Most importantly, you’re done. One project, one point of contact, one company that handled everything from start to finish. No surprises, no runaround, no wondering if you made the right choice.

Everything Your Roof Project Needs

New roof installation with GAF or Owens Corning materials comes with enhanced manufacturer warranties. Storm damage repairs handled with insurance company coordination. Roof replacement projects include complete tear-off, deck inspection, and proper ventilation systems.

Lake Elmo homes face unique challenges from ice dams, hail damage, and heavy snow loads. Your roofing contractor needs to understand these local conditions and build accordingly. Proper underlayment, ice and water shield placement, and ventilation aren’t optional here.

You’ll also get gutters, siding, windows, and other exterior work coordinated as one project. No waiting for the roofer to finish before the siding contractor can start. No gaps in scheduling or miscommunication between trades.

How do I know if I need roof repair or complete replacement?

Age is the biggest factor, but not the only one. Most asphalt shingle roofs in Minnesota last 20-25 years with proper maintenance. However, if you’re seeing multiple leaks, missing or curling shingles, or granules washing into your gutters, replacement might be more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. A thorough inspection will reveal the deck condition underneath, which often determines whether repair is viable. Storm damage can also accelerate replacement needs, even on newer roofs. The honest answer is that every roof is different, and you need someone who’ll give you straight information rather than pushing you toward the most expensive option.

What roofing materials work best for Minnesota weather conditions?

Architectural shingles from GAF or Owens Corning perform well in our climate, especially their impact-resistant lines designed for hail-prone areas. These materials handle freeze-thaw cycles better than basic three-tab shingles and offer better wind resistance. Metal roofing is another excellent option for Minnesota, particularly for snow shedding and longevity. The key isn’t just the shingle choice, though. Proper underlayment, ice and water shield installation, and ventilation systems are critical for preventing ice dams and moisture problems. Your contractor’s installation methods matter more than the brand name on the shingle.

How long does a typical roof replacement take in Lake Elmo?

Most residential roof replacements take 2-4 days, depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. Tear-off and deck inspection happen first, followed by underlayment and shingle installation. Weather delays are common in Minnesota, so we build flexibility into the schedule. Complex rooflines, multiple chimneys, or coordination with other exterior work can extend the timeline. You’ll get a realistic schedule upfront, with daily updates if conditions change. The goal is quality work, not speed records. Rushing a roof installation to meet an arbitrary deadline usually creates problems later.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover storm damage to my roof?

Most policies cover sudden storm damage like hail or wind, but coverage varies significantly between companies and policy types. Age of your roof, maintenance history, and specific damage cause all affect claim outcomes. Insurance companies often send adjusters who may miss damage or underestimate repair costs. Having an experienced roofing contractor document damage and work with your adjuster can make a significant difference in claim approval and payout amounts. We’ve worked with most major insurance companies and understand their processes. The key is getting proper documentation and professional estimates before accepting any settlement offer.

What warranties come with new roof installation?

You’ll get two types of warranties: manufacturer material warranties and contractor workmanship warranties. Standard manufacturer warranties cover defects for 25-30 years, but enhanced warranties through certified contractors like us offer better coverage and easier claim processes. Our workmanship warranty covers installation issues for several years. GAF and Owens Corning certification allows us to offer their premium warranty programs, which include coverage for both materials and labor. Keep all warranty documentation in a safe place, and understand what maintenance requirements might affect coverage. Regular inspections and prompt repairs help maintain warranty validity.

Can you handle other exterior work besides roofing?

Yes, we’re a complete exterior renovation company. Roofing, siding, windows, gutters, insulation, and related carpentry work can all be coordinated as one project. This eliminates scheduling conflicts between different contractors and ensures consistent quality across all work. Many homeowners prefer handling their entire exterior renovation at once rather than dealing with multiple companies over several years. Our design services help you visualize how different materials and colors work together. You’ll get one point of contact, one timeline, and coordinated warranties for all exterior work. This approach often saves money compared to hiring separate contractors for each trade.
