When a gale rolls off Lake Superior and slams into the Hillside, it does not arrive gently. Duluth sits on a slope that funnels wind straight off open water, and that same geography that gives Congdon Park and Piedmont Heights their views also leaves rooflines, siding, and windows exposed to gusts that flatten trees and peel shingles in minutes. Historic craftsman homes near Chester Creek and colonial revivals along London Road were not built to sit exposed after a storm strips their protection. Perrault Construction has answered storm calls across Duluth for over 50 years, and we know that a compromised roof on a Hillside home during a November gale is not a project that can wait for next week. We show up fast, assess the real damage, and get your property sealed and protected before the next system rolls in off the big lake.
From steep-pitched roofs above Congdon Park to lower-slope homes near Lincoln Park, we repair shingle, metal, and flat roofing systems torn apart by lake wind and hail, restoring your home's first line of defense fast.
Wind-driven debris and hail dent and crack siding across the Hillside and Lakeside neighborhoods. We restore your exterior walls to stop moisture from reaching framing during the next rain off the lake.
Lake-facing windows take the worst of wind-driven hail and debris. We repair or replace shattered glass, damaged frames, and compromised seals so your home stays sealed against Duluth's next system.
We document every detail of storm damage on your Duluth property and work directly with your insurer, so you are not left navigating a claim alone while a tarp sits over your roof.
When a storm strips your roof or siding, we tarp and secure your property immediately to prevent secondary water damage while we schedule permanent Duluth repairs.

We prioritize emergency calls and typically have a team on-site within hours to assess damage and provide emergency tarping if needed, especially during active storm seasons off Lake Superior.
Duluth's hillside geography channels wind coming off Lake Superior, intensifying gusts as they move uphill through neighborhoods like the Hillside and Piedmont Heights, which increases roof and siding stress during storms.
