Trust Gable Roofing for Your Roofing and Tree Service Needs
Protecting Your Roof from Overhanging Tree Limbs
Overhanging tree limbs can wreak havoc on your shingles. As the wind blows, these limbs can scratch against your roof, causing granules to come off and leading to potential leaks over time. Regular maintenance to trim these limbs is essential to prevent damage and preserve the health of your roof.
Safeguarding Against Storm Damage
Large trees, such as oaks or maples, pose a significant threat during storms with high winds. Heavy branches can break off, potentially landing on your roof and causing severe damage, or worse, penetrating through to your attic. In extreme cases, the entire tree could fall, leading to catastrophic roof failure.

Our team is skilled in assessing and addressing potential risks, ensuring your roof remains secure and your property safe.

Regular tree maintenance is a proactive approach to roof care. Overhanging branches and debris can cause gradual damage to your roof, leading to costly repairs over time.

Weather And It's Effect On Your Roof
1. Heavy Rains
Heavy rain and flooding can be the cause of extreme destruction to your home’s foundation. Excess precipitation and lingering moisture can leave a mess not only around the ground floor’s landscape but also will affect the integrity of your roof.
Of course, rainstorms are one of the most typical weather conditions impacting residential roofing in Minnesota throughout the year. Sudden squalls, which are intense rainstorms localized to one area, are incredibly common in Minnesota and the surrounding states. Some of the standard indicators of rain damage to your roof include:
- Mold or mildew
- Algal growth on shingles
- Displaced shingles or gutter sections
- Holes or gaps in roofing materials
- Rotting wood
- Lingering moisture
- Pools of precipitation
- Weed or vine growth in gutters Proper roofing
Preparation can protect your roof from the impacts of intense, unexpected squalls or a predictable summer thunderstorm. Call your local roofing contractor to learn the best methods to make your roof a reliable barrier between you and the next big rainstorm.
2. High Winds
One of the worst kinds of weather conditions commonly impacting roofing materials in Midwest areas is the wind. Strong, gusty winds blow through the flat, mountain-free Midwestern landscape quickly and forcefully, knocking down structures such as roofs or fences in their path.
Your chosen roofing contractor can suggest modern shingle styles made with built-in nail strips and other unique features. These innovative systems secure each shingle to your roof, stabilizing the structure in case of strong winds or a severe storm.
3. Hail Storms
We’ve all seen them; those wild, golfball-sized chunks of solid icy snow that swarm down throughout the seasons, stirring up some problems for property owners. Hailstorms are typically the top reason homeowners file for insurance claims in America, causing significant damage to the roofing, siding, windows, doors, and more.
Shingles and roofing materials are especially susceptible to hail damage since they are your home’s first line of defense against the elements. Depending on hail particle sizes and the length of the weathering event, roofing damage from hail storms can become extensive (and, unfortunately, expensive). Work with a reliable local roofing and storm damage contractor to assess any destruction that may have occurred during a hailstorm.
4. Snow, Sleet, & Ice
If you currently live in a frigid Midwestern state, you’re likely already familiar with the snow, sleet, and ice that come along in the winter season. When it gets below freezing, your home and property can benefit from a proper winterization plan, protecting different parts of your home from damage due to snow, sleet, ice, and other common winter weather conditions.
Ice dams appear during winter, and rapid snowmelt in spring also make a mess of your lawn’s landscaping, foundations, or even affect the roof. Ice dams occur when water, ice, and snow accumulate on a roof’s edge, often forming long, dangerous icicles. Acquire professional ice dam steaming services to ensure not only all roofing materials but your home’s residents are safe and secure as well.
5. Temperature Fluctuations
Many homeowners forget to take into account the drastic temperature fluctuations frequently found in Midwestern states. Swinging from one extreme temperature to another can cause immense stress on shingles and other roofing elements. Spotting the signs of roofing damage after extreme temperature fluctuations aren’t challenging at all. Inspect your existing roofing structure for common signs of wear, such as:
- Loose, crumbling shingle granules
- Curling, peeling shingle products
- Detached shingles
- Falling or dangling shingles
- Gaps or holes in roofing
- Noticeable lapses in shingling layers
- Fading, discolored shingles
- Un-shingled patches in roof valleys
- Failing shingling around chimneys
After an expert exterior remodeling contractor assesses the extent of damage to your roof due to temperature fluctuations, they can help find reliable solutions that suit your shingle and roofing needs. Schedule a consultation with a trusted roofing contractor to take on the challenges of significant temperature changes.
