Skilled Luxury Roofing in Coon Rapids, MN

Plenty of these roofs came off in a single summer. After the June 11, 2017 hail, monthly permits in Coon Rapids ran from under a thousand to nearly 2,500 by August, and most of what went back on was ordinary asphalt. If you are now thinking about a roof you actually chose, the question is which houses here carry a designer profile and which ones are better served by a good laminate.

Hail decided when most of these roofs went on

On a rambler with a shallow pitch and one long plane facing the street, a heavy shake profile looks like a costume, and some of them sit below the minimum pitch the material is rated for. The two stories that went up through the 1980s and 1990s are a different house: more faces, steeper planes, a front gable you see from the corner. Tear-off tells us the rest. August 2017 was a rush, and it is not unusual to find short nails, patched sheathing and no ice and water where the valley meets the wall. That deck has to be right before a heavier profile goes on, because the fasteners are what hold the whole thing in a straight line wind. For a warmer look on a wooded lot, there is also cedar shake roofing to consider, though it asks for upkeep a composite does not.

What matters on a Coon Rapids roof upgrade

  • An honest read on your house

    Ramblers and shallow split levels often do not carry a shake or slate profile, and we will say so rather than sell it. The two stories from the city's biggest growth decade usually do.

  • What the 2017 rush left behind

    The month after that storm, this city was writing permits by the thousand. Work went on fast. We strip to the deck and show you the short nails, patched sheathing and missing membrane before we cover any of it.

  • Rated for hail, because it returns

    Hail piled up two feet deep at intersections here once already, and the city ran a plow to clear it. Composite slate and shake and stone coated steel take a strike that knocks the granules off an ordinary laminate.

  • Pitch changes handled properly

    Split levels step down to a low slope over the entry or the garage. A designer profile stops where its rated pitch stops, and the transition below it gets metal, not more shingles.

  • The claim and the upgrade, separated

    Storm work pays to put back what was there. If you want a designer profile instead, we write the claim scope and the upgrade scope as two documents so you can see exactly what you are choosing.

  • Built to outlast the 2017 replacement

    The roofs that went on during that repair wave are already showing their age. Heavier mats, better fastening and accessories made for the profile are what keep you off the roof for the long haul.

Why Coon Rapids homeowners call us for this

  • We meet the adjuster on the roof

    We do storm and insurance work, and we would rather be up there with your adjuster than argue about photos afterward. Damage gets looked at together, from the same ladder.

  • Five stars across 217 reviews

    Our Google rating is 5.0 from 217 reviews. Read a few of them before you let anyone open your roof, ours included.

  • The middle option gets shown too

    Sometimes a heavy architectural laminate in the right color is the smart call, and on a rambler near Crooked Lake we will say so. You get both options side by side and you pick.

  • Photographs at every stage

    Deck, underlayment, valleys, flashing and the finished planes all get photographed. If a claim comes later, the record of what is under your roof already exists.

  • Material ordered once, correctly

    Designer profiles are ordered, not picked off a shelf, so the counts and the color have to be right the first time. We measure and confirm the order with you before it is placed.

Common questions from Coon Rapids

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

My roof was replaced after the 2017 hail. Is it too soon to upgrade?

Depends what went on then. A lot of those replacements were fast, ordinary asphalt, and some are already curling or losing granules. If yours is sound, keep it and put money into it later. If it is failing early, that is the moment to change material rather than repeat the same roof.

Will insurance cover a luxury roof in Coon Rapids?

A hail claim pays to replace what the storm damaged, in kind. Going from asphalt to a composite slate or stone coated steel is an upgrade, and the difference sits with the homeowner. We write both scopes so you can see the claim on one page and the upgrade on the other, then decide once your adjuster has signed off.

What luxury profile suits a 1970s Coon Rapids split level?

Usually a low profile one. A tall shake looks heavy on a split level, and the low slope section over the entry will not take it at all. Stone coated steel in a slate pattern, or a synthetic slate, sits flatter and reads right on that roofline. The transition down to the low slope goes in metal either way.
