FAQ on Roofing in Ramsey County, MN.

We recommend replacing your roof soon after it gets past about 80% of the manufacturer's expected lifespan. The later you wait the more susceptible you are to possible damage. There are a few things you can look out for that indicate it may be time for a roof replacement.

Some of those warning signs include:

• Curled or cupped shingle edges
• Missing granules and bald spots
• Cracked or missing shingles
• Algae growth
• Mold in your attic

In short, yes. When understanding the value of a new roof, there are a few key questions to consider.

• Would replacing my roof improve structural integrity?
• Is the new roof going to have better insulation and energy efficiency?
• How much will the new roof increase my home's value?

In most cases, a new roof will improve all of these. The cost for several repairs and the damage quickly adds up when dealing with an old roof. Improving your home's structural integrity is a huge benefit, saving you time, money, and headaches. Depending on what product you choose to upgrade to can determine the level of insulation and energy efficiency you receive. According to the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report, you can expect to recoup an average of 67.5% of the cost you spent on your roof.

Those dark streaks you are seeing are algae growth, and it is nothing to worry about. Unfortunately, some roofing contractors in Minneapolis, MN, may use this as a way to force you into replacing the whole roof.

Algae are easily removable with a 50/50 mixture of bleach and water. Be sure to use a low volume/ low-pressure hose to spray the solution, so as not to spray off the protective granules on the shingles. Also make sure to protect your landscape, as bleach will quickly kill your plants. However, if the algae do not seem to be going away, it could be an indicator of an even bigger problem. Feel free to contact our roofing company and we will check out your roof.
