Roseville, Minnesota
Experienced Asphalt Roofing in Roseville, MN
A rambler roof is one long, low, uninterrupted plane, and that shape drives almost everything about a reroof in Roseville, where the postwar lots are wide, the pitch is shallow, the overhangs are deep and there is hardly a dormer to break the run. What changed lately is sunlight. Ash borer removals thinned a seventy year old canopy, so roofs that sat in shade for decades now take full sun.

Shallow pitch changes the whole assembly
Anything under four in twelve is a different install, not just a flatter one. Wind drives rain up a shallow slope, so the underlayment gets doubled and the ice and water goes wider than a steep roof would need. Long planes are unforgiving about layout: a course that drifts an inch over thirty feet reads from the street, so we chalk and check rather than eyeball off the last roofer's lines. The deep overhangs are the good news, because a rambler usually has real soffit intake already, and pairing it with a continuous ridge finally gets the attic moving air. Then there are the porches and carports that drop below what asphalt is rated for. Those planes want membrane or standing seam, and owners comparing the two often read our page on metal roofing before deciding which one goes over the front step.
Asphalt Roofing in Roseville
Built for a long, low roof
Underlayment doubled on shallow slope
A four in twelve rambler plane takes wind driven rain differently than a steep roof does. We double the underlayment where the pitch calls for it, which is what keeps water from tracking up under a course.
Soffit intake actually opened up
Deep overhangs only help if air can get through them. Old insulation stuffed into the eave and painted shut panels block half the intake on these houses, and we clear that before adding ridge vent.
Porch and carport planes handled
Where the roof drops below what asphalt is rated for, shingles are the wrong material and we say so. Those planes get a membrane or a metal panel, tied into the shingle field properly.
Full sun on a shaded roof
Ash removals took the canopy off streets that had it for seventy years. South and west planes now age at the rate they were always meant to, so a roof that looked fine in shade can move quickly.
Gutters that still fill with limbs
The canopy thinned but it did not disappear. We reset the drip edge into the gutter and check the fall on the run, because a low slope roof handles a backed up eave worse than a steep one.
Courses that stay straight
On a plane that long, a drifting course line is visible from the curb for the life of the roof. We chalk the field and check the layout at both rakes as the run goes up.
Why Roseville owners call us
We do the low slope work too
This city puts retail roofs a block from 1950s houses. We work on both, so a shallow porch, a breezeway or a small commercial deck is not something we hand off to somebody else.
Both materials priced for a porch
When a plane sits below shingle pitch, you get the membrane option and the metal option side by side, so the comparison is a real one rather than whatever we would rather install.
We stage off a wide lot
Postwar lots here are wide enough that the container does not have to sit on your driveway. We place it where the tear off comes down cleanly and your car still gets out in the morning.
Ventilation quoted as its own line
If the intake needs clearing or the ridge needs a continuous run, it goes on the estimate as its own item before we start, not as a change order once the roof is open.
The low slope method named
If a plane needs the manufacturer's low slope install, the estimate says so and says what it includes. That is the difference between a proper install and one that only looks the same.

Asked by Roseville homeowners
What people in Roseville ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
How low a pitch can asphalt shingles go on a Roseville rambler?
Down to two in twelve if the manufacturer's low slope method is followed, which means doubled underlayment and full membrane at the eaves and valleys. Below that, shingles are not rated and no installer should be putting them there. Porch roofs and carports often sit at one in twelve, and those get membrane or metal instead.
My ash trees came down. Is the roof aging faster now?
Somewhat. Sun and heat age asphalt, and a plane that spent fifty years in shade is now taking full afternoon exposure. That is not a reason to replace it early. It is a reason to get the ventilation right, because a hot deck with no way to exhaust is what cooks shingles from underneath.
Do you do the low slope roof on my building near Har Mar?
Yes. We handle commercial low slope as well as shingles, which is useful in Roseville because retail sits a block from housing here. Same company, same phone number, a different assembly on top. If you own a home and a small building in town, both can be looked at on one visit.
