Sam shares smart homeowner advice—for example, a recent article stresses the importance of roof flashing: the metal strips that channel water away from leak-prone areas like chimneys and valleys. Proper flashing is essential to avoid moisture intrusion and long-term damage.
Clean gutters, inspect roof vents and flashing, and remove debris that survived winter.
Check for missing shingles after storms and trim overhanging branches.
Prepare for snow—inspect seals, attic insulation, and cold-weather joints to avoid ice dams.
Consider scheduling repairs before freeze or inspecting for wind damage early on.
Before hiring any roofer, it’s wise to verify licensing and credentials. The Minnesota Department of Labor & Industry’s Roofing Contractor Licensing page outlines proper license requirements and ensures your contractor meets state standards.
