Brooklyn Park, Minnesota
Certified Brava Tile Roofing in Brooklyn Park, MN
Wind is what decides roofs on the open north metro edge of Brooklyn Park, where lots sit with almost no mature canopy to slow a straight-line gust. The builder asphalt that went on these 1970s and 1980s houses gives up its tabs first, usually along the same windward rake every time. Composite tile sets flat and interlocked, so there is far less edge for wind to get under.

Wind exposure and rental turnover drive this job
Most of what we replace along the Zane Avenue corridor and out toward Edinburgh is second-generation asphalt on a roof that was framed simply: a couple of big planes, a garage return, not much cut-up detail. That makes the tile install straightforward and puts the money into edges. Rake and eave starter, ridge attachment and the windward hip are where an open-exposure roof either holds or peels, so those details get built out rather than run standard. On investor-owned houses we schedule around tenants, which usually means one clear notice, one contained staging area and no material left in a shared driveway overnight. Owners deciding between a roof they will keep and a roof they will sell in five years should hear both cases, and if you are pricing the heavier options we also do clay tile roofing on the few houses out here that are framed for it.
Brava Tile Roofing in Brooklyn Park
What tile changes on an exposed north metro roof
Built for straight-line wind
Open lots north of 610 take gusts with nothing in front of them. Tile is mechanically fastened course by course, and the rake and ridge get the attention, because that is where an exposed roof lets go.
No tabs to lift and lose
A shingle roof fails one tab at a time, and you find them in the yard after every storm. Composite tile has no free edge sitting on top of the course below waiting to catch air.
Off the builder-grade cycle
A 1980s split out here has already been through two asphalt roofs. Composite tile is what owners choose when they plan to keep the house and want to stop repeating that cycle.
Works around tenants and turnover
Plenty of houses here are rented. We set a start date that fits a lease or a turnover window, keep the staging in one spot, and leave the drive clear at the end of each day.
Ventilation corrected with the roof
Seventies and eighties houses out here were vented light. When the roof comes off we correct intake and ridge exhaust, because a tile roof over a hot deck ages the sheathing under it.
Old skylights and vent boots replaced
Those houses came with plastic dome skylights and thin vent boots that are brittle by now. They get replaced and flashed into the tile field rather than reused with a bead of sealant.
How we work on rental and owner-occupied roofs
One point of contact for landlords
If you own the house and someone else lives in it, you get the updates and they get the notice. We do not put a tenant in the middle of a roofing decision.
We walk the windward side with you
Before quoting we look at the rake and ridge that face the open ground. That side tells us how the last roof failed and how the new one has to be fastened.
Scheduling that fits a vacancy
A roof goes on fastest when nobody is in the house. If a unit is between tenants, tell us the window and we will build the schedule around it. We answer any hour, every day.
Straight talk about resale
If you are selling within a couple of years, composite tile is usually not where your money goes. We will quote it, and we will also tell you that.
A dated schedule, and we hold it
Big simple planes go fast. We give you the days we need before we start, and we do not open a roof we cannot close the same day, which matters with people living in it.

Brooklyn Park roofing questions we get
What people in Brooklyn Park ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
Will composite tile hold up to the wind we get in Brooklyn Park?
That is the main reason people out here look at it. Tile is fastened through each piece and locks to its neighbors, so there is no loose tab edge for a gust to peel. Wind still finds bad edge work, though, so the rake starter, ridge and hip details are where we spend the extra time.
Is composite tile worth it on a rental property?
Usually not, if you are holding it short term or planning to sell. Asphalt does the job for that. Where it does make sense is a long-hold rental on an exposed lot north of 610, where wind repairs and repeat replacements have become a recurring line in your maintenance.
Can you re-roof a Brooklyn Park house with tenants living in it?
Yes, and we do it regularly around Edinburgh and the Zane Avenue corridor. Tenants get a start date and a clear note about noise, parking and the dumpster. We keep staging in one place, run the magnet daily and leave the driveway usable overnight. If a turnover window is coming, that is still the easier way to do it.
