Real Results, Real Roofs

Stopping an Ice Dam Before It Ruined a Living Room

We caught this one early—a 2023 job in the Kingfield neighborhood that could have turned into a major water damage claim. Here's how a free inspection saved a homeowner thousands.

Location: 3800 block of Bryant Ave S, Kingfield neighborhood, Minneapolis. Year: 2023. The homeowner called us after noticing a small water stain on their second-floor ceiling. They thought it was a plumbing leak. We sent a crew out the same day for a free inspection. What we found: a classic ice dam forming along the south-facing eave, with water backing up under the shingles and into the attic. The shingles were 20-year-old three-tab from a big-box store—brittle, curling, and nearing end of life. We documented everything with photos and a written report, then walked the homeowner through the insurance claim process from start to finish. We handled all the paperwork and the adjuster meeting. The claim covered a full tear-off and re-roof with CertainTeed Landmark Pro shingles in Weathered Wood, plus new ice and water shield along the entire eave line. Total project cost: $8,400. Insurance payout: $8,200 after deductible. The homeowner paid $200 out of pocket for an upgrade to a ridge vent system. We finished the job in three days. No leaks since. That ceiling stain? We patched it for free as a courtesy. This is exactly why we say a free inspection is never a sales pitch—it's a chance to catch problems before they cost you a living room.
