Roofs Direct works alongside builders across Minnesota to install roofing systems on new construction projects without slowing down your timeline. We coordinate directly with general contractors, show up when we're supposed to, and finish the job right the first time. Whether it's a new home or a larger commercial build, we fit into your schedule, not the other way around.
We've been installing roofs in Minnesota for over 28 years. That means we know what builders expect from a roofing crew. We don't need to be managed. We pull up, do the work, and get off the job site so the next trade can move in.
As a construction company category contractor, we work residential and commercial jobs. Smaller crews on custom homes, bigger crews on multi-unit builds. Either way, the same standard applies. No callbacks, no shortcuts, no surprises on the final walkthrough.
Once we're on the schedule, we contact the general contractor directly to confirm the stage of the build. We time our arrival so we're not waiting on framing and framing isn't waiting on us. Our crew installs the decking, underlayment, flashing, and shingles in sequence. Before we leave the site, we do our own inspection and make sure every penetration is sealed and every ridge is clean. You get a roof that passes inspection the first time.
Minnesota winters are hard on roofs that weren't installed correctly to begin with. Freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams, and heavy snow loads are facts of life here, not edge cases. That's why we use underlayment and ventilation specs built for cold climates, not just whatever meets minimum code. A new construction roof in Minnesota needs to handle -30 wind chills and spring melt in the same season. We've been doing this long enough to know what holds up and what doesn't.
Delays on a new home build cost money. A roofing crew that misses their window can push back every trade behind them. We schedule tight and we show up. Our crews are familiar with new construction sequencing, so we work with your framing and drywall timelines, not against them.
We handle everything from the ice and water shield at the eaves to the ridge cap at the peak. When we're done, the roof is ready for the next inspection. No punch list items left behind.
Most of our new construction work in Minnesota splits between residential and commercial projects. On the residential side, that means custom homes, spec builds, and planned developments. On the commercial side, we've covered everything from small retail builds to larger multi-use structures.
The materials and techniques shift depending on the roof pitch and load requirements, but the standard of work doesn't. Every project gets the same attention to flashing detail and proper ventilation, because those are the two things that fail first when they're rushed.
