Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Climax, MN homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Everything we do on a roof, done by crews who have been doing it the same careful way since 2002.
Coatings for low slope and older metal roofs that are still sound but weathered. Washed down, refastened, primed at the rust, then coated.
Guards installed as part of a roof job or on their own. Either way we check the hangers and the pitch while we are up there.
This is the work our name is attached to. Two decades of tin roofs on houses, churches, barns and additions, installed by crews who cut the trim on site instead of forcing something that almost fits.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
Water runs along decking and rafters before it ever drips, so the stain is rarely under the hole. We trace the leak back to where it really starts and fix that.
Rotted fascia and sagging soffit let water and animals in behind the roof edge. We cut the bad wood out and put new in.
A replacement is a big spend and it should feel orderly. We schedule around dry weather, work in the right order, and never leave a house open overnight.
Underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, sealed penetrations, and proper closures at the ridge.
New skylights set into metal or shingle roofs, with the flashing kit the roof actually calls for rather than a tube of sealant.
Metal, shingle and low slope work on buildings where a leak costs you more than a wet ceiling. Free estimates, same as anywhere else.
If wind got under your roof once it will try again. We fix the damage and close the edge back up so there is nothing left to catch.
Backed out screws, split washers, rust starting at a seam, a panel lifted at the eave. These are our roofs, and most of the time a repair is all it takes.
After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
Repair or replace, we handle both, and we work from what the roof actually needs rather than from what an adjuster might approve.
From a few tabs to a whole slope, we fix shingle roofs without pushing you toward a replacement you are not ready for.
Ice backs up at a cold eave and pushes water sideways under the roof. We clear it without gouging the panels or the shingles.
Most roofs somebody has called a lost cause are not one. We repair what can be repaired, and we tell you honestly when a repair will no longer hold.
Storm damage does not wait for business hours. We get the opening closed, photograph it for your insurance, and put the real fix on the schedule.
Inspections come free with an estimate. We would rather find the small problem this spring than replace a ceiling for you next winter.
Low slope roofs fail at the joints and around anything that sticks through them. That is where we start, not out in the middle of the field.
Here is what working with us looks like in Climax: you call, somebody comes out and measures, and you get a written estimate with the panel or the shingle spelled out on it. If you say go, we schedule you and we show up on that day.
The crew tarps the beds, keeps the yard picked up as they go, and runs a magnet over the drive before pulling out. Small things, but they are the ones Climax homeowners still mention a year later.
Why people around Climax call us back and send their neighbors our way.
The same family started this company putting metal roofs on neighbors houses in 2002. It has never been sold, franchised or handed off to a call center.
If your roof needs a repair and not a replacement, we say so. Plenty of our best customers are people we talked out of a job they did not need yet.
Somebody comes out, measures, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no number that expires if you do not sign today.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs are the work we are known for. Color, trim, fastening pattern — we have done hundreds and we will walk you through all of it.
You get a start date and we hold to it. If weather moves your job we call you, rather than leaving you watching the driveway.
Straight answers to what Climax homeowners ask us most often.
A typical Climax shingle roof runs roughly $8,000 to $18,000 in 2026 for an average single family home, and more if the deck has rot or the roof is steep and cut up with dormers. We do not price off a satellite photo — somebody comes out and measures.
Yes. Gutters, guards, soffit and fascia are all part of keeping the edge of a Climax roof dry, so we handle them along with the roof instead of sending you off to find somebody else to finish the job.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Climax metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Climax roof and write an itemized estimate you can hand to your adjuster. We do not file the claim for you and we will not promise you what an adjuster is going to approve — that is their call, not ours.
A metal roof installed properly on a Climax home should give you 40 to 60 years, and standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners. Screws and sealants on a panel roof want attention around year 20, which is a small job next to a re-roof.
Any dry stretch works. We roof in Climax year round, though we schedule shingle work for when it is warm enough for the strips to seal properly, and we watch the forecast so your house is never left open overnight.
