About Ham Lake
Ham Lake sits between Blaine and East Bethel in Anoka County, and it has kept more of its rural character than the suburbs south of it. Larger lots, wooded acreage and custom-built homes are the norm rather than tract developments. Cedar Creek Construction has completed roofing and siding projects across Ham Lake, and it remains one of the areas we work in most often.
Ham Lake is one of the places our crews are most often working, and it is genuinely different from the tighter suburbs to the south. Homes here sit on bigger lots, frequently custom-built rather than tract, and many are surrounded by mature oaks and pines. That changes what an exterior has to deal with: more shade and debris on the roof, more wind exposure on open acreage, and longer gutter runs on wide single-storey homes. We have completed roof replacement, LP siding and new-construction exterior work in Ham Lake.
Ham Lake Homes We Work On
There is no single Ham Lake house. You will find 1970s and 1980s ramblers on acreage, brick ranches on established lots, and newer custom builds with steep pitches and mixed material fronts. What they share is size and exposure: wide footprints, long roof planes and long gutter runs, often with detached garages, pole buildings or outbuildings that need the same roofing and siding attention as the house. Mature tree cover is close to universal, and a lot of homes carry LP SmartSide or engineered wood rather than the narrow vinyl common in the older suburbs.
Common Exterior Problems on Ham Lake Homes
Tree cover, debris and shaded roof planes
Oaks and pines over the roof mean constant needle and leaf load in the gutters and north-facing planes that stay damp and grow moss and algae. Gutters on a treed Ham Lake lot fill faster than anywhere in the county, and clogged gutters in a Minnesota winter are how ice dams start. Guards sized for needles rather than leaves, and algae-resistant shingles on the shaded elevations, both earn their cost here.
Wind exposure on open acreage
A home sitting on open ground without a neighbouring house breaking the wind takes uplift that a home in a tight subdivision never sees. Ridge caps, rake edges and the first few courses along the eaves are where that shows up. Proper nailing patterns and starter strip at the perimeter matter more here than the shingle warranty on paper.
Long gutter runs on wide single-storey homes
Wide ramblers and ranches concentrate a lot of roof into a few long gutter runs. Undersized 5-inch gutter with too few downspouts overflows at the same corners every heavy rain and ices in the same spots every winter. Six-inch seamless with downspouts placed for the actual roof area is the fix, and on a wide home it is a meaningful upgrade rather than a cosmetic one.
Outbuildings and detached garages
Pole buildings, shops and detached garages are common on Ham Lake properties and they age faster than the house because nobody looks at them. Doing them at the same time as the main roof usually costs less per square than a separate trip later, and it keeps the property looking consistent.
