When you hire a company to do work on your home, what do you look for? For many, the three most important factors are price, service and quality of work. The truth is, however, when you hire a company to be on your property performing a service that you cannot complete, the most important factor to consider may actually be trust. Can you trust the company to give you a fair price? Can you trust the customer to provide you with the service you deserve and do the job correctly? Unfortunately, you cannot always trust companies not to take advantage of you in at least one of those areas. This is exactly what has inspired us to stand out

Another calendar year is coming to an end, and we all know what that means – we are coming upon another Minnesota winter. Minnesota weather can often mean severe weather. Severe weather is more intense and can take a much harsher toll on our homes than normal, temperate weather. In Minnesota, the challenges of the cold weather months are falling temperatures, snow, ice, and wind. Combined, those weather phenomena can spell disaster–or at least minor damage–to the structure of an otherwise solidly built home. The accumulation of ice and snow on a roof can lead to the formation of ice dams, which form when the frozen precipitation accumulates on the warm roof of your home, expanding as it refreezes Read Full Post

Your gutter system is built to blend into the exterior of your home and not be noticed. While they are not exactly hidden, you may not even notice them when you are looking at a home across the street, or on a Sunday afternoon drive. You may not think about your own gutter system very often either, until it is time to climb the ladder and clean them out periodically! Your gutters perform a very important function – to allow water to flow away from your home so that it does not pool on your roof or property and cause costly water damage. You should make sure to take note of your gutter systems Read Full Post

Snow is just a part of life in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. There is really nothing to do about it, just prepare. For most of the year, our team installs and repairs seamless gutter systems, but as winter approaches, we want to share another service that we offer. Ice dams are an issue in our area each and every winter and can cause serious roof damage to your home. In addition to seamless gutter design and installation, we also specialize in roofing repair, and ice dam prevention and removal in St Paul.
An ice dam can form when the snow and ice that falls melts and then refreezes on your roof. One potential cause for this is that your attic may be too warm. The warm air from your attic melts the ice and snow and then more snow and ice falls, outdoor temperatures drop Read Full Post

The leaves are turning, temperatures are falling, and it is getting darker earlier. What does that mean? Winter is on its way. This year, we have had cold temperatures even sooner than some years, so it is time to prepare your home for winter. Here are some things you can do now to protect your home from the winter weather that is on its way:
1. Repair your gutter system: Your gutter system is the key to pushing water away from your roof and foundation, which prevents water damage. If you have standard gutters, you will need to have your gutters cleaned well before winter so that water can continue to flow through easily. If your gutter system is in need of replacement, a seamless or leafless gutter system is a great investment. Read Full Post

Fall is here. The leaves have started to turn to beautiful shades of autumn. Soon, those red, orange and yellow leaves will begin to fall as winter approaches. For many, raking leaves is not the most fun fall outdoor activity, but it has to be done before the snow and ice arrive. The other thing that happens with leaves this time of year is that when they fall, they inevitably fall into the gutters that are attached to your home. Your standard gutter system is not built for the leaves that fall – they are made to allow water to flow away from your home, to protect it from water damage. When leaves fall into your gutters, they get in the way of the water that needs to run through and can get clogged up and cause water to back up onto your roof, or to leak from the seams of your gutters.
