Savage, Minnesota
Insured Luxury Roofing in Savage, MN
The two story homes above the river valley in Savage were built in the 1990s and early 2000s with cut up rooflines, upper gables shedding straight onto lower planes and into short valleys. That is the shape a designer profile has to work with here, and it is where a heavy shingle either looks right or looks crowded.

Cut up rooflines are the whole job here
Count the valleys before you count the squares. On a typical Savage two story, an upper gable dumps onto a lower plane and runs into a short valley that never gets a chance to dry out. Put a thick designer shingle into that seam without opening the valley up, and you have built a dam. We run metal in the valleys, hold the cut back, and flash the gable ends into the wall properly rather than caulking over them. On the plats above Highway 13, up on the hundred foot bluff, a west wind comes straight down the river corridor, so the starter course, the rakes and the ridge cap all get fastened for uplift. The cost sits in that detail work, not in the field of the roof. If a full designer profile is more than the house needs, cedar shake roofing on the gable ends alone can carry the look.

What this buys you on a Savage roof
Valleys built to actually drain
Short valleys between an upper gable and a lower plane are where these roofs fail. We line them with metal and keep the shingle cut back so water and grit keep moving through.
Gable to wall flashing done right
Where an upper gable meets a second story wall, step flashing and a kick out have to be woven in behind the siding. Skipped there, the water shows up inside months later.
Fastened for bluff top wind
Plats on the bluff above Highway 13 catch a west wind straight off the valley corridor. Starter, rakes and ridge cap get the fastening pattern that exposure calls for.
Chimney chases rebuilt, not resealed
Nineties two story homes here often have a framed chimney chase with siding on it. The cap and the counterflashing get redone with the roof instead of being smeared over and left.
Cleanup that respects the fen
Lots at the north edge drop steeply toward the Savage Fen. Tear off debris and nails get contained on the uphill side rather than left to wash down the slope.
Gutters sized for stacked planes
When two roof planes stack, the upper one dumps its water onto a short run of the lower gutter. We look at what the roof is feeding before we call the gutter work finished.
How we approach a Savage two story
We count the tie ins first
Before there is a number, someone gets on the roof and measures every valley, gable end and wall intersection. That is what the quote is actually built from.
Nothing gets caulked shut
If a detail needs metal, it gets metal. We would rather tell you a flashing has to come out than seal over it and let you find the leak next spring.
We schedule around the wind
A west wind up the valley corridor is not the day to have a roof open or to be setting heavy panels. We move the work rather than fight it.
Straight talk on storm claims
We do storm and insurance work, and we will tell you when the damage supports a claim and when it does not. The estimate is free either way.
Reachable when it matters
We are family run, faith based, and open 24 hours, seven days, so a storm at midnight does not have to wait until Monday. Rated 5.0 from 217 Google reviews.

Asked on Savage roofs
What people in Savage ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
Can a designer shingle work on a cut up Savage roofline?
Yes, and it often looks better there than on a plain roof, because the shadow lines follow the gables. The limit is the valleys. Where an upper gable sheds onto a lower plane, the valley has to be opened up and lined with metal so the thicker shingle does not choke it. That detail is where the work is.
Do homes on the bluff above Highway 13 need a different roof spec?
Usually a tighter one. Those plats sit on the hundred foot bluff where a west wind runs the valley corridor, and gusts hit them that inland streets never feel. Same shingle, different fastening: more nails per shingle, sealed starter at the eaves and rakes, and ridge cap set with that wind in mind.
We back onto the Savage Fen. Does that change how you work?
It changes the site work, not the roof. Lots at the north edge of town drop steeply toward the fen, so tear off goes into a contained area uphill, magnets run the slope at the end of each day, and nothing gets stacked where it can slide. The roof spec is driven by the house, not by the wetland below it.
