Roofing & Exteriors in Mankato, MN

Mankato is really two towns stacked on top of each other, and roofs behave differently in each. Down in the river valley the older housing sits sheltered but damp, and we spend more time on soffit, fascia and ventilation than people expect. Up on the hilltop, where most of the newer construction went, homes catch open wind with nothing between them and the prairie, so we spec fastening and edge detail for the exposure rather than the label on the bundle.

The other Mankato factor is the student rental stock around the university. Those homes tend to carry years of deferred maintenance: gutters that were never cleaned, patched repairs instead of real ones, and roofs kept alive one summer at a time. We are happy to give an owner an honest read on what genuinely needs doing now and what can wait another season.
