Roofing
How do I know if I need a new roof?
Widespread curling or cracked shingles, heavy granule loss, repeated leaks and soft decking are common signs. An inspection will tell you for sure.
Do you do tear-offs or layovers?
We recommend full tear-offs so the deck can be inspected and ice and water protection installed properly.
What roofing materials do you install?
Architectural asphalt shingles for most homes, and composite (synthetic) slate and shake such as Brava for a premium look.
How much will my roof cost?
It depends on size, pitch, tear-off layers, decking and materials. We provide written proposals after an inspection rather than publishing prices.
Storm damage & insurance
Will my insurance cover my roof?
Only your insurer can decide that under your policy. We document damage and explain the process.
Can you pay or waive my deductible?
No. Minnesota law prohibits contractors from offering to pay, waive or rebate an insurance deductible.
Will you talk to my adjuster?
We can be present during the adjuster's inspection to share what we found. We don't act as a public adjuster or negotiate your claim.
Siding, windows & gutters
What siding do you install?
LP SmartSide engineered wood siding and other common siding types.
What windows do you use?
Brands we install include Andersen, Kolbe, Marvin, Pella and Weather Shield, including high-end lines such as Andersen A-Series and E-Series, Kolbe Ultra Series and VistaLuxe, Marvin Ultimate, Pella Reserve, and Weather Shield Premium Series and Contemporary Collection.
Can you do roof, siding and windows together?
Yes, and coordinating them often makes flashing and trim details cleaner.
