Your Local Roofing Contractor in St. Paul
Total Home Exteriors serves St. Paul homeowners across Ramsey County. St. Paul is Minnesota's capital and, like Minneapolis, has a large stock of older homes — steep roofs, dormers, detailed trim, and original wood siding are common, and many neighbourhoods have mature tree canopy that keeps north-facing slopes damp and fills gutters every autumn. That combination makes ventilation and gutter capacity more important here than on a newer suburban street. We handle roofing, siding, window replacement, insulation, gutters, ice dam steaming, and storm and hail damage restoration in St. Paul, and we work directly with your insurance adjuster on storm claims. Inspections and written estimates are free, with no obligation.
Why do St. Paul homes get ice dams so consistently?
Older houses were rarely built with the attic insulation and ventilation levels Minnesota now requires, and many have had insulation added over the years without the air sealing that has to go with it. Warm air leaks into the attic, warms the roof deck, melts the snow, and it refreezes at the cold eave.
Mature tree cover compounds it — a gutter full of leaves gives the ice something to build against and stops meltwater draining once a dam has formed. We steam the ice off safely, but on a house that dams every winter the fix is upstairs.
Can older St. Paul homes take modern insulation levels?
Usually, yes, but it takes care. Knob-and-tube wiring, unvented roof assemblies and finished attic space all change what can safely be installed, and blowing insulation into the wrong assembly can trap moisture in the roof deck.
We look at how the attic is actually built before recommending anything, rather than treating every house as an open attic floor to be topped up.
