Comprehensive Flat Roof Repairs for St. Paul, Minnesota

Ensure the Longevity and Durability of Your Property

When it comes to ensuring the longevity and durability of your commercial or residential property in St. Paul, addressing flat roof issues is paramount. Our roofing experts specialize in comprehensive flat roof repairs, offering top-notch solutions that stand up to the unique challenges posed by Minnesota’s weather extremes.

Common Flat Roof Issues in Minnesota

Flat roofs in Minnesota face specific challenges due to the state’s harsh weather conditions. Here are some common roofing repair issues associated with flat roofs in Minnesota:

Ice Dams

Issue: The accumulation of ice dams along the edges of flat roofs is a prevalent problem during the winter months. This occurs when snow melts, then refreezes at the roof’s colder edges, creating ice dams that can lead to water backup.
Repair Challenge: Repairing ice dam damage involves addressing water leaks and potential structural issues caused by the weight of ice buildup.

Snow Accumulation

Issue: Heavy snowfall can accumulate on flat roofs, placing stress on the structure and potentially causing leaks. Additionally, when snow melts and refreezes, it can create ice patches that may lead to water ponding.
Repair Challenge: Repairs often involve addressing leaks, reinforcing structural integrity, and improving drainage systems to prevent water ponding.

Extreme Temperature Fluctuations

Issue: Minnesota experiences drastic temperature fluctuations throughout the year, causing roofing materials to expand and contract. This can lead to membrane stress, joint separation, and material degradation.
Repair Challenge: Repairing damage caused by temperature fluctuations requires addressing membrane issues, sealing joints, and replacing damaged materials to maintain the roof’s integrity.

UV Radiation Exposure

Issue: Flat roofs in Minnesota are exposed to intense UV radiation, especially during the summer months. Over time, UV exposure can degrade roofing materials, leading to cracks, blistering, and reduced overall durability.
Repair Challenge: Repairing UV damage involves replacing or coating roofing materials to protect against further deterioration and enhance UV resistance.

Hail Damage

Issue: Hailstorms are not uncommon in Minnesota, and they can cause significant damage to flat roof membranes and other roofing components.
Repair Challenge: Repairing hail damage may involve patching or replacing damaged membrane sections, as well as inspecting other roofing elements for potential issues caused by impact.

DIY Flat Roof Maintenance Tips

While it’s always advisable to consult with a professional for a comprehensive flat roof inspection, there are some DIY steps you can take to maintain and prolong the life of your flat roof. Here are some tips for DIY roofing inspection and maintenance:

Clean Debris Regularly

Why: Accumulated debris can block drainage systems and lead to water ponding, causing damage over time.
DIY Tip: Safely remove leaves, branches, and other debris from the roof surface, gutters, and downspouts. Ensure proper water flow to prevent ponding.

Inspect Seals and Flashings

Why: Seals around vents, skylights, and flashings are common areas for leaks if not properly maintained.
DIY Tip: Examine seals and flashings for signs of wear, cracking, or gaps. Use roofing sealant to repair any damaged areas and ensure a watertight seal.

Trim Overhanging Branches

Why: Overhanging branches can damage the roof surface and provide a pathway for pests.
DIY Tip: Trim branches that hang over the roof to prevent physical damage and reduce the risk of debris accumulation

Inspect Roof Membrane and Coating

Why: The membrane and coating protect the roof from the elements, and damage can lead to leaks.
DIY Tip: Check for cracks, blisters, or punctures in the membrane. If you have a coated roof, inspect for signs of wear or peeling. Repair small issues promptly with appropriate sealants or coatings.

Examine Roof Edges and Parapets

Why: Roof edges and parapets are vulnerable to wind damage and leaks.
DIY Tip: Inspect the edges for loose or damaged materials. Ensure that the flashing is secure and that there are no gaps where water could infiltrate.

Monitor for Mold and Mildew

Why: Moisture trapped on the roof can lead to mold and mildew growth, causing additional issues.
DIY Tip: Regularly inspect for signs of mold or mildew. Clean affected areas using a mild detergent and water solution, and improve ventilation to prevent future growth.

Schedule Professional Flat Roof Inspections

Remember that while these DIY tips can help with basic maintenance, it’s crucial to schedule professional inspections at least annually for a more thorough assessment of your flat roof’s condition. Professional roofers can identify potential issues early, ensuring timely and effective repairs to extend the longevity of your flat roof.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm a real estate agent and I'm  getting a listing ready to sell and I saw signs of moisture in the upper cabinet.
I called EMT construction who had installed the new roof and siding on this home.
They were out and diagnosed the problem in less than an hour.
They came back the next day and fixed the issue.
I have to give them A+ on customer service especially in a time where service isn't the norm.
Thanks again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My neighbor recommended EMT to me after they were pleased with the work they had done. Mike did a great job handling the insurance company and getting what I needed for my roof and siding. Both jobs were done in a timely manner and I couldn't be happier with the end results! It was also nice that they had a contracted electrician to install all new lights at the end. Highly recommend EMT!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of working with EMT Construction Services for the replacement of the roof and siding on our house, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their service was exemplary.

Navigating an insurance claim is not easy, fortunately, Mike and his team at EMT Construction Services worked with our insurance company to get full replacement for both the room and the siding. Having the opportunity to select a new siding color was exciting and Mike was able to provide multiple color samples based on what we wanted for the final look. He also helped us better visualize the final look with a mock-up of our house with the color we chose.

I cannot give enough compliments to the crew that came to do the work. Their professionalism and attention to detail resulted in a job well done and we could not be more happy with the final results.

If you are looking to update your siding/shingles, I would 100% recommend EMT Construction Services. You will not be disappointed with the final look of your house when they are done.

It was damaged during a recent hail storm. Mike worked diligently with with our insurance company to make sure we got a new roof and siding. He also convinced them of extra work that needed to be done to meet the local building codes. They were also very patient with the process of the payments and worked with me to keep that all up to date. I will certainly use them again if needed, and highly recommend them for your residential construction needs.
