Roofing, remodeling and handyman work in Minneapolis

Scroll to watch one house get a new roof, a remodel and a round of repairs.

Roofing and exterior

A Minneapolis roof takes hail in summer and ice in winter. Mark replaces worn roofs and fixes the ones that only need a repair.

  • Asphalt shingle roof replacement
  • Leak and roof repairs
  • Storm and hail damage repair
  • Ice dam problems. An ice dam is a ridge of ice at the roof edge that backs meltwater up under the shingles. The fix is usually better attic ventilation and an ice-and-water barrier, a sticky membrane laid under the shingles.
  • Flashing and chimney leaks. Flashing is the metal that seals the joint where the roof meets a chimney or wall.
  • Roof inspections
  • Gutters and downspouts
  • Soffit and fascia, the boards under and along the roof edge
  • Siding repair

What your house needs this season

General advice, not a quote. Call Mark to look at your house.

Spring

  • Hail damage

    After a hailstorm, look for dented vents, bruised shingles and grit collecting in the gutters.

    Ask about hail damage
  • Gutters and downspouts

    Snowmelt and spring rain need a clear path off the roof and away from the foundation.

    Ask about gutters
  • Stains on the ceiling

    A brown ring that showed up over winter usually means water got in at the roof edge or the flashing.

    Ask about a leak
  • Shingles lifted by winter

    Wind and ice loosen shingles. A few replaced now can keep the wood under them dry.

    Ask about shingles

Summer

  • Roof replacement

    Shingles seal best in warm weather, so summer is when most full roofs get done.

    Ask about a new roof
  • Decks

    Check for soft boards, loose railings and posts that have started to lean.

    Ask about a deck
  • Siding

    Cracked or loose siding lets water in behind it. Dry weather is the time to repair it.

    Ask about siding
  • Three-season porch

    If you want to use it by fall, the work has to start while it's warm.

    Ask about a porch

Fall

  • Gutters before the snow

    Gutters packed with leaves freeze solid, and the ice can pull them off the house.

    Ask about gutters
  • Attic ventilation

    A cold, well-vented attic keeps snow from melting on the roof and refreezing at the edge.

    Ask about ventilation
  • Flashing and the chimney

    Look at the metal around the chimney and vents before it is buried under snow.

    Ask about flashing
  • Doors and windows

    A door that won't latch or a window that won't close costs you heat all winter.

    Ask about a repair

Winter

  • Ice dams

    Big icicles and ice along the roof edge mean meltwater may be backing up under the shingles.

    Ask about ice dams
  • Kitchens and bathrooms

    Indoor work doesn't depend on the weather, so winter suits it.

    Ask about a remodel
  • Basement finishing

    Basement work is all indoors, so it can go ahead in any weather.

    Ask about a basement
  • The indoor list

    Drywall patches, trim and sticking doors are easy to group into one visit.
