After a Morris-area storm — what to look for

From the ground, check for displaced or missing shingles, dented gutters and downspouts, damaged siding, fallen debris, and any new interior water staining. Please don’t climb onto a wet, icy, or storm-damaged roof — that’s exactly what an inspection is for.

Winter exposure: snow load and ice dams

Stevens County sits in Minnesota’s 50-pound-per-square-foot ground-snow-load region on the state’s residential design map — a real structural factor here. Ice dams are a separate, moisture problem: heat escaping through the home warms the upper roof, melts snow, and the runoff refreezes at the colder eaves, where trapped water can work back under the shingles. An inspection can flag exterior damage and visible warning signs — though attic insulation and air-sealing may also need a look.

How we inspect — and why honest findings matter

A storm passing over your address doesn’t automatically mean your roof is damaged, and we won’t say it is when it isn’t. Not every inspection turns up damage — and when it doesn’t, that’s exactly what we tell you. A clean bill on your roof is a good, honest outcome, and it’s how a homeowner comes to trust the next call years down the road. We look, we document what’s actually up there, and we give you the truth of it.

What we do in Morris

Roofing (repair and full replacement), siding, and storm-damage documentation.
