The Storms That Damage Minneapolis Properties
Hail
On August 5, 2019, a hail core one to three miles wide damaged cars, windows, roofs and siding across the western, northwestern, northern and northeastern Twin Cities suburbs, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Hail can crack shingles and open the roof to rain days later.
Damaging wind and falling trees
On July 28, 2025, the National Weather Service in the Twin Cities summarized storms with 60 to 70 mph wind gusts across the metro, with trees down and power outages. A tree on a roof needs emergency tarping and water extraction before any repair.
Tornadoes and rain on saturated ground
Tornadoes have touched down in Anoka County, and heavy rain can overwhelm sump pumps and drains. A storm often causes roof damage and basement water in the same event.

Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration, and What To Do First
- Missing or lifted shingles, or a tree limb on the roof
- Water stains on ceilings after wind-driven rain
- Broken windows, doors, or siding
- Water in the basement after a flash flood
- Ice dams along the roof edge with water inside the house
- A musty smell in the attic in the weeks after a storm
Stay away from downed power lines and do not enter a flooded basement until the power is off. If it is safe, cover openings and move valuables away from leaks, take photos of the damage, and call (612) 488-2293 so we can tarp, board up, and start drying.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on how the storm got in: through the roof, through broken openings, or through the basement. Wind and hail damage often lets water into attics and wall cavities, where it spreads before stains appear. We inspect the whole path of the water and document it for your adjuster.
Tarping and board-up happen the same day. Drying usually takes 3 to 5 days, and repairs follow, with timing that depends on roofing and material availability after widespread storms.
What We Restore After a Storm
- Roofs and attics after wind and hail
- Ceilings and drywall after wind-driven rain
- Basements after flash floods
- Windows, doors, and siding
- Ceilings and walls after ice dams
- Garages and outbuildings
- Contents and furniture
- Commercial roofs and storefronts
