How to inspect your roof for damage
2Code’s inspection guide covers impact marks, peeling tabs, bubbling and cracks. Read it from the ground before considering a ladder.
The damage was already there.
A hail bruise is easy to miss. A documented one is harder to dismiss. Minneapolis storm restoration, from the first chalk mark to the insurance supplement.

“I engaged 2Code Exteriors to help me through an insurance claim for hail damage. While my insurance company initially denied my claim (except for dents in vents and other metals), 2Code was persistent, professional, methodical and knowledgeable. In the end I got a new roof, new vents and valley metals, new window wraps, new siding, and even new screens on my porch. The end result exceeded my expectations considerably.”

One mark.
A place in the claim.
Their own inspection guide calls for a ladder, chalk, shoes with more surface area, and something to document the findings.
Built to the
material.
From the shingle mat to the hidden gutter bracket. The materials and methods in 2Code’s own specifications.
Roofing
Asphalt / Metal / Cedar / TPO-EPDM. Inspections, repair and replacement. A repair comes first when it will do the job.
Published roof lives: asphalt 20 years · wood shake 25 · slate, tile, copper 30
Siding
Vinyl / Steel / Fiber cement / Stucco. Ply Gem, EDCO and James Hardie. A small house with pre-finished siding may take a week; replacement can take up to four weeks.
Gutters
Continuous lengths, rolled on site. Hidden brackets and leaf guards. 2Code recommends .032 inch aluminum and publishes lives of up to 25 years for aluminum and 100 for copper.
Windows
Nine styles. Andersen / Pella / Milgard. From double-hung to custom. 2Code’s window guide puts air lost through windows at roughly 30 percent of circulated HVAC air.
Basements
Finishing and remodeling, down to the square foot. The following are 2Code’s published planning formulas.
Drywall / sq ft$3.50 to $7.75
Flooring / sq ftEstimate required
Carpet install / sq ftEstimate required
Drywall uses wall and ceiling area. Flooring and carpet use floor area. Published formulas assume HVAC and electrical are complete and no removal is needed. Your project needs an estimate.

“Javano and his team are the absolute best!
They guided us through a very long insurance process with very good outcomes.
And their quality of work is fantastic. The roof, siding, and facia are beautiful!”
“2 Code Exteriors was a wonderful company with which to work. The process was clearly explained. The roofers arrived when expected, were efficient and our yard was completely clear of any debris. Questions were answered courteously and with good resolve for both. The process with the insurance details was easy for us as homeowners. I would recommend this company without hesitation. Should our roof be damaged again, I will be contacting 2 Code Exteriors.”
