Roofing
The perfect opportunity to upgrade your exterior. After a storm, the material going back on your roof has to outperform what came off. Every option we install is chosen for impact resistance, wind uplift performance, long term durability, and lasting curb-appeal. We walk through each option with you and recommend what fits your home, your goals, and the scope documented on your claim.
GAF Timberline HDZ
Timberline HDZ is the best selling shingle in North America, and the reason starts at the nail line. GAF's LayerLock Technology mechanically fuses the common bond between shingle layers, which makes room for the StrikeZone nailing area, the widest in the industry. A bigger target means more accurate nailing, and accurate nailing is what keeps shingles on the roof when a summer storm rolls through. Installed with four qualifying GAF accessories, the roof becomes eligible for the WindProven limited wind warranty, which carries no maximum wind speed. As a GAF Certified Plus contractor, we can also walk you through GAF's enhanced warranty options.
- Class 3 impact resistance (UL 2218)
- WindProven limited wind warranty with no wind speed cap when installed as a full GAF system
- 25 year StainGuard Plus algae protection limited warranty
- Class A fire rating and lifetime limited warranty
DaVinci Roofscapes Multi-Width Shake
For homes that had a cedar shake roof before the storm, DaVinci lets homeowners keep the look without keeping the maintenance headaches. These composite shake tiles are molded from real cedar and arrive presorted by color, creating the varied, natural appearance of hand split shake. They're impact resistant, Class A fire rated, and carry a lifetime limited warranty. Real cedar in Minnesota needs regular maintenance and typically lasts 20 to 30 years. DaVinci is built to outlast it with no upkeep required.
- Class 4 impact resistance
- Class A fire rating
- Resistant to algae, insects, and freeze thaw damage
- Lifetime limited material warranty
Unified Steel Barrel-Vault Tile
Barrel-Vault Tile gives a home the look of a traditional Spanish S tile roof without the weight of clay or concrete. Each panel is Galvalume coated steel finished with a stone coating, and the system weighs about 1.5 pounds per square foot, which makes it a practical fit for both retrofits and new construction. For a Minnesota hail belt, the headline is impact performance: Unified Steel was the first stone coated steel roofing in the U.S. to earn the Very Severe Hail rating under the FM 4473 ice ball test. It's backed by a 50 year limited warranty that transfers to the next owner.
- Class 4 hail rating plus FM 4473 Very Severe Hail rating
- Class A fire rating when installed with specified underlayments
- Lightweight at roughly 1.5 lbs per square foot
- 50 year limited, fully transferable warranty
Exposed Fastener Metal Roofing
Exposed fastener panels are an affordable metal option that performs well on agricultural buildings, garages, outbuildings, and steeper residential roofs. Steel or aluminum panels are fastened through the face of the panel with screws and washers sealed with rubber. Installation is straightforward and the profile is clean and functional. Fasteners stay accessible for inspection and replacement over time. It's a practical choice when longevity and low maintenance matter more than a concealed panel look.
- 40 to 70 year lifespan depending on gauge and coating
- Sheds snow load efficiently
- Impact and fire resistant
- Lower installed cost than standing seam
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Standing seam is the premium metal roofing system. Panels interlock at raised seams and every fastener is concealed beneath the surface, which eliminates the penetrations that cause leaks on exposed fastener systems over time. Hidden clips let the metal expand and contract with temperature changes without stressing the fasteners or the substrate underneath. Standing seam is the right call for upscale residential work, low slope roofs, and any project where a clean architectural profile and maximum longevity come first.
- 50 plus year lifespan with proper maintenance
- No exposed fasteners to reseal or replace
- Handles Minnesota temperature extremes without fastener fatigue
- Compatible with solar panel mounting systems
Siding
For siding that looks as good as it performs. Your siding takes the first hit in a storm and keeps taking hits every season after. We install products that resist impact, hold their finish, and perform in the conditions Minnesota actually throws at your house.
LP SmartSide Lap Siding
LP SmartSide is engineered wood siding treated with SmartGuard technology, a process that adds resistance to impact, fungal decay, moisture intrusion, and freeze thaw cycling. It outperforms standard wood fiber siding in cold climates and holds a paint finish better than vinyl over time. Independent testing shows LP SmartSide resists hail damage better than both fiber cement and vinyl. It's available primed or in 16 prefinished ExpertFinish colors and backed by a 50 year prorated limited warranty.
- Resists hail, impact, and freeze thaw damage
- 50 year limited warranty
- Available primed or in 16 prefinished colors
- Cedar or brushed smooth texture options
James Hardie HardiePlank Lap Siding
HardiePlank is fiber cement siding, and the HZ5 version is engineered specifically for climates with snow, ice, freezing temperatures, and hail. It won't rot, it doesn't attract woodpeckers or termites, and it's classified as noncombustible. Choose the ColorPlus Technology finish and the color is fully cured onto the board at the factory, so it resists chipping, peeling, and cracking instead of relying on a field paint job. Available in smooth or wood grain textures across a wide range of widths and colors.
- HZ5 engineered for freeze thaw, snow, ice, and hail
- Noncombustible cladding (ASTM E136)
- ColorPlus factory finish with 15 year limited finish warranty
- 30 year non prorated limited substrate warranty
EDCO Steel Siding
Steel siding built for climates that demand it. EDCO panels are dent resistant, noncombustible, and dimensionally stable through the temperature extremes that make vinyl expand, contract, and crack over time. The finish is applied at the factory, holds color well, and never needs painting. It comes in multiple profiles, including traditional lap and beaded styles, with a full range of factory colors. A strong choice for homeowners who want maximum durability and the look of traditional siding without the maintenance of wood.
- Noncombustible, Class A fire rated
- Dent and impact resistant
- Dimensionally stable through temperature extremes
- Factory finished, no repainting required
