Mound, MinnesotaMound has more shoreline than almost anywhere on the lake
Peninsulas, bays and channels give Mound its character, along with a lot of homes that sit right on the wind. Here's how we approach roofing and exteriors in town.
Things we watch for on Mound homes
Mound's shoreline winds around Cooks Bay, West Arm, Harrisons Bay and more, and many neighborhoods sit on narrow points of land. That shapes what we look for:
- Wind-lifted shingles on slopes facing open water
- Cabin-era roofs that were raised or added onto over the years
- Low-slope sections over porches and three-season rooms
- Small lots where staging takes planning
- Detached garages with roofs that never got the same attention as the house
A practical, honest assessment
Lots of Mound houses are modest in size, and owners want the money spent where it counts. Sometimes that's a full replacement. Often it's a targeted repair, like resealing a chimney or replacing pipe boots, that buys years of service. We'll tell you which we think it is.
The Dakota Rail Regional Trail runs through Mound and connects much of the west end of the lake. Plenty of our neighbors know each other from it, so word of mouth matters to us here.
Mound homeowner questions
Can you fix the low-slope roof over my porch?
Yes. Low-slope sections need different materials than shingles, and they're a common leak point where they meet the main roof. We'll look at both.
My cabin has an addition with a different roofline. Is that a problem?
Not necessarily, but transitions between old and new roofs are where we see leaks most. We pay particular attention to that flashing.
Do you replace gutters on small homes?
Absolutely. Gutters are worth getting right on any house, especially near the water table.
