MinnetonkaMinnetonka is mostly ramblers, split-levels and trees, and we know them well
The City of Minnetonka itself barely touches the big lake. Its neighborhoods are wooded and hilly, full of homes from the 1950s through the 1980s, and many are on their second or third roof.
Roof issues we find in Minnetonka's housing stock
- Split-level and multi-level homes with roof-to-wall transitions that leak
- Low-pitch sections that struggle with snow melt
- Under-ventilated attics in mid-century homes, leading to ice dams
- Gutters overwhelmed by oaks and maples
- Older windows and siding due for replacement at the same time
Hills, creeks and shade
Minnehaha Creek winds through Minnetonka from Gray's Bay, and the city has a lot of parkland, including the Minnetonka Civic Center grounds and Purgatory Park. Hilly, wooded lots mean shade, debris and tricky access.
That's why we usually look at the roof, gutters and drainage together. Fixing one without the others rarely solves an ice dam or a wet basement corner.
Minnetonka FAQ
Why do I get ice dams every winter?
Usually heat escaping into the attic plus limited ventilation. Roofing work can add ice protection and venting, but insulation and air sealing matter too. We'll explain what we see.
Can you replace siding on my split-level?
Yes. Split-levels often have mixed materials on different levels, and new siding can unify them.
Do you install new windows in older homes?
Yes. Brands we install include Andersen, Kolbe, Marvin, Pella and Weather Shield. See windows.
