Roof Inspection in Loretto

Roof Inspection in Loretto, Hennepin County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Loretto is a small rail-era town of older homes surrounded by Medina's acreage country.

A roof inspection evaluates the covering, flashing, penetrations and drainage and gives an honest read on remaining service life — including the ice-dam wear and hail bruising Minnesota weather leaves behind.

Local housing

Homes in Loretto.

Loretto housing runs to older rail-town homes, across the compact old town grid, on flat till amid Medina's wetland country — and that mix shapes what a roof inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Loretto

Out in Loretto, many properties sit beyond city sewer and water on private septic systems and wells, so we flag those for the specialized testing they deserve. Loretto sits in Hennepin 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 3-1/2-foot depth Minnesota Rules 1303.1600 set for the southern frost zone, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle is what drives the settlement cracks, frost heave and ice-dam wear that Loretto-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.
Is a house in Loretto a good value from an inspection standpoint?
That depends on the house, not the town. Small older homes can be cheap to maintain when the roof, furnace, wiring and foundation are sound, and expensive when they are not. The inspection shows which category a house falls in, so you can decide whether to negotiate repairs or move on.
Do you cover Loretto?
Yes — the small rail-era town's older housing gets the same full instrumented inspection as the custom acreage surrounding it.
