Saint PaulSt. Paul homes deserve roofers who take their time
From the grand houses along Summit Avenue to the bungalows of Highland Park and Como, St. Paul's homes have character worth protecting.
Why St. Paul is different
St. Paul is an older city with neighborhoods that grew up around streetcar lines. Many homes are well over a century old. Neighborhoods like Macalester-Groveland, Highland Park, Como Park and Payne-Phalen each have their own mix of styles, and the historic districts around Summit Avenue and Ramsey Hill have their own review processes for exterior changes.
If your home is in a designated historic district, exterior changes may need approval from the city's Heritage Preservation Commission. We'll help you understand what applies before choosing materials.
St. Paul roofing FAQ
My house is in a historic district. Can I still replace the roof?
Usually, yes, but material and appearance requirements may apply. Check with the City of St. Paul, and we'll factor the requirements into the proposal.
Is composite slate allowed on older homes?
It depends on the district and the home. Composite roofing is one option when a slate look is the goal. We'll confirm before you commit.
My house has built-in box gutters. Can you work with them?
We can inspect them and talk through repair or conversion options. Box gutters are a common leak source on older homes.
On a St. Paul inspection we look at
Older homes have more layers of history: past re-roofs, chimney work, porch additions, and dormers added when attics were finished. Each one is a place water can get in.
Our goal is to find the real source of any problem and give you a clear choice between repair and replacement.
