Roofing Materials and Roof Types We Install
Not every building needs the same roof system. Asphalt shingles are the most common choice for pitched roofs in Minnesota because they balance cost, durability, and ease of replacement. Metal roofing holds up longer and sheds snow faster, which makes it a smart pick for steeper slopes or properties in areas with heavy accumulation. Tile systems add weight but deliver decades of performance on the right structure.
For low-slope and flat roofs on commercial buildings or additions, we install membrane systems that seal out water without relying on pitch. Whatever roofing options fit your project, we help you compare roof types side by side so you're not guessing at the right call.
New Construction Roofing vs. Replacement Roofs
New construction roofing works from a clean deck, which makes material and layout choices simpler. Replacement roofs add a step: we assess what's underneath before committing to a roofing installation plan. Sometimes the deck is solid and ready. Sometimes it needs partial replacement before the new roofing goes down. We check it honestly and show you what we find.
Both paths end with a complete roof built to current Minnesota code, backed by manufacturer warranties on the materials and our own workmanship guarantee. Whether it's a brand-new build or a home that's had the same shingles for twenty-five years, the installation standard doesn't change.
What Goes Into a Complete Roof System
A roofing system is more than the top layer you see from the street. It includes decking, underlayment, ice-and-water shield, drip edge, ventilation components, and flashing around every penetration. Skip any of those and you'll find out why they matter the first hard winter. We install every layer of the roof system because a partial job creates partial protection.
This is also why our final inspection matters. We walk the finished roof ourselves before we consider the job closed. If something's off, we fix it before we hand you the paperwork.
