TOP RATED

New Roof Installation

New construction roof installation following IRC Section R905 and local Detroit Lakes building code amendments. We calculate ventilation per IRC R806 (1:150 ratio reduced to 1:300 when 50% is within 3ft of ridge. Synthetic underlayment per ASTM D226, ice barrier per ASTM D1970 at eaves in freeze-thaw climate zones. Manufacturer-certified installation locks in the full system warranty.

metal roofing
GUARANTEED

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing in Minnesota makes sense. It reflects heat, handles high winds, and sheds hail better than shingles. We install standing seam, corrugated, and metal shingle panels.

shingle roofing
INSURED

Shingle Roofing

Your shingle choice determines your warranty, your curb appeal, and how your roof handles Minnesota weather. We'll show you samples, explain the differences, and let you pick what fits your budget. No pressure.

flat roofing
FREE ESTIMATE

Flat Roofing

A flat roof that's ponding water is a flat roof with a problem. We install tapered insulation systems to create positive drainage to your scuppers or interior drains. No more standing water after rain.

commercial roofing
SAME-DAY

Commercial Roofing

Flat roofs on commercial buildings are a different animal. We install and repair TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up systems. Our Detroit Lakes commercial crew handles retail, warehouse, office, and multi-family buildings.

gutter installation
LICENSED

Gutter Installation

Clogged gutters cause fascia rot. We see it on every other house in Detroit Lakes. We install new gutters with proper pitch, adequate downspout capacity, and optional gutter guards if you're done cleaning them twice a year.

roof inspection
TOP RATED

Roof Inspection

Our 27-point roof inspection covers: shingle condition, granule loss, nail pops, lifting tabs, ridge cap integrity, valley flashing, step flashing at walls, drip edge, pipe boot seals, vent function, soffit ventilation, gutter pitch, downspout capacity, fascia condition, decking (from attic if accessible), and visible signs of moisture in the attic. Written report with photos emailed same day.

emergency roof repair
GUARANTEED

Emergency Roof Repair

Fallen tree limb damage requires structural assessment before repair. We check rafter integrity, decking condition, and whether the ceiling joists below were impacted. If structural members are cracked or displaced, you need a framing carpenter before we re-roof. We coordinate with trusted Detroit Lakes contractors for structural work. Insurance carriers require separate line items for structural vs. roofing repairs. We document both.

skylight installation
INSURED

Skylight Installation

Tubular skylights bring light into tight spaces. Closets, laundry rooms, interior bathrooms. They use a reflective tube through the attic space, so they work even when the roof is far from the ceiling. Installed in a few hours.

Simple Process

How It Works

1

Complimentary Assessment

We climb up, walk the entire roof, and document what we find with photos and measurements. Takes about 30 minutes. You'll see exactly what we see.

2

Detailed Quote

We price by the roofing square with all materials itemized. You'll see exactly what you're getting. Shingle brand, underlayment type, ventilation specs, flashing details.

3

Installation Day

Crew shows up on time with all materials pre-staged. Tarps go down, old roof comes off, new roof goes on. Most Detroit Lakes homes are done in a single day.

4

Your Approval

Before we leave: magnetic nail sweep across the entire yard, driveway, and walkways. Dump trailer hauled off. Gutters cleaned out. Your property looks better than when we arrived.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Here's the process: we inspect your roof for free, document any storm damage with photos, and help you file the claim. Your insurance company sends an adjuster. We meet them on-site and walk the roof together. If approved, we do the work at the agreed price. If the estimate seems low, we supplement it with additional documentation.

There's no single "best" shingle. It depends on what you need. For warranty coverage, GAF Timberline HDZ with Golden Pledge is the best in the industry. For wind resistance, Owens Corning Duration with SureNail locks down tight. For value, CertainTeed Landmark or IKO Cambridge give you solid performance at a lower price point. We carry all of them.

Manufacturer warranties range from 30 years to lifetime depending on the shingle line. Our workmanship warranty covers our labor and installation for the term stated in your contract. The best combo is the GAF Golden Pledge: 50-year material plus 25-year workmanship. That's what being a Master Elite contractor gets you.

Poor ventilation causes premature aging. If your attic runs hot in summer and your shingles are curling at 15 years, bad ventilation is probably why. Missing shingles cause water intrusion and accelerate everything. We do a free inspection and give you a straight answer: repair, plan for replacement in 2-3 years, or replace now.

Yes. One day is standard for most residential jobs. We start early, work efficiently, and finish before dark. If your roof is larger than 40 squares or has a complex layout, it might push to day two. Either way, we seal everything watertight before we leave each night.
