Minnesota’s unpredictable weather can take a serious toll on your roof. From ice dams to high winds, understanding how the local climate impacts your home can help you prevent costly repairs. At Solaris Roofing, we help homeowners in Lakeville, Burnsville, and beyond stay protected year-round.
1. Ice Dams Cause Hidden Damage
In winter, ice dams form when snow melts and refreezes at the roof edge. This can push water under your shingles, causing leaks, rotting, and mold. Proper insulation and ventilation are key to avoiding this.
2. Hail Can Crack and Dent Shingles
Hailstorms are common in Minnesota and can destroy shingles, flashing, and gutters. If you’ve had a recent storm, contact Solaris Roofing for a free hail damage inspection before minor issues become major problems.
3. Heavy Snow Adds Dangerous Weight
Minnesota snow isn’t just pretty—it’s heavy. Roofs that aren’t built for it can sag or collapse under pressure. If you see your roofline dipping or hear creaking noises, get an inspection immediately.
4. Spring Storms Bring Wind and Water Damage
When spring rolls around, so do thunderstorms. Strong winds can lift shingles and heavy rain can exploit any weakness. Our roofing experts in Lakeville and Burnsville specialize in storm-proofing homes across Minnesota.
5. Summer Heat Bakes Your Roof
UV rays and heat can break down shingle adhesive and cause cracking. This is especially problematic for older roofs. A cool-roof system or reflective materials can reduce wear—and lower your energy bills.
What Homeowners Should Do
- Schedule seasonal inspections with Solaris Roofing
- Clean your gutters regularly to prevent water backup
- Check your attic for moisture, mold, or insulation gaps
- Act fast after storms—small leaks turn into big bills
