Aberdeen roofing and siding contractors

August 28, 2021 is the one people measure from

The National Weather Service logged tennis-ball hail — two and a half inches — south of US 12 that night, and it was driven hard. We were still replacing roofs off that storm two years later, and we still find houses that were never looked at, because the damage sits on the north and east slopes where it doesn’t show from the street. Late July that year had already put significant hail down. Then the May 12 and July 5, 2022 derechos came through and took the weakened material with them.

Older stock means a different tear-off

Aberdeen’s housing is older than Sioux Falls’ and that changes the job. The blocks around Northern State and the original core have a lot of pre-1960 houses — steeper pitches, plank decking rather than plywood, and frequently two layers already up there. When we tear one of those off we plan on finding deck that has to be replaced, and we put it in the quote instead of calling you from the roof at noon with a change order. Out toward Moccasin Creek and the newer south and west additions it is ordinary plywood and a straightforward tear-off.

The part nobody local needs explained

Aberdeen gets worked over by out-of-state crews after every hail event. They knock doors for three weeks, take the insurance money, and are gone by the time the ridge vent leaks. Gunner lives here. The office is on 6th Avenue SW, and in two years he is still the person who answers the phone. That is most of the real argument for using a local company on a job this size, and we would rather say it plainly than pretend the price is the difference.

We cover Brown County and well past it. Groton, Ipswich, Britton, Warner, Columbia and Frederick are all regular stops, and there is no windshield charge for getting there.
