Roofing Contractor Serving Chanhassen, MN

1975

Laredo Lane

Fifty years on. Homes here are almost certainly on their second roof and many are on their third. At this age the questions move past shingles to decking condition, ventilation that was never adequate by current standards, and flashing details that have been reworked more than once.

1979

Near Mountain

Wooded, hilly lots with a lot of roof geometry. Complex rooflines mean more valleys, more flashing terminations, and more places for a previous crew to have cut a corner that only shows up years later.

1985

Chanhassen Hills

Roughly forty years old. If the original roof was replaced in the mid 2000s, which is the typical pattern, that replacement is now approaching twenty years and is at the outer edge of what asphalt delivers in this climate.

1987

Lake Susan Hills

Same cycle as Chanhassen Hills, with the added factor that lake proximity means more open wind exposure on at least one elevation. Wind damage on these properties tends to start at the rakes and ridge rather than in the field of the roof.

1993

Trotters Ridge and Springfield

Thirty plus years. An original roof would be well past its service life, so most of these homes have been done once, likely somewhere between 2010 and 2015. Those roofs are middle aged now and worth watching rather than replacing.

2000s

The newer wave

Close to nineteen percent of Chanhassen housing went up between 2000 and 2009. Those homes are now entering the window where the original builder grade roof starts showing granule loss and edge curl, and where a hail event is far more likely to total a roof than damage it.
