Elko New Market, Minnesota
Licensed Asphalt Roofing in Elko New Market, MN
Tall gable ends and second story walls set the pace on the upland plats in Elko New Market, where roofs sit near 1,150 feet with nothing along Interstate 35 to slow a gust before it arrives. Almost all of this housing went up after 2000, so layer counts are rarely the question. Getting a crew and a few tons of shingle safely onto a steep roof is.

Access and exposure drive this job
A tear-off here is clean. One layer, sound OSB, a deck that has never been wet. What takes the time is getting a crew and a few tons of shingles safely onto a steep roof that starts at the second floor. Roof jacks, anchors and staging go up first, and the cut waste at all those hips and valleys is real, so the material order is not the square footage of the house. The wind spec matters more here than almost anywhere in Scott County: the high wind laminated shingle, six nails, and starter sealed along the rakes and the tall gable ends. Where a homeowner wants to stop thinking about the roof altogether, metal roofing on the steepest elevation is a conversation worth having.
Asphalt Roofing in Elko New Market
What a roof at 1,150 feet has to do
Wind rating chosen for open ground
Out on the upland there is no tree line and no valley wall to break a gust. We specify the high wind laminated shingle, and it only earns that rating if it is nailed and sealed to spec.
Steep pitch changes how we work
Above a certain slope nobody simply walks the roof. Jacks, planks and anchors go up before the first shingle comes off, which is the honest reason a tall gabled house takes longer than a rambler.
First roofs come off clean
Post 2000 construction means one layer over OSB that has usually stayed dry. Fewer surprises under the shingles, and the deck repairs that stack up on an older house are rarely part of this one.
Material counted off the roof
Hips, valleys and steep rakes generate cut waste, and starter and cap run long on a house shaped like these. We count it off the actual roof so the last bundle is not a phone call.
Second story walls flashed properly
Where an upper roof dies into a two story wall, doing it right means pulling the siding back, setting step flashing and putting the wall back together. Caulk at that joint is a two year fix at best.
Gutters that can take the throw
Water leaves a steep slope fast and can overshoot a standard gutter at the eave. Sizing the gutter and moving a downspout is part of finishing the roof, not a separate trade problem.
How we work on the tall roofs here
Fall protection brought, not improvised
Anchors, harnesses and staged planking come with the truck. On a roof this steep, a crew that is not thinking about falling does neater work at the ridges and the rakes.
No two houses on one plan match
The plats around Boulder Pointe repeat floor plans, but the roofs do not repeat their history. We quote the house in front of us, including whatever the last hail season left behind.
New landscaping comes out unhurt
Young sod, new plantings and a clean driveway are the norm out here. Plywood goes down, the dumpster sits on boards, and the magnet goes over the drive and the lawn before we leave.
Siding and windows in the same visit
We do siding and window work as well, so when a roof edge or a second story wall opens up and something behind it is wrong, it gets fixed by the people already standing there.
We would rather move a day
Stripping a steep roof on open upland in a stiff wind is how shingles end up in a neighbor's yard. If the forecast is wrong for it, we reschedule and tell you why.

Questions from Elko New Market homeowners
What people in Elko New Market ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
Why does a roof around Boulder Pointe take longer to replace?
Pitch and height. On a steep two story with tall gable ends, most of the first morning goes into staging and fall protection, nobody carries bundles up a ladder freehand, and every course gets set from a plank rather than walked. The roof is not bigger than a rambler's. The way it has to be worked is slower.
What wind rating should a new roof in Elko New Market have?
Go with the high wind rated laminated shingle rather than a standard one. Sitting near 1,150 feet on open upland along Interstate 35, roughly four hundred feet above the valley floor at Jordan, these roofs get hit square on the gable ends. That rating only holds if the shingle gets six nails and the starter is sealed along the rakes.
My Elko New Market home was built in 2006. Will the decking need replacing?
Usually not. OSB that stayed dry under a roof that never leaked comes through a tear-off fine, and we only replace what is soft or delaminated, which we show you before it gets covered. What is worth checking on a house that age is the attic intake, since blown insulation often ended up sitting over the soffit.

We will bring the ladders that reach it, get on the roof rather than pricing it off a satellite image, and leave you a written scope with the wind spec written into it.
