About Minneapolis Roof Pros

Minneapolis Roof Pros started with one truck and a small crew working bungalows in Longfellow and Northeast. Every homeowner still gets a written roof estimate before a ladder touches the gutters.

Minneapolis weather punishes a roofline. Heavy snowfall and ice dams push meltwater back under the shingles at the eave, and rapid freeze-thaw cycles pry at every valley and flashing seam.

Late-spring hail bruises asphalt shingles, knocks granules loose, and leaves a rooftop that still looks fine from the street. By fall, water has already started to wick into the decking.

We match materials to the house. Post-WWII ramblers get architectural shingles over synthetic underlayment and a self-adhered ice-and-water shield set with a hand roller.

Flat roofs get TPO, EPDM, PVC membrane, or modified bitumen over a fresh substrate. Standing-seam metal panels, corrugated panels, and clay tile suit homes that want a longer service life than three-tab shingle.

Our crews work to Minneapolis building code, not to a shortcut. We tear off old roofing felt and tar paper down to the sheathing and check plywood and OSB for rot.

If water wicked in over a hard winter, we replace the damaged rafter or truss before anything goes back on. Recover or overlay only happens when the decking is sound and the homeowner agrees.

A roof inspection is where we start. We walk the roofline, photograph every problem, and hand you a line-item roof estimate the same day.

• Granule loss in the gutters and downspouts, which usually signals asphalt shingles near end-of-life wear.
• Curling or missing shingle tabs along the rake, the eave, and the ridge cap.
• Stained ceiling drywall under a valley, a dormer, or a chimney flashing detail.
• Ice dams that seep behind the drip edge and stain the soffit or fascia every spring.
• Sag or settle in the roofline, which points to a wet roof deck or a failing ridge beam.
• Daylight or damp insulation around a pipe boot, vent boot, or skylight curb.

During the install, step flashing and counter-flashing get replaced at every sidewall. Chimney flashing, pipe flashing, and vent boots get new metal, and each seam is sealed with mastic, roof cement, or a bead of sealant and caulk.

We pick the adhesive that matches the substrate instead of defaulting to one tube for every detail.

Fasteners matter more than most homeowners realize. We set ring-shank nails with a nail gun and air compressor, keep screws seated so nothing is overdriven, and lay a starter course before the first field course goes down.

Courses are staggered so joints never line up, and the ridge gets a ridge cap and ridge vent. Without ventilation, attic heat cooks the underlayment and shingles age twice as fast.

We add insulation and a vapor barrier where the attic needs it, plus a soffit vent or attic fan if the intake is too small. Snow guards above a doorway stop sheets of snow from sliding onto the walk.

Gutters and downspouts get checked on every job, because a clogged gutter backs water under the drip edge and rots the fascia board behind it.

Flat and low-slope work is different. A membrane fails when ponding water sits at a scupper or a parapet, so we check the coping and the drains before we quote a coating system.

White coating on a modified bitumen or built-up roof can cut attic heat and add years to a roof that is not ready for replacement.

Not every house looks the same. We work on hip and gable roofs, mansard and gambrel shapes, and short overhangs on newer townhomes. Dormers, skylights, and canopies all change how water leaves a roof.

Wood shake, cedar shake, slate, and concrete tile each need a different walking path and a different fastener pattern.

We set ladders on stable ground, use scaffold or a safety harness on steep pitch, and anchor to a ridge beam when the deck is soft.

Under the shingles, the structure decides how long a roof lasts. If a joist or purlin has sagged, or a batten and counterbatten grid has come loose, we fix the framing first.

Every job gets the same waterproofing and weatherproofing standard at the verge, the rake, and the gable ends.

Our roofers are trained on steep-pitch work, and every rooftop gets the same checklist whether it sits in Uptown or North Minneapolis.

Tools on our trucks are the boring kind that work: a roofing square, a pry bar, a roofing shovel, and a dumpster parked where it blocks the least driveway. A torch comes out only for torch-applied modified bitumen details.

Old shingles leave in a dumpster bound for recycling rather than a landfill, and we reuse sound plywood sheathing instead of replacing it by default. That keeps a roof project lighter on your budget.

Energy efficiency comes from the details: a reflective coating, proper attic ventilation, and insulation that meets current code. A cooler attic means a cooler upstairs bedroom in July.

Insurance claim assistance is part of the job after a storm. We document the damage, meet your adjuster inspection, and give you a line-item estimate that matches the insurance scope.

Commercial roofing, siding, and gutter installation all run through the same crew and the same standard.
