When storms hit, your roof can take a beating, whether it’s from heavy winds, hail, or falling debris. But fret not, because Lake Area Exteriors is here to lend a helping hand to homeowners in Minnesota facing storm damage. And we don’t just do roof repair!

Our Approach to Storm Damage Repair

At Lake Area Exteriors, we don’t just see roofing repairs as a job; we view it as an art form. Established in 2021, our journey began with window washing in 2020, eventually expanding into gutter services. Through these ventures, we gained invaluable insights into the effects of poorly maintained or weathered roofs on homes. Now, we offer top-notch roofing solutions to our community.

Expert Assistance After the Storm

The aftermath of a storm can leave you feeling overwhelmed, unsure of where to start. That’s where we come in. Our team of experts will promptly inspect your roof, siding, and gutters for any storm-related damage, documenting it thoroughly for your insurance claim.

 

What damage are we dealing with?

Damage to your roof, siding, or gutters can have many causes. Once we determine what damage we are working with, we can adequately continue onto the next step.

Hail

Hail Damage is quite hard to spot without the trained eye. The damage from hail can take time and effort to recognize. A hail hit can cause a leak 2 YEARS later with Minnesota’s harsh winters and hot summers!

Wind

Wind from tornados, wind storms, or regular storms can cause shingles to crease or even Come off. Some wind damage cannot be observed from the ground and requires a trained professional to inspect.

Ice dam

When your roof has snow on it, and the heat from your house melts it, the water travels to the eave of the roof, where it typically overhangs and is much cooler from having air running under it and no direct heat coming from the house below, causing ice dams to form and grow.

Navigating the Insurance Process

Dealing with insurance companies can be daunting, but we’ve got your back. We’ll assist you every step of the way, ensuring all necessary documentation is in order. From taking photos of the damage to filing receipts for emergency repairs, we’ll ensure you’re well-prepared when the insurance representative arrives.

 

Inspection for a solution

Once we have determined whether you have damage to your home exteriors, we will walk you through the next steps.

  1. We will contact your insurance provider with you.
    • It is important that we notify your insurance provider ASAP.
    • We will schedule a meeting with an insurance adjuster to review the damage together.
  2. Document the destruction
    • We will assemble a report including many pictures and where the damage came from.
    • This documentation will be useful when filing a claim.​

 

Repair vs. Replacement

While many types of storm damage can be repaired, there are instances where a roof replacement may be necessary. Factors like the roof’s lifespan, material availability, sagging, or signs of moisture penetration into your home will influence this decision. Our goal is always to find the most cost-effective and efficient solution, approved by your insurer.
