Zimmerman, Minnesota
Local EPDM Roofing in Zimmerman, MN
Almost everything standing in Zimmerman went up after 2000, and that goes for the commercial buildings along the highway as much as the houses. So the EPDM here is not usually worn out. It is closer to the middle of its life, which makes this a repair and maintenance conversation more often than a replacement one.

Most of these roofs are worth saving
The commercial buildings in town are small and there are not many of them. The Sand Dunes State Forest sits about three miles west and the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge is close by, so most of the land around Zimmerman will never be platted. That means we are usually on a strip building, a shop or a city building, not a warehouse roof. On a roof this young, leaks come from three places: field seams where the tape was rolled cold, pitch pockets around old conduit, and the edge metal. The EF-1 tornado that touched down here on March 6, 2017 and ran almost nine miles to Princeton is the kind of wind that lifts an edge and starts a peel. If the field is sound and you want more years out of it, ask about roof coatings before you look at a full membrane replacement.
EPDM Roofing in Zimmerman
What keeps a young Zimmerman roof going
Field seams stripped and re-taped
Tape rolled in cold weather never fully bonds, and that shows up years later as a lap that lifts. We strip the bad sections back to clean membrane and seam them again properly.
Edge metal locked down for wind
The EF-1 that ran from here to Princeton in March 2017 is the kind of wind that catches a loose edge. Fastener spacing and a proper drip edge decide whether a roof peels.
Pitch pockets around old conduit
Every rooftop has penetrations nobody thinks about: conduit, gas line supports, an abandoned vent. The sealant in those pockets dries out and cracks. Filling them is small work that stops real leaks.
Small roofs done properly
There is no industrial park here, and most of what we roof in town is a strip building, a shop or a city building. Small work still gets the same details as a big roof.
Metal building roofs handled too
A lot of the buildings out on the acreage around town are metal, with a low slope addition on one end. We do the membrane and the transition into the panel.
One walk a year, written up
A young membrane stays young if somebody catches the small things. A yearly walk with photos of the seams, the drains and the penetrations keeps a repair from turning into a replacement.
Why small Zimmerman jobs get done right
Small jobs are still worth doing
A single leak over a back room is a real problem to the person sitting under it. We take the short calls, not just the roofs with a big square footage number.
Storm calls answered at any hour
We are open twenty four hours, seven days. When wind lifts an edge on a Saturday night, somebody picks up and we get a tarp and a bar on it.
We handle the metal side too
Metal buildings are normal work for us, so if the leak turns out to be a wall panel or a ridge cap and not the membrane, the same people fix it.
Free estimate, no push after
The estimate is free and there is nothing attached to it. If you decide to wait a year, we would rather you wait holding a written list of what is failing.
We show up when we said
Small jobs are the ones that get bumped for bigger ones. If we tell you Tuesday, we are there Tuesday, and if weather moves us, you hear it from us that morning.

Common questions in Zimmerman
What people in Zimmerman ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
My Zimmerman building is only fifteen years old, so why is it leaking?
Age is usually not the issue on a roof that new. It is a detail. Field seams taped in cold weather never bonded fully and are lifting, a pitch pocket around conduit dried out and cracked, or the edge metal moved in a wind event. All three are repairs, not a new roof.
Do you take small commercial roofs in Zimmerman?
Yes. There is no industrial park here and we know it. Most of the work in town is a strip building, a shop, a church roof or a city building, and a lot of it is a few squares of repair rather than a project. Those calls are worth our time and we schedule them like anything else.
Can wind damage a rubber roof without tearing anything off?
Easily. Uplift gets under an edge or a corner, stretches the membrane and breaks the bond back a few feet without ever pulling material free. You see nothing from the ground. The next rain finds the gap. After a storm the right move is to walk the perimeter and the corners, not just look for missing pieces.
