Minneapolis Homeowners: Know Who to Call in Case of Emergency Roof Repair Due to Fall Storms

Believe it or not, severe storms including high winds and hail often happen in the fall, too.  Are you prepared to deal with an emergency concerning your home?  Just about everyone knows to call 911 in case of an emergency.  But have you got an emergency storm damage repair phone number handy?  With the potential for fall storms in the Twin Cities, it’s a good idea to post the number of a storm damage repair company like Quarve Contracting with your list of urgent numbers.  In case of severe storm damage to your home, after you’ve handled the emergency calls like the one to your utility company, your next call should be to Quarve.  For nearly three decades the storm damage  professionals  at Quarve have been helping Minneapolis and St. Paul area residents recover from the aftermath of tornadoes, heavy rains, high winds, and hail.  They are used to working directly with insurance adjusters, so they are experienced in helping homeowners recover all they are entitled to under a claim against their homeowner’s insurance.

Storm damage repair doesn’t have to be a long, drawn-out process.  In fact, the sooner the repairs are made, the better.  Damaged areas – especially roofs and siding – are susceptible to additional damage as well as insect and rodent infiltration.  And if the damage involves exposing the underlying structure of your home or even parts of the interior, speedy repairs are all the more important to prevent the need for even more costly repairs.  It’s quicker and less expensive to take care of damage to your home’s “skin” (the siding and roof) then it is to repair structural components and interior walls and ceilings.

Following a severe storm or any hail storm, it’s a good idea to take a critical look at your home’s exterior.  Be on the lookout for such things as loose shingles, warped or gaping siding, or windows not sitting snug in their frames, etc.   If you see any of these telltale signs – or even if you suspect the storm may have caused damage, call Quarve for a free inspection.  A professional going-over can give you the peace of mind you need to be sure your home is intact, or in case of damage, that it can be repaired quickly by a licensed, experienced professional storm damage repair expert.

With the potential for severe fall weather, and with winter just around th corner, be sure to keep Quarve’s number at hand.  Call us day or night at (763) 786-1472 if you have had or suspect you may have storm damage.  We’ll get to it quickly and help you get back to life as normal.

Heavy Rains Causing Water Leaks in Your Andover Home? Call This Roofing Company Today

Despite the drought affecting most areas of the United States, the Twin Cities has seen plenty of heavy rain this summer.  Recent storms have pounded Andover and other communities in the Twin Cities area, leaving many homes in need of roofing repair.  If you live in an area that’s  been hard hit by rain (particularly in those areas suffering high winds as well), you may want to consider having your roof inspected.  Heavy rains – especially those accompanied by high winds – can wreak havoc on roofs and siding, but the damage may not be immediately noticeable.  By the time it becomes apparent, substantial damage may have already occurred.

Loose shingles and siding allow infiltration of water, which can cause structural deterioration, mold, and other problems.  The most visible sign is dark spots appearing on your outer walls and/or ceilings, but sometimes leaks are so small that it takes time for moisture to accumulate.  Mold builds up, insulation soaks in water, drywall begins to crumble, and wood develops rot.  Older roofing and siding is particularly vulnerable to rain and wind damage.

Don’t take risks with your home’s exterior.  Roofing and siding is the “skin” that protects your home’s structure, its contents, and your family.  Keeping that exterior intact and in good shape is of utmost importance.  It’s a good idea to give the outside of your home a onceover following severe storms.  Call a storm damage expert like Quarve Contracting for an inspection if you suspect that your roofing or siding may be compromised.

Quarve is the St. Paul/Minneapolis area’s leading roofing company, and for nearly three years they’ve been helping homeowners in Twin Cities communities like Andover recover from storms.  They are experienced in working with insurance companies to get claims processed and settled fairly and quickly, allowing repairs to be made in a timely manner.  Contact Quarve today at (763) 785-1472 for a free estimate.  Make sure your home is ready to stand up to the next heavy rainstorm.

Severe Weather Leaving You Rattled? Call This Minneapolis Area Home Improvement Contractor

This summer has been turbulent for many areas of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro community, and some homeowners are noticing that their properties are suffering under the strain of repeated heavy rain and high winds.  If it seems that each new bout of severe weather is producing new rattles and creaks on the outside of your home, perhaps it’s time for a professional exterior inspection.

High winds and wind-driven rain can loosen and cause damage to siding, gutters, roofs, and even windows and doors, especially older ones.  A small loose section can enlarge with the next storm, making an even bigger problem.  If any part of your home’s exterior components comes loose, it provides a potential for water, insect, mold, rodent, and other infiltration.  Your home’s siding, windows, and roof are its protective skin, and for that skin to work properly, it needs to be intact.

Unless you know what to look for, storm damage isn’t always readily apparent.  But those telltale flapping noises and rattling windows are generally a sign that something is wrong.  If this sounds like your home, it’s time to consider contacting a Minneapolis storm damage professional such as Quarve Contracting, Inc.  For nearly three decades, the home exterior contractors at Quarve have been inspecting and repairing storm damage to roofs and other exterior areas, including doors and windows.  They’re experienced in detecting storm damage as well as working with insurance adjusters for speedy, fair claims resolution.

