Real Project, Real Results

Metal Roof on a 1920s Bungalow in Seward

Last fall we replaced a failing asphalt roof with a standing-seam metal system on a home near Seward Co-op. The owners wanted something that would last through our harsh winters and look good doing it.

In October 2023, we installed a Malarkey Vista Cool Color Series metal roof on a 1,500 sq ft bungalow on 26th Ave S in the Seward neighborhood. The old 3-tab shingles had ice dam damage and curling edges. We stripped everything down to the deck, installed a full ice-and-water shield, and used 26-gauge steel panels in Slate Gray. The homeowners chose Cool Color because it reflects infrared light — keeps the attic cooler in summer. We also replaced all flashing around the chimney and skylights. Total cost was $14,200. The job took 4 days. They got a 50-year transferable warranty and their insurance claim covered most of it since we handled the paperwork. They haven’t had a single ice dam since.

Quick Answers

Metal Roofing Questions — Straight Talk, No Fluff

We’ve been installing metal roofs in Minneapolis since 2012. Here’s what our neighbors usually ask before booking a free inspection.

How much does metal roofing cost in Minneapolis?

Cost depends on roof size, pitch, and material. On average, expect $8–$16 per square foot installed. We give free, no-obligation estimates — just call (612) 979-0693 or click "Get Your Free Roof Inspection."

Will a metal roof handle Minnesota snow and ice dams?

Yes — metal roofs shed snow better than asphalt, and with proper ice and water shield underlayment, they resist ice dams. We’ve installed them on homes near Lake Street and Nicollet Ave for over a decade.

How long does a metal roof last?

Premium metal roofs from Malarkey, CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas can last 40–70 years with 50-year transferable warranties. We’ve seen 14 years of Minneapolis weather — metal holds up.

Is metal roofing noisy in rain or hail?

Not with proper solid decking and attic insulation. Most of our customers say it’s quieter than they expected. We use premium underlayment that dampens sound.

Do you handle insurance claims for metal roofs?

Yes — we manage the entire insurance claim process from start to finish. We’re licensed (MN #BC-37482), insured, and have helped hundreds of Minneapolis homeowners get fair settlements.

Can you install metal over my existing shingles?

In most cases, we recommend a full tear-off for best performance and warranty. But we’ll inspect your roof first and give honest advice — no pushy sales.

Do you offer free estimates for metal roofing?

Absolutely — every project starts with a free, no-obligation roof inspection. Just request yours and we’ll come out, measure, and talk options.
