Golden ValleyGolden Valley's mid-century modern homes need roofers who get them
Golden Valley has one of the metro's best collections of mid-century modern houses. Low slopes, wide overhangs and clerestory windows make for roofs that don't behave like a standard gable.
Mid-century and beyond
Golden Valley grew in the 1950s and 1960s along wooded hills, Bassett Creek, and around the Theodore Wirth Regional Park edge. Many homes from that period were architect-designed, with long horizontal lines and low-pitched roofs.
Those designs look great but can be tough on Minnesota winters. Snow sits longer on low slopes, and wide overhangs can hide ventilation problems. We look at both.
Golden Valley FAQ
Can you put shingles on my low-slope roof?
Shingles need a minimum pitch to shed water. Sections below that need a different roofing system, and we'll be clear about which parts of your roof we can and can't do with shingles.
Can new siding keep the mid-century look?
Yes. Panel and lap profiles in engineered wood can suit modern lines. See siding.
