Roofing in Breezy Point, MN

Breezy Point started as a resort. Captain Billy Fawcett opened it on the west shore of Pelican Lake in 1921, and a century later the town still runs on lake life — the resort, the Whitebirch golf courses, and the Paul Bunyan Scenic Byway looping through on its 54-mile run around the lake country.

About Breezy Point

The housing here splits three ways: resort-area properties and townhomes near the golf courses, lakefront homes on Pelican Lake that commonly list from $800,000 to $1.6 million, and year-round family homes tucked into the pines off County Road 11. A large share of owners are seasonal — up from the Cities for summer weekends, gone by October. Their roofs work all winter with nobody watching.

What Breezy Point roofs deal with

Pelican Lake is big, open water. West and north exposures take sustained wind off the lake, which works at shingle edges and flashings year after year. Snow loads are the same story as the rest of Crow Wing County — real weight, all winter. Ice dams hit hardest on seasonal places where nobody is home to notice the icicles forming at the eaves. We find that damage in April if the owner has not had the roof checked.

For lakefront and golf-course properties we quote a lot of standing seam metal — it sheds snow, shrugs off wind, and holds its looks for fifty-plus years. Premium architectural shingles rated for high wind cover most everything else. Every job gets its own project page with photos before, during, and after, so owners in the Cities can watch the work happen from their desk.
