Hip Roof

When considering roofing services like roof replacement, it pays to know what type of roof you have, whether a hip roof, gable roof, or flat roof. Hip roofs are popular in areas like Minnesota that get snow and storms because they’re designed to let precipitation flow away from the top of the roof and away from the house.

We have experience with roofing and gutters, as well as siding and windows, so we can help you fully restore and improve your home’s exterior.
