The most common issue with roofs in this area is moss and algae. Due to the amount of tree cover, the moss and algae feed off the limestone in the shingles. This is why we suggest using products like Atlas Pinnacle Pristine shingles in this area. Atlas uses a higher 3M developed copper granule content in the shingles to keep algae from feeding off the limestone. Moss remains an issue for homes even today.

Weather is another main issue that affects the whole region. High winds, fluctuating temperatures, snow accumulation, and ice dams are all reasons to make sure your roof is in good shape.

Kind of, because of the lake and the beautiful area, there are more high-end homes in the area. Custom homes tend to have their challenges with many roof lines and valleys. The roof system is usually an afterthought when designing a house. We've seen valleys that run into walls and areas where there is no way to vent the attic space. We look at these areas and come up with solutions to address the problems.

This is a valid question since it's a lot easier to provide customer service when you're close by. Chris Burtman is one of our salesmen who lives in the area. He and his family live in Hugo, MN, and knows the White Bear Lake area very well. Our crew is used to driving to the White Bear Lake area (and further) for projects.
