It’s safe to say the Summer of 2020 has been like no other, and locally owned contractors have been quick to adapt to the new normal of contact-free appointments and rigorous health standards to ensure the safety of employees and homeowners. Adding another layer to the current “new normal,” the recent hail storms that damaged homes in Edina, Eden Prairie, Chanhassen and other suburbs, combined with the period of time roofing and siding manufacturers had to shutter during the Coronavirus lockdown, the Twin Cities area is facing supply chain issues with vital construction materials.

Typically, following a hail storm, replacing a roof can happen in a matter of weeks. With the recent shortages, homeowners are urged to reach out to locally trusted contractors like Trinity Exteriors for a free storm inspection, so materials can be ordered quickly and work can begin before the season changes.

In the meantime, most roofing manufacturers have focused their current production to their core colors and siding manufacturers have doubled or tripled their lead times for most products.  With the current demand it doesn't look like things will be returning to normal till demand slows down over the winter months.
