Metal Roofing
in Minneapolis

Metal roofing involves installing interlocking metal panels or shingles across your entire roof structure, replacing old asphalt shingles or damaged underlayment. The Minneapolis roofing contractor measures your roof, removes existing materials down to the deck, inspects for rot or structural issues, installs new underlayment and ice-and-water shield, then secures metal panels with concealed fasteners and sealant. The process takes 3-5 days for a typical home. Metal roofing costs $12,000-$25,000 installed on a 2,000-square-foot home, depending on panel type, pitch, and labor. Standing-seam metal (vertical ribs) runs $15-$25 per square foot; metal shingles run $12-$20 per square foot. The system requires no maintenance beyond occasional gutter cleaning. Snow slides off faster in winter, reducing ice dam risk—a real problem in Northeast and Longfellow neighborhoods where freeze-thaw cycles crack asphalt shingles. Metal roofing also resists hail damage that destroys traditional shingles in late-spring storms. You'll want metal roofing if your current roof leaks, if you live in a high-wind or hail zone, or if you plan to stay in your home 20+ years and want to recoup the investment. Metal roofing is not the right choice if your budget is under $8,000, if your roof deck is severely rotted (requiring structural repair first), or if you prefer the look of traditional asphalt. A licensed roofer will inspect your roof in person, identify any deck damage, and quote the total cost including permit fees (typically $150-$300 in Minneapolis). The job involves noise, debris, and temporary disruption; we schedule work during dry weather and coordinate with your schedule.
