Minnesota winters can be brutal on your home—especially your roof.
Minnesota winters can be brutal on your home—especially your roof. Between heavy snow loads, ice dams, and fluctuating freeze-thaw cycles, damage often builds up slowly and silently. The worst part? Most homeowners don’t realize there’s a problem until leaks start showing up during summer storms. At Midwest X Construction, we’ve seen firsthand how costly those hidden winter issues can become—and we want to help you catch them early, before they break the bank.
So what should you be looking for?
Start by checking your roof from the ground: look for missing, curled, or cracked shingles—these are signs that moisture may have seeped in. If you see dark streaks or moss, that could signal trapped water. Inside the home, water stains on ceilings or walls often point to roof problems that started months ago. Ice dams from winter can also damage flashing or tear at gutters—issues that might not show until summer storms put your roof to the test.
To make this easier for homeowners, we’ve created a free downloadable Summer Home Maintenance Checklist that shows you exactly what to look for, step by step. Whether you’re in Eden Prairie, Edina, Burnsville, or Eagan, this guide is tailored to Minnesota homes and seasonal challenges. And if you’re unsure or want peace of mind, we’re also offering a free roof inspection—no pressure, just honest insights from a local crew that takes pride in doing things right.
