Single-story yellow brick rambler with attached garage — Roof Inspection in Duluth, MNDuluth
Local housing

Homes in Duluth.

Duluth housing runs to hillside homes built into the bluffs above Lake Superior, across the steep hillside neighborhoods above the harbor, on steep bedrock-and-clay bluff sites — and that mix shapes what a roof inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Duluth

Duluth averages about 90 inches of snow a year, and maximum temperatures stay at or below freezing for about 100 days, so roofs here work hard. Lake-effect snow, ice dams and repeated freeze-thaw cycles wear on shingles, flashing, valleys and gutters. The city also climbs a steep hillside above Lake Superior, so how each roof sheds snow and water deserves attention. On a roof, the coverings, flashing, penetrations, gutters and attic ventilation and insulation are the usual contributors to ice damming, so they are worth examining, along with remaining life and repairs.

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 Duluth's hillside homes a special case?
Yes — steep lots, older construction and lake-effect weather make grading, foundations and roofs the items to watch, and we inspect them closely.
