International Falls, MN Roof Repair & Replacement

We handle the whole replacement from permits to final inspection. Our International Falls office pulls the permit, coordinates the dumpster, runs the crew, and schedules the building inspector. You sign the contract and we handle the rest.

Step flashing at chimney walls is the number one leak source we see in International Falls. Improper step flashing causes roof leaks. It's that simple. We install new step flashing with a chimney cricket for proper water diversion, sealed with Geocel tripolymer sealant. Fix it once, fix it right.

After a storm in International Falls, half the roofers in town show up knocking on doors. Most of them aren't from here. We are. We've been handling storm claims in International Falls for 13 years. We know the adjusters, we know the process.

New roof installation on new construction means getting the ventilation right from the start. We calculate intake and exhaust requirements based on attic square footage and install the right combination of soffit vents and ridge vent. Saves you money on cooling bills in Minnesota.

Corrugated metal and R-panel are cost-effective options for barns, detached shops, and covered patios in International Falls. We install 29-gauge and 26-gauge corrugated with exposed fasteners using neoprene washer screws. For homes, we recommend 24-gauge standing seam with concealed fasteners. Cleaner look, no exposed fastener maintenance. DaVinci composite shake and slate profiles give you the metal longevity with a traditional Minnesota aesthetic.

Three-tab shingles are cheaper upfront but they don't hold up like architectural. We recommend them for sheds, detached garages, and rental properties where budget matters more than aesthetics. For your International Falls home? Go architectural.

Modified bitumen is our go-to for residential flat roofs in International Falls. Two-ply torch-applied system with a granulated cap sheet. It handles foot traffic, thermal cycling, and Minnesota UV better than single-ply at the residential scale.

TPO is our most-requested commercial membrane in Minnesota. Reflective, energy-efficient, and it welds together at the seams for a watertight bond. We install 60-mil and 80-mil systems with 15-20 year manufacturer warranties.

Improperly sized gutters cause fascia board rot and foundation erosion. We calculate gutter capacity using the rainfall intensity formula: roof square footage x pitch factor x rainfall rate (inches/hr for International Falls). Standard 5" K-style handles 5,520 sq ft of effective roof area. Bigger roofs or steeper pitches need 6" gutters with 3x4" downspouts. We hang with hidden hangers screwed into rafter tails every 24".

Our International Falls roof inspections cover shingles, flashing, pipe boots, ridge vent, soffit, gutters, and decking condition. You get a written report with photos. If nothing's wrong, we tell you that.

After we tarp and secure your roof, we document everything for insurance purposes. Photos, measurements, damage descriptions. Your adjuster gets a professional report, not a handwritten note.

We install, replace, and repair skylights in International Falls homes. Fogged glass, cracked frames, persistent leaks around old skylights. We fix it all. Sometimes replacing a 20-year-old skylight is cheaper than trying to repair it.