Don’t let loose siding, roofing, or windows rattle you – call the Minneapolis area storm damage inspection and repair experts at Quarve Contracting today.  Estimates are always free, and when you call Quarve you’ll be getting an experienced, licensed roofing and siding contractor that can help you find peace and quiet in your home again quickly.  Call (763) 785-1472.

Leaky Roof? Now Is the Time to Replace It Before the Severe Storm Season Hits White Bear Lake

If the recent early Spring rains have produced telltale signs of leaks on your ceilings, now is the time to have your roof inspected and repaired or replaced before the severe storm season hits White Bear Lake and the surrounding areas.  The Twin Cities are notorious for Spring weather bringing heavy wind-driven rain, hailstorms, and tornadoes.  Mid-March rains were light, but are just the beginning of what is usually a storm-plagued season for Twin Cities residents.

Don’t get caught in the next downpour and find yourself with severe structural damage, or at the least, inconvenient repair bills.  If a leaky roof is the cause, ceiling repairs are just cosmetic and won’t address the real problems.  The next rainstorm could bring even more ceiling and structural damage.  If you have concerns about the integrity of your roof, contact a licensed roofing professional such as Quarve Contracting, Inc., for a roof inspection and repair or replacement estimate.  In addition to ceiling leaks or water stains, here are some other indicators that your roof needs attention:

  • If you have asphalt shingles, piles of roofing granules (resembling very fine gravel) are collecting at the base of your downspouts
  • Loose or missing shingles
  • Shingles with curled edges
  • Darkened or stained areas, which may indicate mold, mildew, or other problems; it may also indicate that your roof simply needs to be cleaned, but only a trained roofing professional can tell for sure

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements, so don’t take any chances.  You’ve made an investment in your home; make sure it’s adequately and effectively covered.  The roofing professionals at Quarve can suggest a variety of roofing options.  Our specialty is steel roofing – it’s one of the best choices for homeowners who are looking for a green roofing product.  An additional advantage to steel roofing is that because it’s lightweight, tear-off and disposal of your old roof is usually not necessary.  That means less debris in the landfill and less labor cost.

To schedule a roof inspection and a free estimate, call the roofing experts at Quarve Contracting today.  We’re licensed and insured, and for nearly three decades we’ve been helping Twin Cities residents like those in White Bear Lake protect and preserve their homes.  Contact us at (763) 785-1472.  We also offer other home exterior remodeling services as well – replacement windows and doors, seamless gutters, and siding.

Increase the Value of Your House—Metal Steel Roofing Pays Off the Highest Return

Many people have decided the best way to protect their housing investment and save money is to stay in their current house. There’s good news, you can increase the value of your house by carefully considering the maintenance investments you make.  One of the best opportunities for a great payback on your investment can be found in putting metal steel roofing on your house. If you’re looking at a new roof considering the change from asphalt shingles to metal steel roofing can provide a big payoff.

Here in the North Country our roofs are vulnerable to the weather and insurance claims.  We have wind, hail, and fire. You see asphalt shingles on neighbor’s roofs or other homes while out for a drive that are curled, splitting, and molding. For most of us that brings the question home: How old is my roof? Typically, your asphalt roof could last for 12-15+ years, but with the right weather elements. Plus putting snow, ice dams, snow weight on the roof causes a whole new host of worries that result from snow. Because when we get the heaviest wettest snows out come the ladders, snow rakes, the calls to the roof snow removal crews, and the envy of those neighbor’s with the heating rods on their roofs.

Lighten up your worries, time, and save your back with metal steel roofing from Quarve, the Minneapolis, Minnesota Remodeling Contractor who can install a Modern Durable Alternative energy efficient roof that will make your roof virtually resistant to weather and will increase your house’s fire resistance.  You may qualify for a homeowner’s insurance discount because your insurance company will know you put on a steel roof that is going to stay put and is maintenance free. Plus, you’ll get a green roof since metal steel roofs are made from natural and recycled materials.

Call Quarve 763-785-1472 today the Minneapolis exterior remodeling contractor to help with your roofing, siding, or replacement windows and doors for your St. Paul/Minneapolis home.

Keep Critters Out With Steel Roofing and Siding – Now Serving Forest Lake

If insect or rodent damage has been a problem for your home, you’re going to need a lot more than good insurance.  After all, insurance doesn’t prevent the destruction; it only helps you pay for repairs.  And if you’re repairing your roof or siding with the same type of product, it’s only a matter of time before those little critters will be back.  After all, there was something attractive about your home that drew them in the first place.  So why not make a change and eliminate the problem – for good.   And even if you haven’t suffered damage from insect or rodent infestation yet, if your roof or siding are deteriorating and in need of replacement anyway, why not take steps to prevent a problem from ever occuring.

Your home’s best first line of defense against insects and rodents like squirrels and bats (and even small mammals like racoons) is steel.  And with steel roofing and siding from Quarve Contractors, you’re insulating your home against insect and animal damage.  And not only that, steel roofing and siding is noncombustible, making them one of the best safeguards against fire.  (Your insurance company may even give you a discount because of this.)  As one of the St. Paul/Minneapolis area’s leading roofing and siding contractors for over 27 years, we highly recommend steel siding and roofing for these and many other reasons. 

