Why is Sellers Roofing the right roofing contractor for White Bear Lake?

Sellers Roofing is licensed by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, a proud member of Roofers Local 96, and serves the City of White Bear Lake community. Cedar shake requires different expertise than asphalt — we understand proper ventilation, underlayment upgrades, and how to match hand-split vs. sawn shakes when repairing a section rather than replacing the whole roof. Sellers Roofing is a family-owned, Black-owned company founded in 2007, MBE/DBE-certified, and a Roofers Local 96 union contractor. We assess each roof individually: if more than 30% of shakes are split, cupped, or missing, full replacement makes financial sense. Below that threshold, targeted repairs combined with a clear preservative treatment can add years to the original roof. We don’t subcontract labor — our own trained union crews handle every White Bear Lake project.

What roofing challenges do White Bear Lake homes and buildings face?

Recent White Bear Lake project: Sellers Roofing recently completed a cedar shake-focused roof in the White Bear Lake area — a typical job profile we see across Ramsey County. We document every job with photos, manufacturer warranties, and itemized line items so homeowners and property managers in White Bear Lake get full transparency.

White Bear Lake sits at the edge of a natural lakeshore environment where moisture, freeze-thaw cycling, and shade from mature hardwood trees create conditions that age cedar shake faster than in more exposed suburban settings. Homes along the lake’s western bays and around the White Bear Yacht Club area frequently show moss growth, lifted tabs, and split shakes within 15–20 years — faster than the same cedar would last in a drier climate. We assess each roof individually: if more than 30% of shakes are split, cupped, or missing, full replacement makes financial sense.

The housing stock in White Bear Lake spans from early 20th-century cottages and 1940s–1960s ramblers to 1980s colonial-style homes and newer construction in the Lake Birch and Birch Lake neighborhoods on the city’s western edge. Older homes near downtown White Bear Lake and along Highway 61 are heavily cedar shake. Homes in the Dellwood Road corridor and around Bald Eagle Lake include more mixed stock — some asphalt, some cedar, some older wood shingles that haven’t been properly updated. We work across all of these roof types and can advise on the best material upgrade path based on your specific home and neighborhood character.

Hail and storm damage in White Bear Lake — we handle the insurance claim

White Bear Lake is in the path of storm systems that track northeast through the Twin Cities corridor, and Ramsey County sees regular hail events. Cedar shake roofs are particularly susceptible to hail damage — hail splits and fractures individual shakes in ways that aren’t always visible from the ground but create leak pathways during rain. We conduct a thorough inspection, photograph all damage, and prepare a written scope of loss to support your insurance claim. We work with all major carriers and handle all adjuster communications directly so you don’t have to manage the paperwork.
