Roofing contractor in Plymouth, MN

Plymouth's housing stock is concentrated in the 1970s through 1990s, a period that produced a large volume of homes now carrying roofs that are 30 to 50 years old. Three-tab asphalt shingles installed in the 1980s have a Minnesota lifespan of 15 to 25 years, meaning many Plymouth homes are on their second or even third roof. Architectural shingles from the 1990s are now at or near the end of their rated life. The volume of replacement work in Plymouth is high because so many homes were built in the same era.

Ice dams are a recurring issue in Plymouth's older neighborhoods. Homes built in the 1970s and 1980s often have minimal attic insulation by current standards, which allows heat to escape through the roof deck and melt snow that refreezes at the eaves. When we replace a roof on a Plymouth home with a history of ice dams, we recommend addressing the attic ventilation at the same time. Adding ridge vents and ensuring adequate soffit ventilation reduces the temperature differential that causes ice dams to form.

Plymouth homeowners who are updating the exterior often want to address the interior at the same time. We offer kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, and basement remodeling services alongside our exterior work, which allows homeowners to work with one contractor for multiple projects. This is a practical approach in Plymouth's established neighborhoods, where homes are being updated comprehensively rather than one system at a time.
