Minneapolis Residential Roof Installation — Residential & Commercial

Residential Roof Installation in Minneapolis, MN

Minneapolis Premium Roofing provides professional residential roof installation in Minneapolis, MN for residential and commercial properties across the Twin Cities. New construction, not replacement. A house being framed, an addition or dormer, a garage or accessory dwelling, or a roof going back to bare deck because the sheathing is being replaced. Hail, tear-off and disposal are the subject of our roof replacement page.

Minnesota ties an inspection you cannot skip to a roof you have not built yet. The state rule on required inspections says framing is inspected after the roof, the framing, the firestopping, the draftstopping and the bracing are in place, and after the rough plumbing, mechanical and electrical work has been approved. Until the roof deck is on, that inspection cannot be called at all.

So on a new build the roof is not the last trade, it is the gate the others wait behind. Insulation, drywall and finish all sit on the far side of a framing approval that depends on our work. We schedule against the framer's date and the rough trades' dates, and we say plainly when a slipped week means the whole sequence moves rather than pretending it absorbs.

The load figures come from a state map rather than a county table. Hennepin County sits below the line at a 50 pound ground snow load, and the residential method takes seven tenths of that, so 35 pounds is the roof figure your trusses are designed against. North of the line the ground figure is 60, which is why a builder's standard package from up there is not automatically right here.

The ice barrier runs from the lowest roof edges to a point at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line, with 36 inches from the exterior wall on roofs of 8/12 or steeper. Valleys and the sidewalls of dormers get membrane too, while the deck is open and the crew is already on it.

Venting has to be designed at the same time. Intake at the eave, baffles that keep insulation out of the air path, and exhaust high enough to actually move air are what keep a new roof cold through a Minneapolis January. Correcting that after the ceilings are closed costs several times what it costs now.

Our residential building contractor license is defined by statute as buildings for one to four families, so a larger building needs a different credential and sometimes a city commercial license on top. We will tell you which class your building falls in before quoting. If your general contractor already carries a roofer who holds the framing date, keep him.

Our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — thermally activated factory sealant strips, ASTM D4586 hand-sealing dabs, sixteenth-inch butt-joint gapping, six fasteners per shingle at the nailing line, SBS-modified sealant chemistry, steel-ball-tested Class 4 laminates — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Minneapolis and nearby communities including St. Louis Park, Richfield, Edina, Golden Valley.

Materials, equipment and how we do residential roof installation

The difference between residential roof installation that lasts and residential roof installation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with thermally activated factory sealant strips, ASTM D4586 hand-sealing dabs, sixteenth-inch butt-joint gapping, six fasteners per shingle at the nailing line, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.

Every Minneapolis job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Twin Cities means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Minneapolis Chooses Minneapolis Premium Roofing

  • ✓Every quote names a start date and states what the scope becomes if that date falls outside the sealing window.
  • ✓Late-season installs include perimeter hand sealing with ASTM D4586 cement and a spring visit to verify the field bonded, at no extra charge.
  • ✓We record the ambient temperature at installation and log which courses were hand sealed, so a February wind event is a one-conversation matter.
  • ✓Six nails per shingle as standard rather than four, sixteenth-inch butt-joint gaps, and no staples on any job.

Questions We Get on Residential Roof Installation

What am I likely to pay for residential roof installation here?

It comes down to square footage, access, the condition of what is already there, and the materials you choose — thermally activated factory sealant strips, ASTM D4586 hand-sealing dabs, sixteenth-inch butt-joint gapping. We do not price a job off a phone call and a guess. We measure on site and hand you an itemized free estimate with the scope written out, so you can compare it line by line against anyone else's number.

How long will my property be a worksite?

Most residential residential roof installation work in Minneapolis runs from a single day to about a week once materials are on site. Larger commercial jobs get phased so the property keeps operating. Weather, permit review and material lead times are the usual reasons a date moves, and you hear about those from us before the crew starts, not after.

Who files the permit on a Minneapolis job?

Yes, on any work that needs one. We file with the Minneapolis building department, schedule the inspection and stay on site for it. Skipping a permit is how property owners end up paying twice — once for the work, and again when it fails at resale or an insurance claim.

Is Minneapolis Premium Roofing licensed and insured?

Licensed Minnesota residential building contractor with the Department of Labor and Industry.

That class is defined by statute as buildings for one to four families, so it does not by itself reach a warehouse, a retail strip or an apartment block - and two cities in this service area say so in their own guidance and require a CITY commercial contractor license before they will issue a permit for that work.

We hold what the building class requires and will tell you which one your building falls in before we quote it.. General liability and workers' compensation carried on every crew, above the state floor of $300,000 per occurrence including at least $10,000 of property damage.

Two cities here set their own conditions on top: one requires $100,000 per person, $300,000 per accident and $5,000 property damage for its city license, and another adds a $3,000 bond. Ask for the certificate and the limits rather than the word insured.. Midwest Roofing Contractors Association member. Every residential roof installation job carries a written workmanship warranty.

Ask any contractor for those four things in writing before you sign — the ones who hesitate are telling you something.

Do you take commercial roofing work as well as residential?

Both. Minneapolis Premium Roofing runs residential residential roof installation across Minneapolis neighborhoods and commercial work for offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA properties throughout the Twin Cities. Commercial jobs get phased scheduling and off-hours crews so tenants and customers are not shut out while the work happens.
