As temperatures drop and Halloween arrives, Minnesota homeowners are racing to prepare their roofs for winter’s challenges. Recently, Shelter Construction completed a roof replacement project in Robbinsdale that showcases the importance of timely roof upgrades before the cold sets in. Our team transformed a damaged, worn-out roof into a durable, impact-resistant solution using TAMKO’s Titan XT shingles in the bold color of Thunderstorm Grey.
Assessing the Damage: Why This Robbinsdale Roof Needed Replacement
The original roof had suffered years of wear, showing visible signs of damage that left the home vulnerable to Minnesota’s harsh winter weather. With cracked and worn shingles, the roof’s lifespan was clearly ending, putting the home at risk of leaks, ice dams, and further structural damage.
We arrived early, quickly tore off the old roofing materials, and prepared the deck for a fresh start.
New Roofing Solution: TAMKO Titan XT in Thunderstorm Grey
For the new roof, we used TAMKO Titan XT Class 3 impact-resistant shingles in Thunderstorm Grey. These shingles are engineered to withstand high impacts and adverse weather, making them ideal for Minnesota homes. The color Thunderstorm Grey adds a modern, polished look to the home, blending beautifully with the Robbinsdale neighborhood and giving the home a fresh and sturdy appearance.
Impact-resistant shingles like Titan XT not only enhance the durability of a roof but also bring financial perks. The homeowners in Robbinsdale will likely qualify for insurance premium discounts thanks to the roof’s Class 3 impact rating, which provides extra protection against hail and severe weather.
Replacing Ice and Water Shield for Maximum Protection
In accordance with Minnesota building code, we also installed a new ice and water shield to protect the roof from ice dams and water infiltration. Minnesota’s code requires this underlayment as an extra barrier on all new roofing projects to protect against the freeze-thaw cycles typical of winter. Our ice and water installation photos showcase this step, an essential aspect of preparing Robbinsdale homes for winter weather.
Efficient One-Day Completion
With winter right around the corner, completing this Robbinsdale roofing project efficiently was essential. Our skilled crew finished the entire roof replacement in a single day, minimizing disruption for the homeowners and ensuring their roof was ready for the first snowfall. Completing projects quickly and correctly is a priority at Shelter Construction, especially as colder temperatures make roofing projects more challenging.
Halloween Tips: Prepare Your Roof for Winter
With Halloween here, it’s a great reminder to avoid any roofing tricks by ensuring your home is properly protected. A strong roof and proper insulation will keep you warm and safe from winter weather “ghouls” like ice dams and leaks. At Shelter Construction, we’re ready to provide Robbinsdale residents with roofing solutions that stand the test of time—and the test of Minnesota winters.
