New roof on a Lake Minnetonka home

A new roof on a Lake Minnetonka home, from Todd's own project photos. Lake homes get Lake Minnetonka wind and weather, and Todd's crew builds every roof for it.

We take the old roof off first, so Todd can inspect the decking and replace rotten boards before the new roof goes on.

How Todd handles a roof replacement

Every Carstensen roof is a full tear-off down to the decking, so the boards can be inspected and any rotten or soft ones replaced. The crew then installs ice-and-water shield at the eaves, valleys and around chimneys and vents, new flashing at walls and penetrations, and ventilation matched to the attic, and cleans up before they leave, nails in the yard included.
