SavageSavage homeowners, here's what to know before you re-roof
Savage grew mostly in the 1990s and 2000s, so many roofs here are at or near their first replacement. A few practical pointers before you start getting quotes.
About Savage
Savage sits along the Minnesota River, with the Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve to the south and the old Dan Patch history tied to the town's name change. Neighborhoods climb from the river valley up into rolling, wooded subdivisions.
Homes are mostly two-stories, split-entries and walkouts from the city's big growth years.
Savage FAQ
Our roof is 25 years old and looks okay. Should we replace it?
Not necessarily. We'll inspect and tell you what we see. If it's sound, we'll say so.
Do you inspect gutters too?
Yes, along with siding and window wraps. See gutters.
Five things to check before choosing a roofer
- Ask for the contractor's Minnesota license number and look it up with the Department of Labor and Industry. Ours is BC808378.
- Get a written, itemized proposal, not just a single number.
- Ask whether they do a full tear-off and how they handle damaged decking.
- Ask about ventilation and ice and water protection.
- Be wary of anyone offering to cover your insurance deductible. That's not allowed in Minnesota.
