Metal roofing costs more up front than asphalt, but for homeowners planning to stay put for decades, it's often the material that makes the most sense against Minnesota weather.
Metal roofing has become a popular choice around Lake Minnetonka for homeowners who want a roof that outlasts multiple asphalt replacement cycles. We install standing seam and panel metal systems, matched to your roof's pitch and your aesthetic preference.
One of metal's real advantages in Minnesota is how it handles snow and ice. Snow sheds off a metal roof faster than it does off asphalt, which reduces the weight load and limits the conditions that cause ice dams to form at the eaves.
Metal also performs well against hail compared to standard asphalt shingles, though it can dent depending on the gauge and panel type. We'll talk through the specific product options and what kind of impact resistance each one offers so you know what you're buying.
Installation detail matters more with metal than with asphalt. Panel alignment, fastener spacing, and flashing at valleys and penetrations all have to be done precisely, since a sloppy install shows visually and can lead to leaks at the seams. We take the extra time this material requires.
If you're replacing an aging asphalt roof and considering metal, we'll walk through the cost difference, expected lifespan, and how the switch affects your home's look, especially on steeper rooflines where metal reads very differently than shingles.
Metal roof installations are backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee, and we'll go over the manufacturer's finish and panel warranty with you before you decide.

See every city we serveIt depends on how long you plan to stay in the home. Metal costs more upfront but generally lasts far longer than asphalt and requires less frequent replacement. If you're planning to stay for decades, the math often favors metal. We'll run the comparison for your specific situation.
With proper decking and underlayment beneath the panels, metal roofs aren't noticeably louder than asphalt from inside the home. The noise difference people associate with metal roofs usually comes from older barn-style installs without solid decking underneath.
In some cases a metal system can go over an existing roof, but we generally recommend inspecting the decking first since problems underneath won't go away by covering them up. We'll tell you honestly which approach makes sense for your roof.
Metal sheds snow faster than asphalt, which can reduce ice dam conditions at the eaves, but ventilation and insulation in the attic still play the biggest role. We look at the whole system, not just the roofing material.
We install standing seam and panel systems in a range of colors and profiles. We'll go through the options that fit your home's roofline and your budget during the estimate.
