Metal & stone-coated steel
The last roof your home will ever need
We install standing seam, AG panel, and DECRA stone-coated steel: high-grade metal roofing engineered for Midwest hail and wind, from sleek standing-seam panels to stone-coated steel that mimics shingles or tile.
For homeowners who never want to think about their roof again, metal is the answer. We install standing seam and AG panel systems as well as stone-coated steel like DECRA, which delivers a 50-plus year lifespan, class-leading impact and wind resistance, and a refined look that can mimic architectural shingles, wood shake, or clay tile.
Metal also works with Minnesota's climate instead of against it. It sheds snow rather than holding it, reflects summer heat to lower energy costs, and resists the hail that shortens the life of ordinary shingles. Class 4 impact-rated metal may also qualify you for an insurance premium discount. It is a bigger investment up front, and for the right home it pays back in decades of protection.

Asphalt or metal?
How to decide
Asphalt shingles are the right, budget-friendly choice for most homes and most insurance-paid work. Metal is the right choice when you plan to stay in the home long term, want the strongest possible protection, or want to stop replacing your roof every couple of decades.
On your free inspection we will walk you through both, with honest pricing and no pressure either way.

Questions about the last roof your home will ever need
If you plan to stay in your home long term, often yes. The longer lifespan, lower energy costs, and superior hail and wind resistance can outweigh the higher upfront price over the decades a metal roof lasts.
No. Modern stone-coated steel installed over proper decking and underlayment is no louder than an asphalt roof. The stone coating and the roof structure dampen sound.
Class 4 impact-rated systems may qualify for a homeowner premium discount with some carriers. Discounts vary, so confirm with your insurance company. We are happy to provide the product documentation they need.
Stone-coated steel comes in profiles that mimic architectural shingles, wood shake, and tile, so it suits a wide range of home styles. We can show you options on your inspection.
