Can Minnesota Hail Crack Skylight Domes Without Breaking Glass?
ByTed Sellers September 25, 2026September 25, 2026

Yes. Minnesota hail can crack an outer acrylic bubble while a separate inner pane stays intact. That only applies to layered units; some domes have no inner pane, the inner layer isn’t always glass, and hail can damage the frame or flashing instead. An intact pane doesn’t confirm that the skylight is watertight. Key Takeaways…

ByTed Sellers September 23, 2026September 23, 2026

A roof workmanship warranty covers defects caused by the contractor’s installation, such as misplaced fasteners, faulty flashing, or failed membrane seams, if those items fall within its written terms.

Can Ice Dams Form Over Unheated Garages in Minnesota?
ByTed Sellers September 19, 2026September 19, 2026

Yes. Ice dams over unheated garages can still form in Minnesota. A heated garage isn’t required because the roof deck, not garage air, controls melting snow. Heat from the connected home can warm part of the roof deck through an attic, shared wall, duct chase, or ceiling gaps. Runoff then reaches the cold eave and…

Can Wind Damage Roof Trusses Without Cracking the Roof Deck?
ByTed Sellers September 18, 2026September 18, 2026

Yes. Hidden truss damage can occur even when the roof deck has no obvious crack and the shingles remain attached. Uplift forces can strain chords, loosen connector plates, or pull roof-to-wall connections loose. An attic inspection must evaluate the roof trusses because the surface alone can’t confirm sound framing. After high winds, a straight roofline,…

Are Metal Roof Ice Dams Different From Shingle Ice Dams?
ByTed Sellers September 16, 2026September 16, 2026

Short answer: Yes. Metal roof ice dams can form when attic heat melts snow above a cold roof edge, as they can on asphalt shingles. Both systems can develop ice dams under those conditions, but water behaves differently. Backed-up water can move beneath shingle tabs, while metal roofing can carry it under panels, seams, transitions,…

ByTed Sellers September 12, 2026September 23, 2026
