FAQs
How can I tell whether my roof or gutters actually need replacement rather than simple repairs?
Warning signs include shingles that are curling, cracking, or missing; granule loss that exposes the shingle mat; roof leaks or water stains inside your attic; sagging gutter sections; rusted or separated gutter seams; and frequent overflow even after cleaning. In Blaine’s freeze-thaw climate, asphalt roofs typically last 18–25 years and standard aluminum gutters 20–25 years. If your roof or gutters are approaching those ages, have been hit by hail, or require repeated patching, a professional inspection is the most cost-effective way to determine whether spot repairs are still viable or full replacement will save money in the long run.
What roofing and gutter materials work best for Blaine’s weather?
We usually recommend architectural asphalt shingles or Class 4 impact-rated shingles because they shed snow, resist hail, and meet most HOA guidelines. For low-slope sections, a fully adhered membrane (such as EPDM or TPO) prevents ice-dam leaks. For gutters, heavy-gauge (.032") seamless aluminum is the local standard, but many Blaine homeowners upgrade to steel or copper for enhanced durability and aesthetics. We add oversized 3"×4" downspouts to move spring downpours quickly and an ice-release drip edge to slow icicle formation. Every system is customized to your roof pitch, tree coverage, and budget.
How long does a combined roof-and-gutter replacement usually take?
Most single-family homes in Blaine can be completed in 1–3 days for the roof and a half-day for new seamless gutters. We typically schedule gutter installation the day after the last shingle is laid so fascia boards are accessible and any flashing is already in place. Severe weather or special-order materials (e.g., designer shingles or copper gutters) can add a day or two, but we give you a realistic timeline up front and keep you updated every step of the way.
Do you take care of permits, inspections, and insurance claims?
Yes. Blaine requires a Building Permit for roof replacement and may inspect ice-and-water shield coverage. We pull all permits, coordinate city inspections, and ensure the project complies with Minnesota Building Code and local amendments. If you’re filing a hail or wind claim, we meet your adjuster on-site, provide photographic documentation, and use the same Xactimate software most insurers use to speed approval. You stay informed but never have to handle the paperwork alone.
Can I replace just the gutters now and the roof later (or vice-versa)?
Technically, yes—but doing both at the same time saves labor and protects your investment. Installing gutters first may result in damage when the roof is later torn off; installing a roof without updating undersized, leaking gutters can void some roofing warranties and shorten the life of fascia boards. When budgets demand phasing, we install temporary gutter guards or drip edge extensions to ensure the first phase isn’t compromised, then credit part of today’s labor toward the future phase.
What warranties and maintenance plans do you provide after installation?
You receive a dual warranty: a manufacturer’s material warranty (up to 50 years non-prorated on select shingles and lifetime on seamless aluminum gutters) and our 10-year workmanship warranty that covers leaks, loose panels, or improper drainage. Six months after completion we perform a free system check, tighten gutter hangers, and inspect flashing for seasonal movement. Affordable annual maintenance plans are available for semi-annual cleaning, ice-dam monitoring, and priority storm-damage service, allowing you to maximize the life of your new roof and gutters.
