Roof Inspection in Alexandria, Douglas County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Alexandria is a lakes-region city of older homes and lakeshore properties.

Local housing

Homes in Alexandria.

Alexandria housing runs to an older city core plus extensive lakeshore property, across the lakes corridor and the historic core, on sandy lake-country soils — and that mix shapes what a roof inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Alexandria

Out in Alexandria, many properties sit beyond city sewer and water on private septic systems and wells, so we flag those for the specialized testing they deserve. Alexandria sits in Douglas County, in EPA Radon Zone 1, and MDH reports more than two in five Minnesota homes have radon levels that pose a significant health risk. Finished basements concentrate radon, and only a 48-hour test tells you the number. Footings here must reach the five-foot depth Minnesota Rules 1303.1600 require in the state's northern frost zone, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle is what drives the settlement cracks, frost heave and ice-dam wear that Alexandria-area homes face.

Questions

Common questions.

Do you walk the roof?
When the pitch, height and covering allow it safely; otherwise we assess from the eaves and a ladder and note the method used.
What roof problems show up here?
Aging shingles, failed flashing, hail damage and ice-dam wear at the eaves are the recurring findings.
Are Alexandria lake homes a different inspection?
Meaningfully, yes. Lakeshore brings shoreline drainage, boathouses and outbuildings, and a lot of properties that started as seasonal cabins. Those conversions often have undersized heating, thin insulation and foundations never built for frost depth.
