Roof Replacement
Our roof replacement service provides complete installation of asphalt shingle, metal, tile, cedar, slate, and EPDM roofing systems. We use premium materials and precise techniques to ensure long-lasting protection against Minnesota's weather extremes. Each project includes a thorough inspection of underlying structures to guarantee optimal performance and energy efficiency.
Storm Damage
We specialize in rapid storm damage assessment and restoration for roofs, siding, and gutters. Our team handles insurance documentation, temporary repairs, and full system restoration. With 24/7 emergency availability, we prevent further property damage through swift intervention and comprehensive repairs using manufacturer-certified materials.
Chimney Tuckpointing
Our chimney restoration services include tuckpointing, crown replacement, and full structural rebuilding. We use matching mortar compounds and weather-resistant sealants to restore structural integrity. Regular maintenance prevents water intrusion that could damage roofing systems and interior walls while maintaining your home's aesthetic value.
Custom Metal Work
We design and install custom metal roofing systems tailored to Minnesota's climate. Options include standing seam panels, corrugated metal, and decorative accents. Our fabrication shop creates precise components for leak-proof installations that offer superior durability against snow, ice, and wind compared to traditional materials.
Gutter Maintenance
Our gutter services include installation, cleaning, and repair of seamless aluminum systems. We optimize water diversion to protect foundations from erosion and basement flooding. Annual maintenance plans ensure proper drainage function, preventing ice dam formation and structural water damage through proactive system inspections.
