Our Approach
The Right Metal System for Your Home
Not all metal roofs are the same. The material, profile, and installation method all affect performance, appearance, and long-term cost. We walk you through the options and recommend what actually fits your home — not a default.
If metal isn't the right call for your home, we'll tell you that too. Our evaluation is about giving you the right answer, not the answer that creates the biggest project.
Systems We Install
Types of Metal Roofs We Install
Standing Seam Steel
The most popular metal system in Minnesota. 24-gauge Galvalume steel with Kynar 500/PVDF finish — panels interlock with hidden fasteners, eliminating the most common failure points.
Metal Shingles
Steel or aluminum shingles designed to mimic asphalt, cedar shake, or slate. Metal performance without a dramatic visual change.
Corrugated & Exposed Fastener
A cost-effective option for garages, sheds, cabins, and modern or rural homes where the exposed-fastener look is intentional.
Aluminum Roofing
Lighter than steel and naturally corrosion-resistant. A strong choice for lake homes and properties with higher moisture exposure.

What Does a Metal Roof Cost in the Twin Cities?

For a typical 2,000 sq ft home, a standing seam steel roof runs $18,000–$28,000+ installed. The only way to get an accurate number is a full inspection and an itemized estimate. We provide that at no cost and with no pressure.
Minnesota Performance
Why Metal Performs Here
Minnesota weather is hard on roofs. Heavy snow, ice dams, summer hail, and wide temperature swings create failure conditions standard asphalt isn't always built to handle.
Snow and Ice
Metal's smooth surface sheds snow rather than holding it — reducing roof loads and limiting the conditions that create ice dams.
Hail Resistance
24-gauge steel with a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating is among the most hail-resistant residential materials available. Many Minnesota carriers offer premium discounts.
Wind Performance
Mechanically seamed standing seam panels are rated to 120–180 mph — well beyond what any shingle system can match.
Temperature Cycling
Properly installed standing seam with floating clip attachments accommodates expansion and contraction without compromising the seal.
