With spring on the horizon, ensuring your roof and gutters are well maintained will contribute to a refreshing season ahead.
To get the most out of your roof, it's wise to take a more proactive approach which can extend the lifespan of your roof. An average lifespan of a roof is 15 years, but with these tips you could save years and money on your roof and gutters.
If you are an Eden Prairie homeowner who has ever had water seep off your roof and then damage the foundation of your home, then you know how important it is to have a quality gutter system on the exterior of your home.
Yet surprisingly, there are some homeowners in Eden Prairie and the Twin Cities who do not have gutters around their home, or their current gutter system is old and ineffective.
While on the surface this may not appear to be a big deal, in reality these homes are at risk of over time being exposed to foundational damage due to water penetration.
Spring is here, and now that the snow has melted, you may notice that there are some missing shingles on your roof.
Or maybe you can see a vent near the ridge of your roof that has been dented, as sometimes occurs when people have their roofs shoveled in the winter to prevent ice dams.
In either case, the integrity of your roof hasn’t necessarily been compromised.
There are an array of reasons for why Eden Prairie homeowners decide to install new windows in their home.
Sometimes the current windows are old and need to be replaced in order to protect the home.
Other times homeowners simply want a more modern look to their windows.
Whatever the reason may be, shopping for new windows can be fun, but there are also things that Eden Prairie homeowners should consider before making a large investment.
For some Eden Prairie homeowners, deciding which roofing contractor to choose for their next home improvement project can seem stressful.
Of course, for many years the prevailing notion was that homeowners would invite several contractors out to their home to give estimates for a roof replacement.
From there, some homeowners would choose to partner with the roofing contractor whose bid was the lowest, but selecting a roofer based on price isn’t necessarily a wise decision.
For many Eden Prairie homeowners, the last time they replaced their roof was 15-20 years ago.
Back then, the cost of a new roof might have been $7,000-$10,000, but fast forward to 2023, and the cost of a roof replacement has increased tremendously.
Therefore, if you’re an Eden Prairie homeowner who is looking to replace your roof in 2023, there are a few things you should be aware of.
Okay, so there was just a major hailstorm in Eden Prairie, and you are wondering if your roof was affected.
The first thing you should do is contact a local roofing company and have them come out and inspect your roof for hail damage.
“Don’t go look at the roof yourself,” advises Guy Grussing, the owner of Eden Prairie-based Grussing Roofing.
