Dependable Luxury Roofing in Blaine, MN

Luxury roofing only earns its keep on a house with enough roof showing, and in Blaine that means the newer plats with hips, front gable stacks and a wide face on the street. The first wave of subdivisions is aging out while new ones go up across the road. Wind off the open sand plain sets the rest of the spec: caps, hip corners and the first courses at the eave.

A designer roof only pays on the right house

Start at the curb. On a plat house with one wide gable facing the street, a synthetic slate or a composite shake changes the whole elevation, and the money shows. On the plainer plans, where the roof is a simple hip and half of it faces the back yard, it does not, and we will say so. What drives the job here is the detailing. Open ground means wind gets under a cap that was stapled rather than nailed and works along a hip corner until the first course lifts. Heavier profiles are fastened differently, and the hip and ridge pieces are their own product, not shingles bent over the peak. We check the framing before we spec the weight, since these houses were built for three tab. If the look you are after is real wood, read up on our cedar shake roofing, which is a different material with different upkeep.

What a designer roof does on a Blaine plat house

  • Caps and hip corners built for wind

    Nothing crosses this sand plain to slow the wind down, so we hand nail the hip and ridge pieces, seal the first courses at the eave, and use the profile's own accessories instead of cut shingles.

  • Color that does not copy the block

    New plats run the same three or four elevations down the street. We hold sample boards against your stone and siding in daylight so the roof reads as yours without fighting the houses either side.

  • A straight answer on timing

    The first wave of Blaine plats is at the end of its roof life, and the next is not. If yours has seasons left, we will tell you that and put the upgrade on the calendar instead.

  • Weight checked against your framing

    Composite and steel profiles carry differently than the three tab these houses were framed for. We look at the trusses and the deck before choosing a product, not after the material is sitting in the driveway.

  • The permit pulled without the runaround

    Blaine sits in two counties, which confuses people looking up their own parcel. The roofing permit is the city's either way, and we handle it before the crew shows up.

  • Money spent where the house shows

    On many plat homes the street sees one or two planes and the rest faces a fence line. We will spec the designer profile across the whole roof or only where it earns its place, and quote both ways.

How we handle luxury roofs in Blaine

  • We will talk you out of it

    If your elevation does not carry a designer profile, we say so on the first visit. That answer costs you nothing and saves you a roof you would not enjoy looking at.

  • Every accessory listed in writing

    Starter, hip and ridge, valley metal, underlayment and vents all get named in the scope, so you are comparing the same roof when you compare quotes.

  • Measured plane by plane

    We measure each plane and pitch rather than working off the floor area, so the quote you get is the roof you have and it holds when the material is ordered.

  • Someone answers at any hour

    We are open 24 hours, seven days. If wind takes a cap off at midnight in February, you are not leaving a voicemail and waiting until Monday.

  • Free estimate, no obligation

    The visit, the measurements and the written quote cost nothing and come with no pressure to sign. If you want to think through a season, that is a fine answer.

Luxury roofing questions from Blaine

What people in Blaine ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.

Is a designer roof worth it on a 1990s Blaine subdivision house?

It depends on how much roof you actually see. A wide front gable with hips off it, the kind you find around Lakes of Blaine, carries a synthetic slate or composite shake well. A simple two plane roof with the long side facing the back yard does not, and a heavy laminate in a good color gets you most of the look.

Will my homeowners association approve a different roof profile?

Often yes, but the approval comes first. If your plat has an association, it may hold you to a list of accepted colors and materials, and some ask to see a sample. Send us the covenants and we will put the submittal together with the product sheet and the color before anything is ordered, so nothing arrives that has to go back.

Does Blaine being in two counties change anything for a roof job?

Not for the work. Your parcel sits in Anoka or Ramsey County depending on where in the city you are, which matters when you look up your own property records. The roofing permit is a City of Blaine permit either way, and we pull it and meet the inspector, so the county line never becomes your problem.
