Elkins Lake at a Look

What's built here: a member-owned lakeside golf community of about 1,000 acres and roughly 2,200 platted home sites, developed from the early 1970s and inside the city limits
Trees and shade: heavy pine and hardwood cover on many lots
Typical roofs: asphalt shingles on larger homes from several decades, some on their second or third roof
The usual call: needle-packed valleys and gutters, hail and wind damage, and replacements on older roofs

A Golf and Lake Community Built From the Early 1970s

Elkins Lake has been building out since the early 1970s, so its streets hold houses from every decade since: early homes that are on their second or third roof, and newer ones still on their first. The lots are wooded, and the community's big trees are part of its appeal. They're also the reason roofs here behave the way they do. Shade keeps north-facing slopes damp, pine needles fill valleys and gutters every fall, and limbs scrape and fall in storms. Larger homes mean bigger roof faces, with more valleys and more places for needles to collect. What you see is often a stain near a valley or a gutter that overflows in every rain. What it usually means is water backing up under the shingles where the needles have dammed it.

Roof Work in Elkins Lake

Big wooded lots are where trimming makes the most difference. Keeping limbs back from the roof and clearing valleys every fall can add years to a shingle roof.
