Frequently Asked Questions

Most asphalt shingle roof replacements in the Twin Cities run between $8,000 and $18,000 for a typical 1,700-square-foot home. The final number depends on roof pitch, number of layers, and whether we find rot or decay in the decking underneath. You'll get a free estimate with a line-item breakdown before any work starts. We'll walk your roof, measure every plane, and note any soft spots or granule loss. That way, the price we quote is the price you pay.

Yes. Hailstorms in late spring and heavy snowfall can cause granule loss, bruising, and punctures that insurers cover. As a licensed Minneapolis roofing contractor, we document damage with photos, meet your adjuster on-site, and help you file the claim. We work with most major carriers and can explain what's covered before you sign anything. If you're unsure whether your roof has storm damage, call us for a free inspection. We'll tell you honestly if a repair or replacement is warranted.

We install architectural asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and flat roofing systems for low-slope roofs. For asphalt, we offer GAF and Owens Corning lines with warranties up to 50 years. Metal roofs handle hail better and shed snow more easily, which matters in our freeze-thaw climate. For flat roofs, we use TPO and EPDM membranes that resist ponding water and UV damage. Every material we install comes with manufacturer certification, and we'll help you choose based on your home's style and budget.

Look for missing shingles, curling edges, or granules in your gutters. If you see daylight through the roof deck, that's an emergency. Water stains on ceilings mean water has already seeped through. A roof older than 20 years with widespread cracking or end-of-life wear usually needs replacement. But isolated damage from a fallen branch might only need a repair. Our inspectors check for rot, sag, and fastener issues. We'll give you a straight answer and a free estimate for either option.
