What Are Lakeland Homes and Roofs Like?
Lakeland homes range from houses dating back to the river settlement platted there in 1849 to river-view homes from the 1960s and 70s on the bluffs above the water.
Three Lakeland houses are on the National Register: the Captain John Oliver House, the Mitchell Jackson Farmhouse and the John T. Cyphers House, all from the city's first decade. When I-94 cut through part of the original plat, the city chose carefully controlled development to keep the feel of a small village.
On a river-view house from the 1960s or 70s, the roof is often not the first one, and the next tear-off is the time to check the decking, flashing and attic ventilation underneath. Homes on the bluff face open water, so we look closely at their shingle edges and ridge caps.

Check edges and ridges
Lakeland houses on the bluff face wind off the St. Croix, so their roof edges and ridge caps need a closer look.
Who Handles Roof Permits in Lakeland, MN?
Roof permits in Lakeland go through the City of Lakeland's building department, which asks owners to call its contracted building inspection service before starting any building project to find out whether a permit is needed.
The city's inspection service lists a roof application among its residential permits, and the city requires inspections for all building and construction work, with two days' notice for each inspection. We confirm what your Lakeland roof needs with the city's building inspector before work starts.
Lakeland also sits on the St. Croix bluffs, where Minnesota's bluff-protection standards limit how close building can go to the bluff. A reroof on an existing house keeps to the same footprint, but if a bluff home needs structural work or an addition, the city's planning and zoning office is the place to ask first.

Lakeland asks owners to check with its building inspection service before any building project starts.
Who Can Put a Roof on a Lakeland Home?
A company that contracts directly with a Lakeland homeowner for roofing must hold a Minnesota residential roofer license from the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, because Lakeland is in Minnesota and Wisconsin's contractor rules do not apply there.
Minnesota licenses the company, not each worker, and every licensed company must name a qualifying person who has passed the state exam and keeps up continuing education. A licensed roofer must also carry a surety bond and liability insurance, and a roofer license covers roofing work only.
Before you sign with any roofer for a Lakeland job, us included, ask to see their Minnesota roofer license and check it with the Department of Labor and Industry's license lookup, and ask for proof of insurance.

What Does Hail Do to a Lakeland Roof?
Hail knocks the protective granules off a Lakeland roof's asphalt shingles and can bruise or crack them, which shortens the roof's life even when nothing leaks yet, and it dents metal vents, flashing and gutters.
A bruised shingle often looks fine from the ground, so hail damage can go unnoticed until it turns into a leak. After a hailstorm, look for granules collecting in the gutters or at the downspouts, dents in gutters and vents, and chips in siding or window trim, then have the roof inspected before you decide anything.
Wind does a different kind of harm, especially on the bluffs: it lifts shingle edges, breaks the seal strips that hold them flat and brings down limbs. If you plan an insurance claim, photograph the damage before anything is moved or thrown away.
