Duluth Roofing -- Lake Superior Snow, Ice, and Gales

Duluth sits on the steep hillsides above Lake Superior at the western tip of the greatest of the Great Lakes, and its roofs face one of the harshest winter climates of any city in the Lower 48. The cold lake and the upslope terrain combine to dump heavy snow -- Duluth routinely sees well over 80 inches a year -- and the long, deep cold keeps it on the roof for months. That snow load, plus the freeze-thaw cycle of meltwater refreezing at cold eaves, forms the ice dams that are the single biggest cause of winter roof leaks here. Ice-and-water shield, balanced attic ventilation, and cold-weather-rated detailing are not upgrades in Duluth -- they're the baseline.

Lake Superior also drives the wind. Duluth is famous for powerful gales off the lake -- the 'Gales of November' that sank the Edmund Fitzgerald are part of the city's identity -- and those nor'easter-style windstorms push snow and rain sideways and tear at ridges and flashing. Summer brings its own extremes: the catastrophic June 2012 flash flood, when nearly ten inches of rain in a day washed out hillsides and overwhelmed the city, is a reminder of how fast water moves on Duluth's slopes. The city's stock of grand Congdon Park homes, East Hillside Victorians, Lakeside and Lester Park houses, and hillside homes with steep, complex rooflines all need roofs built for snow, ice, and wind. Signature Exteriors installs heavy-snow, ice-dam-resistant, windstorm-rated systems and documents storm damage thoroughly for insurance claims.
