Elko New Market, Minnesota
Complete Brava Tile Roofing in Elko New Market, MN
The plats ringing the Boulder Pointe golf course went up fast, most of them after 2000, and their original asphalt is all aging out at once, which is why composite tile keeps coming up in Elko New Market, where a steep two story gable is the normal shape and nobody wants to pay for new framing just to get a slate look. Brava molds that look in polymer, light enough for trusses that were engineered around shingles.

The Roof Fork on a Post 2000 Elko New Market House
The city calls itself the fastest growing in Minnesota over the past decade, and on a roof that means something specific: most of the housing stock here shares a birthday. Steep pitches, tall gable ends and second story walls, framed after 2000 for asphalt shingles and nothing heavier. When that first layer starts curling, owners want the slate or cedar look and run straight into the weight problem. Slate and concrete add tonnage the trusses were never sized for, and cedar on open upland at 1,150 feet takes freeze and thaw into the grain, cupping and splitting early. Brava molds the slate shadow line or a sawn shake face in recycled polymer at a fraction of that load. If the masonry option still interests you, our page on clay tile roofing walks through where a real masonry product still earns its keep and where the framing math on newer Scott County houses stops it.
Brava Tile Roofing in Elko New Market
What Composite Tile Changes on These Upland Gables
Deep Shadow Line, No Engineer Letter
Brava tile lands in the same weight class the trusses over your Boulder Pointe two story were sized for, so the deep slate shadow line goes on without an engineer specifying new framing members.
Fastened for Open Upland Wind
At roughly 1,150 feet on open upland along Interstate 35, wind hits these gable ends square. Composite tile fastens course by course through the deck, and the rake edge is closed so the tall wall side stops failing first.
No More Splitting Cedar Courses
Cedar shake on this upland drinks meltwater, freezes, and splits by the tenth winter. Brava carries the sawn shake texture in a polymer that does not absorb, so March thaw cycles leave the courses alone.
An Elevation That Stands Out
Nearly every roof in these post 2000 plats is the same builder gray asphalt. A slate profile in a chosen color separates your elevation from the eight houses around it without changing the architecture.
The Last Layer This Deck Needs
Instead of lining up a third asphalt reroof over the life of the house, one tear off puts a composite layer on the deck that is built to sit through decades of Scott County freeze and thaw.
Color That Hail Cannot Scour
Color runs through the tile body rather than sitting in a granule coat, so a hail hit on the west facing slope does not leave a pale bruise the way a scoured asphalt shingle does.
How We Run a Brava Job in Scott County
Load Answers Are Plat Specific
We get into the attic on the first visit and look at truss spacing, span and any prior layer, because the answer on load is specific to your plat and your builder, not to composite tile in general.
Access Planned Around Second Story Walls
On these tall gable elevations the real constraint is staging, so we set lift lines, walk boards and ground protection over the sod and irrigation heads before the first pallet of tile comes off the truck.
Steep Pitch Details Cut on Site
Valleys, sidewalls and the ice barrier at the eave get cut and flashed for the pitch your roof actually runs, not to a stock detail that assumes a low slope ranch somewhere else in the metro.
Storm Damage Documented for Your Adjuster
Hail moves through this corner of Scott County most summers. We photograph the field, write the scope and meet your adjuster on the roof, and our phones are answered around the clock when a night storm opens something up.
One Eden Prairie Crew, Start to Finish
The same crew that tears off your asphalt sets the tile and closes the ridge, driving down from Eden Prairie each morning, so nobody hands your steep gable to an unfamiliar sub halfway through the week.

Brava Tile Questions from Elko New Market
What people in Elko New Market ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
Does a home near Boulder Pointe need framing work before Brava tile can go on?
Usually not. Brava composite weighs in near a heavy architectural asphalt shingle, and the trusses in these post 2000 plats were sized for shingles with margin. We still get into the attic and check spacing, span and whether a second layer is already up there, because a stick framed addition or a vaulted bonus room can change the answer.
Is the Elko New Market comparison asphalt or real slate?
Two things. On the newer plats it is the builder grade asphalt already on the house, where the question is whether one longer lasting layer beats two more shingle cycles. On the handful of older places it is real slate or cedar, where the question is weight and how the natural material handles thaw.
Does the wind exposure along Interstate 35 change how you install Brava tile here?
Yes. These plats sit roughly 400 feet above the valley floor at Jordan on open upland, so gusts come at the gable ends with nothing in front of them. We tighten the fastening pattern, run a closed rake detail and set the hip and ridge caps mechanically rather than relying on the field alone.
Compare a Brava Roof to Another Asphalt Cycle
Send the address and we will walk the plat, get into the attic, and put a written Brava figure next to a straight asphalt reroof so the comparison is real. Estimates are free, there is no obligation, and someone answers whether the call comes at noon or midnight.
