Supporting Local Heroes: Special Savings Available For Veterans & First Responders
St. Francis is a small city along the Rum River near the Anoka and Isanti county line, with a rural, small town character similar to nearby East Bethel and Oak Grove. Elevation Exteriors already lists St. Francis directly as part of its core service area, and the connection runs deeper than a service radius on a map. Owner Dylan Copenhaver serves as Vice President of the St. Francis Area Chamber of Commerce, which means Elevation Exteriors has a direct, ongoing stake in the community beyond just answering calls here. Homes along the Rum River corridor share some of the same older riverside housing stock considerations found in Anoka further downstream, which can mean aging attic ventilation on properties that have not been updated in years.
Signs you have an ice dam
Thick ridges of ice along the roof edge or gutters
Large icicles hanging from eaves, gutters, or soffits
Water stains, bubbling paint, or damp spots on ceilings and walls
Water dripping from light fixtures, windows, or exterior walls
Sagging, detached, or ice packed gutters
Ice forming on exterior walls below the roofline

Why it matters
St. Francis homes along the Rum River corridor can carry the same aging attic insulation and ventilation risk found in other river towns like Anoka, particularly on older properties that have not had a ventilation reassessment in years.
Poor attic insulation that lets heat escape and warms the roof deck from underneath.
Inadequate attic ventilation that keeps the underside of the roof warmer than the outside air.
Air leaks around recessed lights, attic hatches, vents, and chimneys that let warm household air reach the attic.
Heavy snowfall followed by freeze thaw cycles which are common through a Minnesota winter.
Roof design and older or worn roofing materials that let water back up under the shingles once ice has formed.
When it makes sense to act
Sooner for older homes along the Rum River corridor. Aging attic systems near the river are more likely to produce a recurring ice dam than a recently built home further from the water.
Before a leak affects a home in a community Elevation Exteriors is personally invested in. With ownership actively involved in the St. Francis Area Chamber of Commerce, a St. Francis ice dam call gets the same attention as a call from Andover or Oak Grove.
Elevation Exteriors is licensed and insured with fifteen years serving the Twin Cities, and lists St. Francis directly as part of its service area. Ownership's involvement with the St. Francis Area Chamber of Commerce reflects an active, ongoing relationship with the community, not just a service radius on a map.
Call or fill out the form and a dedicated point of contact gets you scheduled quickly.
The ice buildup, roof condition, and any interior damage are inspected to identify what is actually causing it.
A free, accurate estimate is walked through line by line so every question gets answered before work starts.
The crew safely removes the ice and makes any needed repairs, with text updates the whole way.
The home is left clean, along with a plan to help prevent ice dams from returning next winter.
Elevation Exteriors also removes ice dams in the cities bordering St. Francis: East Bethel and Andover.
Yes. Elevation Exteriors offers emergency ice dam removal throughout the St. Francis area, and calling (763) 331-1906 gets you scheduled as soon as possible rather than waiting until the ice has already caused interior damage.
Cost depends on the size of the roof, how much ice has built up, how accessible the roof is, and whether shingles, flashing, or gutters already need repair. A free estimate for a St. Francis home accounts for these specifics rather than quoting a flat rate over the phone.
Coverage depends on the specific policy. Elevation Exteriors documents the ice dam damage and communicates directly with the adjuster, which is the same process used for any homeowner in the service area regardless of city.
The connection is direct. Ownership is actively involved in the St. Francis Area Chamber of Commerce, and St. Francis is named specifically among the cities Elevation Exteriors serves for ice dam removal.
