Hail-Damage Roof Replacement in Lindstrom, Minnesota

After a summer hailstorm rolled across Chisago County, a Lindstrom homeowner called Adventure Companies. We documented the damage, walked the roof with the insurance adjuster, and delivered a brand-new Owens Corning Duration shingle roof — all while handling the claim paperwork from start to finish.

The challenge

A hailstorm, a denied first look, and a homeowner running out of time.

The homeowner had noticed shingle granules in the downspouts and dings on the gutters after a fast-moving hail cell crossed Highway 8. A first inspection from another contractor came back inconclusive, and they were nervous about the 12-month claim window closing on their policy.

They called Adventure Companies for a second opinion. Within 48 hours we were on the roof with chalk, a tape measure, and a camera — documenting every impact across the roof slopes, soft metals, and AC fins.

The insurance claim

We walked the roof with the adjuster — and the claim was approved in full.

Filing a hail claim is intimidating when you've never done it before. We handled the steps that homeowners shouldn't have to learn on the fly: a written, photo-backed damage report, on-site adjuster meeting, scope review, and supplements for items the carrier's first scope missed.

The carrier approved a full roof replacement plus gutters, downspouts, two pipe boots, and detached-structure damage on the shed. The homeowner's only out-of-pocket cost was their policy deductible.

The system we installed

Owens Corning Duration® shingles — built for Minnesota weather.

For this Lindstrom home we recommended Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles. They're the workhorse of the Owens Corning lineup and a proven match for the freeze-thaw cycles, wind, and hail we see across Chisago County.

  • SureNail® Technology — a woven fabric nailing strip for 130 mph wind resistance
  • Triple-layer reinforcement at the common bond area for extra tear strength
  • Tru-Bond® sealant for tight, weather-locked shingle courses
  • Limited lifetime warranty with eligible system upgrade
  • Color-matched hip & ridge caps for a finished look
  • TruDefinition® color blends that hold up against UV fade

Behind the shingles we installed ice-and-water shield at all eaves, valleys, and penetrations, synthetic underlayment across the field, new pipe boots, step flashing, drip edge, and properly balanced intake/exhaust ventilation.

The result

A watertight roof, an approved claim, and a homeowner who didn't have to fight for either.

"We had no idea where to start with the insurance company. Adventure Companies handled the whole thing — they met the adjuster, explained every line of the estimate, and the new Owens Corning roof looks fantastic. We'd recommend them to any neighbor in Chisago County."
