Roofing & Exteriors in Brainerd, MN

Brainerd is snow load country. The lakes area gets a depth and duration of snow that the metro does not, and roofs here have to be built for weight sitting on them for months rather than a week. That changes what we recommend on pitch, on ice and water coverage, and on how far up from the eave that protection needs to run.

A lot of what we work on around Brainerd and Gull Lake is seasonal. Cabins and lake homes sit unheated through the worst of the winter, which sounds like it should help and often does the opposite: nobody is there to notice a leak, and freeze and thaw cycles work at flashing all season. If you own a place up here that you only see in summer, a fall inspection before you close it up is the cheapest thing you can do for it.
