Roofing Materials

What We Install

Not every home needs the same solution. We install a range of roofing systems and help you choose the right material for your roof type, budget, and performance expectations.

Most Popular
Asphalt Shingles
The most common roofing material in Minnesota — durable, cost-effective, and available in a wide range of styles and colors. We install Owens Corning and GAF asphalt shingle systems, including architectural and high-definition options designed for Minnesota's climate.
Impact Resistant
Architectural & Impact-Resistant Shingles
Dimensional shingles that add depth and visual appeal, with upgraded options that carry Class 4 impact resistance ratings. In hail-prone markets like the Twin Cities, impact-resistant shingles can also qualify you for a discount on your homeowners insurance premium.
Premium Option
Synthetic Roofing
Engineered polymer roofing products that replicate the look of slate, cedar shake, or tile — with significantly better durability and weight. Ideal for homeowners who want a premium aesthetic without the maintenance requirements of natural materials.
Flat & Low-Slope
EPDM Roofing
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is the industry-standard rubber membrane for flat and low-slope roofing applications — garages, additions, and low-pitch sections. Highly durable, flexible in cold temperatures, and long-lasting with proper installation.
OC Certified
Owens Corning Systems
As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we install complete OC roofing systems with access to enhanced warranty options — including the Duration Series and TruDefinition lines. OC shingles are engineered specifically for performance in harsh climates like Minnesota's.
GAF Certified
GAF Roofing Systems
GAF Certified status means our installations meet GAF's standards for quality and craftsmanship, giving customers access to GAF's system warranties. GAF is North America's largest roofing manufacturer, offering a wide range of shingle lines from entry-level to premium.

Common Questions

Residential Roofing FAQ

How long does a roof replacement take in Minnesota?
Most residential roof replacements in the Twin Cities are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex roofs may take two days. We provide a clear timeline before work begins and keep you updated throughout the project.
How do I know if I need a replacement or just a repair?
It depends on the age of your roof, the extent and distribution of the damage, and whether issues are isolated or widespread. We offer free inspections and will give you an honest read — we'll recommend a repair if that's all you need.
Does homeowners insurance cover roof replacement?
If your roof was damaged by hail, wind, or another covered storm event, your homeowners insurance will typically cover most or all of the replacement cost minus your deductible. We help homeowners document damage and advocate for fair settlements.
What roofing materials do you install?
We install asphalt shingles, architectural and impact-resistant shingles, synthetic roofing, and EPDM flat roofing. We're an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and GAF Certified, giving customers access to enhanced warranty options on qualifying systems.
How much does a new roof cost in the Twin Cities?
Cost varies based on roof size, pitch, material, and condition of the existing deck. We provide free, itemized estimates with no pressure. If the project involves a storm damage claim, we also help you maximize your insurance settlement.
