Tile is one of the most popular choices for roofing in Minneapolis. It is versatile, durable and provides long-term protection for homes. Traditional tiles made from clay or concrete can now be made in various shapes and colors to meet changing trends in architectural styles. The design possibilities are endless when choosing a tile roof. Tile roofing is usually classified into different families: pan and cover tile, S-tile, shingle tile, and interlocking tile. Within each of these families, there are many different styles with choices of size, texture, color, thickness and shape.

Tuckpointing is a process in which we cut or grind out old mortar joints until we reach sound, intact mortar. We then fill the empty portion with the appropriate mortar and tool it so that it matches the chimney. If you neglect your chimney repairs, there can be major consequences. The first is that the interior of your home could end up with serious water damage. Wood could begin to rot, fireboxes could deteriorate, and walls could become stained because water and moisture is able to get in through the imperfections.

Maintaining your masonry and chimney is essential to protecting the value of your home. Chimneys are always exposed to the elements, and over time, repairs will need to be made to keep your chimney safe and in good working condition. Over time, bricks and mortar break down. With missing bricks and mortar, the stability of the chimney will be compromised, making it essential to address the issue immediately. The flashing is what will protect the sheathing, walls, ceiling, framing, and more from water damage.

Do you like leaky basements, rotten wood, cracked foundations, and washed-out landscaping? We didn't think so. At Garlock-French, we can help you avoid all of the above with our expert gutter installation, maintenance, and protection services. Whether you need new gutters installed or a simple cleanout, our team has the experience and expertise to get it done. Gutters are an important part of any building. They move water away from your home so that you will not end up with pools surrounding your foundation.

Even with covers on your gutters, they need to be looked at every so often and maintained in order to work sufficiently. At Garlock-French Roofing, we offer a variety of gutter maintenance services to alleviate any problems that may occur. In addition to debris pulling the gutter down or sagging, the debris can also collect in gutters and downspouts, causing them to clog. This makes the gutters completely ineffective. The gutter crews at Garlock-French have the tools, knowledge, and the specialized training to make sure your gutters are properly maintained to your satisfaction.

With winter right around the corner, you need to prepare your home for harsh weather conditions. If your roof hasn't given you any issues, you might not be too worried. However, there are plenty of roofing issues that become apparent after the moisture comes and you start noticing leaks. Instead of waiting for this to happen, start preparing your roof now. While a thorough roof inspection is best left to the professionals, there are some things you can do on your own. Start by inspecting it from ground level.

Cedar shakes and shingles are a traditional roofing option and must be installed differently than many other types of roofing. Primarily made from red cedar, they can be treated for fire protection and resistance to decay.

If you're looking for roofing that is long-lasting, durable, and even environmentally friendly, then cedar roofing may be right for you. The experts at Garlock-French can help guide you through your selection to fit your specific needs and budget.
