Roof Inspection in Marine on St. Croix

Roof Inspection in Marine on St. Croix, Washington County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Marine on St. Croix is a St. Croix River sawmill village with a 450-acre National Register historic district, and we calibrate every visit to that.

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.

Tuned to Marine on St. Croix.

Marine on St. Croix housing runs to 1800s Yankee and Swedish village houses in the historic district, early-1900s cottages and farmhouses, and later custom homes on wooded lots, across the historic village and Marine Mill site, and the wooded parcels along Highway 95, on St. Croix River valley terraces and steep bluffs, with glacial drift uplands above them — and that mix shapes what a roof inspection here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.

Local conditions in Marine on St. Croix

Marine on St. Croix does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Marine on St. Croix sits in Washington 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 we calibrate every Marine on St. Croix visit to find.

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.
Marine on St. Croix has a historic district — what does that mean for an inspection?
A lot. Founded in 1839 as Marine Mills, the city holds the first commercial sawmill site on the St. Croix, and a 450-acre historic district was designated in 1974. Landmarks include the 1870 General Store, 1872 Stone House Museum and the 1888 Village Hall. Older houses can have stone or brick foundations, balloon framing, original windows and cast-iron plumbing. We check foundation and sill condition, wiring and roof age, and drainage on bluff slopes. Preservation rules may shape what repairs are practical.
