Performing a curled shingles repair is often a viable solution when the issue is localized, the asphalt shingles remain flexible, and the integrity of the roof deck is still intact. If curling becomes widespread, the material begins to crack, or signs of water intrusion appear, a full roof replacement is typically the safer and more…
Yes, roof nails backing out is a common issue after repeated freeze-thaw cycles in Minnesota. This phenomenon, often referred to as nail pops, occurs when moisture enters small gaps and freezes. The subsequent expansion and contraction of materials as temperatures fluctuate puts significant stress on the entire roofing assembly. This movement can lift asphalt shingles,…
A commercial flat roof inspection in Minnesota should be conducted on a semi-annual basis, once in spring after the thaw and once in fall before snow season. Add another inspection after hail, high winds, heavy snow, rooftop work, or any sign of leaking. If the roof is older or already patched, shorten the gap between…
Yes. A carrier can deny a roof claim if it decides the damage came from wear, poor upkeep, or an unrepaired leak instead of a covered storm event. For commercial owners, proof drives the result. Maintenance logs, photos, service invoices, and an independent roof report can turn a weak denial into a stronger claim. When…
You detect a built-up roof leak without core cuts by layering built-up roof leak detection methods, not by guessing. Start with interior leak mapping, inspect the roof surface, scan for trapped moisture with infrared, confirm wet areas with a moisture meter, and use electronic leak detection when the roof surface allows it. That usually narrows…
Electronic leak detection finds holes in a roofing membrane by using a controlled electrical field. When there’s a membrane breach, electricity follows the path of least resistance, often through moisture, to the conductive deck or a grounded return line. The technician tracks that signal and marks the exact leak location, so repairs target the true…
After harsh Minnesota winters that batter roofing materials with heavy snow and ice, focus your spring roof inspection on vulnerable spots like drains and scuppers, seams and flashing, roof edges, and rooftop penetrations (HVAC curbs, vents, skylights). Once the snow melts, check for ponding water, split sealant, loose coping, punctures from snow removal, and new…
After a storm, you usually need gutter replacement when the system can’t hold slope, keep seams tight, or move water away from the building, even after cleaning and minor repairs. Look for sagging gutters, split seams, pulled fasteners, bent downspouts, and overflow marks. If water is causing water damage by hitting walls or pooling at…
What maintenance should be done on a roof includes routine inspections, clearing drains and debris, checking seams and flashing, fixing small punctures fast, and documenting all work. How do you maintain a commercial roof? Set a schedule (at least spring and fall), add post-storm checks, manage snow load, and address freeze-thaw damage early so you…
Most commercial roofing projects in Saint Paul and nearby suburbs need a roofing permit, especially any tear-off, new membrane install, or system change. Small, like-for-like fixes may be exempt, but rules vary by city and building type. Expect the city to require scheduled inspections at key points (often before concealment and at final), plus plan…

For property managers, it reduces surprise leaks, helps with budget planning, and creates proof you cared for the asset. Use the template below to set roles, inspection dates,…
A commercial roof maintenance plan template is a core part of preventative maintenance for property managers. It is a written, repeatable schedule that tells your team what to inspect, when to inspect it, how to document findings, and when to call a roofer. For most properties, it includes spring and fall inspections, post-storm checks, drain…
