There’s no exact number of days for every roof replacement. A straightforward home may only need one to three days, while a larger or more complicated roof can take longer. Old roofing may also need to come off first, and the condition underneath can change the amount of work involved. Weather can affect the schedule as well, particularly during Minnesota’s colder seasons.

Yes, you definitely shouldn't wait on it. Even if a storm just knocks off a few shingles or dents some metal, water will find a way in. Once it gets past the outer layer, you're looking at attic rot and ceiling stains inside the house. Having Unique Exterior LLC come take a look right away keeps a small fix from turning into a massive headache.

Small jobs, like fixing a leaky pipe boot or swapping out a handful of missing shingles, usually run somewhere between $300 and $1,000. If a tree branch punched through or water destroyed a whole section of wood decking, it'll naturally cost more, sometimes $1,500+. We always give you a clear price upfront so there aren't any surprises when we finish.

Business owners in Harris have a lot of good options nowadays. Fiber cement panels, heavy commercial vinyl, engineered wood, and metal cladding are the main ones. Metal and fiber cement are super popular for shop fronts and offices because they don't catch fire easily and take a beating. We handle both repairs and full installs on all of them.

Siding that keeps cracking, warping, coming loose, or showing serious fading deserves a closer look. You may also notice moisture problems, rot, gaps, or areas that need repair again and again. Those issues don't always mean the whole building needs new siding, though. An inspection can help determine whether siding repair will do the job or replacement makes more sense.

Fiber cement (like James Hardie) and steel siding are hands-down the toughest things you can put on a house in Minnesota. Fiber cement doesn't rot, bugs hate it, and freezing winters won't crack it. Steel siding is great too because hail just bounces right off it. Unique Exterior LLC installs a lot of both for homeowners who want something built to last.

Engineered wood (like LP SmartSide) and fiber cement are huge hits in Harris because they give you that authentic wood look without rotting in the snow. If you're looking to save some money, insulated vinyl is another great option that helps keep heating bills down. We can walk you through the pros and cons of each for your specific house.

Ice dams need more care than simply chopping away at the ice. A professional will first see how much ice has formed and where it is affecting the roof or drainage. The right removal method can clear the buildup without unnecessarily damaging shingles. Unique Exterior LLC provides snow removal on roof services to help deal with heavy winter buildup.

The easiest short-term fix is pulling snow off the bottom edges of your roof with a roof rake after big storms. Long-term, you need to stop heat from escaping into your attic, which means fixing air leaks and adding proper insulation. We also come out to clear snow off roofs if you don't want to get up on a ladder yourself.
