The July 2025 storms that put Pope County under a disaster declaration

Starbuck sits in Pope County, and the county took a hard hit on July 27–28, 2025. Commissioners declared a local state of emergency on August 5; an August 20 assessment tallied $318,365 in public-infrastructure damage; and that October the Governor authorized state disaster assistance — after severe flooding, downed trees, and utility damage across the county.

Lakeside winters and ice dams

On the shore of Lake Minnewaska, Starbuck gets the full west-central Minnesota winter. Ice dams form when heat escaping the home melts snow on the upper roof and the runoff refreezes at the colder eaves, working back under the shingles. An inspection can flag exterior damage and the warning signs.

An honest look — even when nothing’s wrong

A storm over Starbuck doesn’t mean your roof is damaged, and we won’t say it is when it isn’t. Plenty of inspections end with no work needed, and we’ll tell you so plainly. That honesty is how we earn the next call.

What we do

Roofing, siding, and storm-damage documentation. Our workmanship carries a 5-year warranty, separate from the manufacturer’s material warranty on what we install. For storm work we document the exterior conditions we observe and prepare a construction scope and repair estimate as your contractor — we don’t interpret insurance coverage, act as your public adjuster, or negotiate your claim.
