METAL ROOFING

Roofing Contractors Minneapolis Co., is your local roofing company specializing in flat roofing!

Flat roofs are often thought to be completely level, but they actually have a slight slope to allow rainwater and melting snow or ice to drain off. This slope is usually very subtle, but it's crucial for preventing water damage. Without the proper slope, water could accumulate on the roof, causing damage and eventually leading to leaks. Therefore, it's important to hire a trusted team of roofing experts to ensure that your roof is properly sealed and drained.

What Is Standing Seam Metal Roofing?

Standing seam roofing is a type of metal roofing with vertical seams that run the roof length. We use hidden fasteners, which means no fasteners are visible and are not exposed to the elements, which can cause the fasteners to wear out over time. The seams are sealed with a unique adhesive, allowing the roof to expand and contract with changes in temperature without leaking. In addition, standing seam metal roofs are very low maintenance and can last for decades with proper care!

Let us help you select the perfect standing seam metal roof for your home or business.
