove.
2. Water Spots on Your Ceiling After Snowmelt
Got yellowish stains or peeling paint in the ceiling corners? That’s a classic sign of a leak caused by ice dams, a common issue across central and northern Minnesota.
3. Granules in the Gutters After a Storm
Heavy spring rains in areas like St. Cloud or Rochester often wash off shingle granules. These tiny particles protect your roof — losing them is a big red flag.
4. Visible Sagging or Uneven Rooflines
Snow loads in Duluth or Brainerd can put strain on your roof deck. If it looks bowed or sloped oddly, structural repairs may be needed.
5. Recent Hailstorms in Your County
Minnesota sees over a dozen hail events each year. Even pea-sized hail can crack shingles. If your county was hit, get an inspection — even if everything looks fine.
