Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Ruthton, 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.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs, measured and cut on site. We help you settle on a color, set the panels straight, and trim the ridge and valleys so the whole roof sheds water the way it should.
Squirrels, wasps and water all treat a soft soffit as a front door. We close it up properly instead of patching over it.
Wind and debris damage is not always obvious from the ground. We check the edges, the ridge, the valleys and the fasteners before telling you anything is fine.
One leak usually has company. We fix the one you called about and check over the rest of the roof while we are already up there.
Buying, selling, or just want to know how many years you have left? We look, we tell you, and we do not turn it into a pitch for a roof you do not need.
The layer you never see is what keeps water out on the ugly days. We do not thin it out to save a few dollars on a bid.
Old skylights leak at the flashing long before the glass ever fails. We reflash, reseal, or set a new unit and tie it in properly.
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.
A coating buys real years on the right roof and wastes money on the wrong one. We will tell you honestly which kind you are looking at.
Where it makes sense we set low slope metal over a problem section so it finally drains instead of ponding after every rain.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
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.
Hail bruises shingles and dents the softer metal on vents, valleys and gutters. We show you what we find and document it properly for the claim.
A limb through the roof or panels peeled back overnight needs covering now, not next week. We get it dried in first so the inside of the house stops taking damage.
We still shingle plenty of roofs. Cracked, curled and blown off shingles get replaced, and the valleys and flashing get reworked while we are up there.
Metal, shingle and low slope work on buildings where a leak costs you more than a wet ceiling. Free estimates, same as anywhere else.
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.
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.
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.
Steam and hand work, never a hammer and chisel on your roof. Then we check the eaves for the damage the ice already did.
Here is what working with us looks like in Ruthton: 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 Ruthton homeowners still mention a year later.
Why people around Ruthton 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Straight answers to what Ruthton homeowners ask us most often.
For most Ruthton homes, yes. A metal roof costs more up front than shingles, but it usually outlives two or three shingle roofs, sheds rain and snow better, and does not peel off in a hard wind. We will price metal and shingle side by side so you can compare real numbers instead of guessing.
Most Ruthton metal roof jobs land somewhere between about $12,000 and $30,000 in 2026, depending on square footage, pitch, panel type and how much tear off there is. Standing seam runs higher than exposed fastener panels. We measure before we quote, and the estimate is free.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Ruthton 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.
A typical Ruthton 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.
No. Estimates are always free in Ruthton. We come out, measure, look in the attic if we can get to it, and leave you a written price. Nobody will push you to sign anything that day, and the number does not expire in an hour.
A metal roof installed properly on a Ruthton 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.
