Minneapolis Premium Roofing provides professional tile roofing in Minneapolis, MN for residential and commercial properties across the Twin Cities. We install tile, and on most Minneapolis houses we will argue against it. This is the page where we recommend a product less rather than more, and the reasoning has nothing to do with whether we can source the material.
Weight comes first. Concrete tile imposes a dead load several times what a laminate does, and most housing stock in this metro was framed for asphalt plus a Minnesota snow load, not for asphalt, snow and a masonry roof stacked above both. Converting means an engineer, usually sistered rafters or a purlin system, and a figure that ends the conversation before a single tile is set.
Then the calendar, which cuts differently here than it does for shingles. Tile has no seal strip and no bonding period, so in that narrow sense it is season-proof. But mortar bedding at hips and ridges, and any adhesive-set tile, both carry temperature floors of their own. In practice the tile window in this market closes earlier in the autumn than the shingle window does, not later.
The third problem is the trade itself. Tile is a regional craft, and the regions where it is a genuine craft are not this one. Underlayment is what actually keeps water out of a tile roof, and the crews who install underlayment correctly under tile every single week are working in Phoenix and Sarasota. Finding that experience here is possible. It is neither cheap nor quick.
Where tile does make sense is a house that already has it, usually a Mediterranean revival built for the look, and there we do relays and repairs properly. Lift the field, inspect and replace the underlayment, reset the sound tile and match the broken ones. That work we recommend without hesitation, because the structure is already sized and the detail already exists. That is a different job from a conversion, and one we gladly take.
If you want the look and the house was not built for it, ask us about a heavy profile laminate or a stone-coated steel panel instead. You will spend less, keep your framing as it is, and stay inside a product whose behaviour in this climate is well understood by the people actually installing it. We would rather sell the right roof at a lower price than the wrong one twice.
Our licensed and 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 tile roofing
The difference between tile roofing that lasts and tile roofing 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.
The standards behind tile roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The tile roofing work we do in Minneapolis follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every tile roofing project in Minneapolis gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