Simply put, steel roofing and siding are just about impervious to insect and rodent damage.  No matter how sharp those little teeth or claws are, steel just can’t be chewed into the way that wood, asphalt, vinyl, or even fiberglass can.  And since we highly recommend and install seamless steel siding and roofing, there are not gaps between the panels to allow even the smallest critter a way in.  This especially important if you’ve had problems with insects like wasps building nests beneath small loose sections in your siding.

In addition to withstanding insect and rodent damage, steel siding and roofing also offer you many other advantages, such as superior durability.  Also, steel roofing so out-performs other roofing materials such as asphalt, tile, and cedar shake that it’s probably the last roof you’ll ever need.  So if you’re interested in keeping those darned critters out of your home permanently, call Quarve Contracting today for a free, no-obligation estimate.  We also offer steel soffit and fascia as well as rain-handling systems.

North Minneapolis Homes Damaged By Spring Tornadoes Still Awaiting Insured Repairs – Don’t Rely On Your Adjuster

For many North Minneapolis area residents who suffered storm damage from this spring’s severe storms are still suffering, and their homes have not been adequately repaired.  According to local news reports, some of this is due to disputes with insurance companies and their adjusters.  While the law requires that insurance companies pay to have covered property restored to its state before the storm damage occurred, exactly what this represents can sometimes be a gray area.   And for instance, insurance adjusters generally work with an average repair cost for a particular geographical area when determining the amount of settlement offered.   However, due to the high demand for roof damage repairs from recent tornado, hail, and wind damage in the Twin Cities area has caused local price increases which are not being taken into account. 

And it’s also good to keep in mind that an adjuster is an employee of the insurance company and does not necessarily work in the best interests of the insured.  Many people have had very satisfactory experiences with how their insurance companies have settled their storm damage claims, but for some the emotional stress in dealing with the insurance company to get the coverage they are entitled to is an experience almost as damaging as the storm itself. 

Did you know that you have legal rights as an insured homeowner?  The insurance company cannot require that you accept their estimate of repair costs.  Neither do they have control over which storm damage repair contractor you select.  You have the right to request that your insurance adjuster reconsider the settlement figure.  You also have the right to hire a private adjuster who will work on your behalf, although in most cases you will need to pay a private adjuster a portion of your proceeds. 

If the roof on your North property is the subject of an unresolved insurance claim, you may be happy to know that Quarve Contracting, one of the Twin Cities’ area’s leading roof repair contractors, has had extensive experience helping Minnesota home owners resolve their storm damage claims for over 27 years.  If you’re having difficulty getting your insurance claim settled to your satisfaction, perhaps we can help.

TESTIMONIALS

After a hailstorm, we needed to repair our siding, fix our roof and replace some storm windows. We were fortunate to find Quarve as we couldn’t find another contractor who was willing to take on the entire job. The best part about with working with Pat Quarve was the attention to design detail. Quarve was also able to work with the insurance company to help negotiate a fair settlement.
Linda and Jim, Anoka

From the beginning, we had a very positive experience with Pat Quarve. It was less about the sale and more about how well Quarve was going to put the finishing touch on our project. We were also impressed at how well the crew worked together, as a team, efficiently doing the job right the first time! Should any prospective clients wish to see Quarve perfection, we invite them to come past our home and see for themselves.
Paul & Libbie, St Anthony

Denise and I want to let you know how pleased we are with our new roof. Even more important was the whole experience with your company. The crew was terrific as were the people in the office in helping us manage all of the communication and paperwork with the insurance company, mortgage company and the city. We would definitely work with you again and recommend you to others.
Steve, Eden Prairie

Thank you and your staff for partnering with us on our green project. You went above and beyond to educate us, provide options, guide us from start to finish and help us make decisions that worked for us as well as the environment. We felt that Pat was genuinely concerned about meeting our needs and providing products that are environmentally friendly. We will enjoy the improvements for years to come.
Chuck & Kathy, Roseville

We want to thank you for the recent work Quarve Contracting completed on our home. The roof, gutters and shutters looks great!

We will call Quarve Contracting again if another construction project is needed at our house.
Tammi and Randy, Blaine

We would like to thank you for a great job on our house. We chose Quarve because they displayed professionalism from the start and we knew they were very quality driven. Anybody can up siding, roofing and gutters but is it going to last and meet state codes? This is important to protect our investment. Quarve exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you to Quarve for a great job!!
Bob and Rachelle, Cambridge

We want to let you know how very impressed we are with how you handled replacing our roof after hail damage.

Leo and Lisa, Lino Lakes

The quality of Quarve Contracting’s work and the professionalism of the crew was outstanding! We’ve recommended Quarve to three friends, all of whom selected Quarve to do their siding. Each homeowner was impressed with the completed work. We continue to recommend Quarve for their unwavering commitment to customer service and quality workmanship at a fair price.

Our house looks great and the whole experience was pleasant and hassle-free. We loved the work they did so well that we hired them on another project and recommended them to friends and family.
