Home Street volunteers at Hearts & HammersHome Street recently donated a portion of its services to replace a roof for a deserving senior in the Audubon Park neighborhood of Northeast Minneapolis. Home Street performed the roof replacement at the request of Hearts and Hammers Twin Cities, a local volunteer organization which provides exterior “home rehab” for deserving homeowners in the Twin Cities area. Roofing materials were provided at a reduced cost by ABC Supply in Minneapolis. Hearts and Hammers partners with local organizations to provide painting, caulking, siding, landscape improvements and more for homeowners who want to remain in their homes, but may have a hard time keeping up with basic repairs due to physical and financial limitations.

GAF/ELK Authorized

Home Street is a GAF/ELK Certified Weather Stopper® Roofing installer. We offer the SmartChoice System Plus® warranty free of charge with every install.The GAF weather stopper integrated roofing system is trusted by more professional contractors throughout North America than any other.


Chimney flashingMore often than not the prevoius roofing contractor has not replaced the chimney flashing or has not flashed the chimney correctly. Smearing blackjack roof sealant on the chimneys prone leak points is not an acceptable form per code nor an acceptable practice period. Home Street uses one piece galvanized flashings called saddles or crickets for chimney flashing applications along with Riglet counterflashing to insure a leak free and worry free roof. We take the extra steps to insure that the job is done right so we can stand behind our work.
 
Anything sticking up through the roof is a probable leak point, such as plumbing stacks, roof vents, Comdeck Dish antenna mounts and chimneys. It is our goal to first cover these trouble-prone areas with weatherwatch Ice and Water shield and to use the flashing detail outlined by building code and the roofing manufacturers to properly seal the area.
 
These are a few of the things that it takes to be a GAF/ELK Certified Weather Stopper® Roofing installer.

Before we start work, we provide you with our "what to expect" sheet that walks you through the whole project.

We pay special attention to details - installing water barriers that meet or exceed code.

We replace plywood as appropriate to assure a good foundation for your home's new shingles - for a reliable roof for many years to come.

Replacing decking

"We want to thank you for all the work you did in solving the problem with our roof. We have had other roofers look at the issue, but you were the first to provide a solution.

"Once the problem was diagnosed, the work performed was done professionally. We were impressed that you moved the schedule up one day to avoid forecasted rain. Your workers were courteous and made an extra effort to avoid damage to our shrubs and garden. The cleanup was thorough.

"We would be happy to recommend you to our neighbors and friends."
