Severe Storms Bring Hail, High Winds, and Property Damage Across Minnesota

Local media outlets also documented significant storm impacts, including widespread power outages, large hail, and severe weather warnings across the region.

Even if your city isn't listed above, storm damage can vary significantly from neighborhood to neighborhood. Hail may impact one subdivision while another just a few miles away sees little to no damage. That's why a professional inspection is the best way to determine whether your home was affected.

Hail Damage Isn't Always Obvious

One of the biggest misconceptions homeowners have is that they would notice hail damage immediately.

The reality is that hail can create damage that may not be visible from your driveway. Even relatively small hail can loosen granules, bruise shingles, dent metal components, and shorten the life expectancy of your roofing system.

Over time, these issues can lead to:

• Premature roof deterioration

• Water intrusion and leaks

• Damage to siding and exterior finishes

• Reduced protection during future storms

• Potential insurance claim complications

Because much of this damage occurs on the roof itself, many homeowners don't discover a problem until months later.

Thinking About Filing an Insurance Claim?

If your home has experienced hail or wind damage, it may qualify for repairs or replacement through your homeowner's insurance policy.

ManePoint Exteriors helps homeowners throughout the Twin Cities metro area with:

• Free roof inspections

• Drone roof reports

• Storm damage assessments

• Insurance claim assistance

• Roof repairs and full roof replacements

  
  

Our goal is to make the process straightforward while ensuring homeowners understand their options every step of the way.

Why It's Important to Choose a Contractor You Trust

After a major storm, it's common to see an influx of contractors knocking on doors and offering inspections.

While some companies provide valuable services, homeowners should take time to research who they choose to work with.

A trusted local contractor should:

• Be properly licensed and insured

• Have a proven local reputation

• Provide honest assessments

• Explain findings clearly

• Never pressure homeowners into signing contracts on the spot

• Be available long after the storm has passed

At ManePoint Exteriors, we believe homeowners deserve straightforward information and honest recommendations. Not every roof needs replacement, and not every home has storm damage. Our goal is to provide a thorough assessment so homeowners can make informed decisions about their property.

The Value of a Professional Roof Inspection

A professional inspection can help identify damage before it becomes a larger issue.

During an inspection, our team evaluates:

• Roofing shingles and roofing components

• Ridge caps and roof accessories

• Gutters and downspouts

• Siding and exterior surfaces

• Metal flashings and vents

• Other storm-affected areas around the home

If damage is found, we'll explain what we're seeing and discuss the next steps. If we don't find storm-related damage, we'll tell you that as well.

Free Drone Reports Available

One of the tools we use to inspect homes is drone technology.

Our free drone reports provide homeowners with a clear aerial view of their roof and exterior conditions without requiring them to climb a ladder or rely solely on verbal descriptions.

Drone inspections help:

• Document potential storm damage

• Identify areas of concern

• Provide visual evidence for homeowners

• Create detailed reports for future reference

• Improve overall inspection accuracy

Many homeowners appreciate being able to see exactly what we see during the inspection process.
