Your First Call After the Storm
When severe weather hits, your first priority is stopping active damage and your second is choosing a partner you can trust. As local Minnesota experts who live and work in the communities we repair, we step in immediately to stabilize your home with any necessary tarping or leak mitigation. From there, we work directly with your insurance carrier to ensure your roof isn't just patched, but fully restored with high-performance materials and above-code installation. We top it off with our Customer for Life pledge, providing you a lifetime warranty on our workmanship.
Our Home Solution An EZ Repair Process
We perform a full home exterior inspection, capturing high-res photos of hail bruises, wind-lifted shingles, and any other compromised areas. We'll give you our honest assessment and recommendation for next steps.
If our inspection confirms significant damage, we walk you through the process of filing a claim with your carrier. When the insurance company arrives, we'll meet them on-site to ensure their initial report is accurate.
Once the initial estimate is issued, our dedicated insurance desk will work alongside the carrier to include every code-required item and material needed for a "Pre-Loss" restoration.
With the claim approved and the scope locked in, our crews execute the repair. Efficient, high-quality workmanship backed by our lifetime labor warranty.
We don't consider the job done until we’ve performed a final quality walkthrough. We also provide the final documentation your carrier needs to release the depreciation funds.
We Understand Insurance Claims
The insurance process is designed to be confusing. We’re here to clear the air. We've dedicated decades to learning the insurance "know-how." We know the local laws. We know how to prepare all the documentation. We speak their language with Xactimate line-items. All to ensure your insurance carrier brings your home back to pre-loss conditions.
Roof Tarping & Emergency Care
If a storm has left your home's interior vulnerable, our first job is to "stop the bleed." We provide rapid-response tarping and structural stabilization to protect your family and belongings. Taking immediate action is a critical step in proving to your insurance company that you've fulfilled your "duty to protect" the property.
Ice Dam Removal
While icicles coming off the roof may look pretty, they are a sign of a much deeper problem. Caused by a freeze-thaw cycle and a roof that isn't regulating its temperature properly, ice dams are a leading cause of roof leaks and massive interior water damage. We utilize industrial-grade steamers to safely melt the ice and clear your gutters without damaging your shingles or voiding your warranty.
The EZ Way Done Once. Done Right. Done EZ.

We go above-code on our waterproofing, installing extra ice & water shield at every vent, chimney, valley, and wall-meet.
Clean Guarantee
We use tarps, dump trailers, and magnetic sweeps to leave your yard cleaner than we found it.
Some of the common signs that you are in need of emergency roof repair for your home include:
- Wind has torn off your shingles: A large gust of wind in the right direction, especially for older shingles, can pose a risk to your home. Once the underside of your shingles has been exposed, you could experience a leak.
- There has been an impact on the roof: From trees to branches to other debris, your roof is at risk from impacts during a windstorm or a snowstorm. These impacts can remove roofing and puncture the underlayment that’s designed to protect your home from leaks.
- You have had a lot of ice and snow: The freeze-thaw cycle can erode your roofing and lead to leaking.
Because these problems usually worsen quickly and leave your home at risk, it is important to address them immediately.
In Minnesota, hail impacts fracture shingle matting and strip protective granules, while high wind shear lifts shingles and breaks factory seal strips. Damage isn't uniform across a neighborhood. Factors like roof age, shingle quality, installation methods, pitch, tree coverage, and storm angle all dictate how severe the impact is.
Because most standard shingles struggle to withstand hail larger than 1", critical compromise is often completely invisible from the ground. Left unaddressed, hidden damage leads to rotten decking and costly interior leaks down the road. This is why having a local expert conduct a thorough inspection after a major storm is essential to protecting your home and preserving your insurance coverage rights.
