Bill & TracyFounders · Est. 2000
The family behind the roofs

Founded by Bill Anderson and Tracy Ellingson

When Bill and Tracy started Minnesota Metal Exteriors in 2000, the idea was simple: do the job right, treat people the way you’d want your own family treated, and stand behind every roof.

More than 26 years later, that hasn’t changed. We’ve grown into one of Minnesota’s most experienced roofing and exterior contractors, trusted on everything from family homes and lake cabins to barns, churches and commercial buildings. But we’re still a local, family-owned business, and when you call, you’re talking to people who care how your project turns out.

We skip the fancy showroom and put that money where it counts: into skilled crews, quality materials and fair prices. (Here’s why we don’t need a fancy showroom.)

“It’s our goal to earn your respect, trust and business. We look forward to hearing from you!”

NEWSnow guard installation for new and existing metal roofs

When too much snow accumulates on a metal roof, there’s a higher risk of avalanches as the snow and ice become too heavy to stay in place. Snow guards are an effective and simple solution to reduce avalanches and the hidden dangers of shedding snow.

Some contractors don’t install snow guards on new metal roofs, and almost no contractor will install them on an existing roof. But we have a patented new tool that makes it a breeze.

We now specialize in installing snow guards on existing roofs using our Kairos® tool to easily remove a metal panel out of a field of panels, install the snow guard and put the panel back in place — with no damage.

Going with MME is the best choice you can make for having a metal roof installed. Bill and Tracy are very knowledgeable and run their business with the utmost integrity. They worked hard to replace our roof first thing this spring, and communicated with us on a daily basis until the job was done. They respected our property and left no roofing debris for us to clean up, and the cost was far less than any other quote we received. If you want to work with people that are kind, honest, treat you like a friend, and do a great job, go with Bill and Tracy at Minnesota Metal Exteriors.

Truly a professional team of workers, great communication along each step of the way to fix my damage roof in recent storm. No one counts on a tree falling and damaging your roof in the winter. But they acted with importance and quality manner that proves they are a great company to hir. I'd highly recommend reaching out to them, I will definitely reaching out to them when I add onto my garage this summer. Thank you again, Minnesota Metal Exteriors, Anoka

Wow, MME did a great job on our steel roof for both our garage and house. They were very reasonably priced and communicated well (unlike many contractors I've worked with). Highly recommend them.

Tracy and Bill put a new metal roof on my barn and it looks incredible! Barn roofs are a definite niche with each one being unique, including this one with replacing a few rafters, and they made sure it was done right.

A homeowner’s guide

The importance of choosing the right Minnesota roofing company

Exterior contractor specializing in metal roofing in Minnesota & Wisconsin — here’s the honest advice we’d give a friend, whether you hire us or not.

Protecting your investment starts with the installer

Choosing the right Minnesota roofing repair, replacement, or installation company is crucial to protecting your investment in your roof. The roofs we do are known for their durability, energy efficiency, and longevity, but all of these benefits depend on the quality of installation.

A poorly installed roof can lead to a variety of problems, including leaks, rust, and even structural damage. Furthermore, a poorly installed Minnesota roof (asphalt, wood shakes, metal, tile & slate) can also decrease the energy efficiency of your home, leading to higher energy bills.

To avoid these problems, it’s important to choose trusted roofing professionals who are experienced, skilled, and knowledgeable, like Minnesota Metal Exteriors. A good roofing installer will not only install your roof correctly but also provide you with advice and guidance on how to maintain it in the years to come. With the right roofing company, your investment can last for decades, providing you with peace of mind and a beautiful, energy-efficient home.

Experience: why it matters in Minnesota roofing

Experience is another important factor to consider when choosing a roofing installer. An experienced Minnesota roofing company will have worked with a variety of roofing systems and will know how to handle any challenges that may arise during installation. Experience also allows a pro roofing contractor to work more efficiently, leading to a faster, more cost-effective installation.

When looking for a Minneapolis area roofing company, ask about their experience in the industry. Look for someone who has been in the business for several years (we’ve been in business since 2000) and has a proven track record of successful roofing projects for commercial and residential applications. An experienced MN roofing contractor will give you peace of mind, knowing that your investment is in good hands.

Attention to detail: why it’s crucial in roofing

Attention to detail is crucial in roofing repair, replacement or installation. A good roofing contractor should be meticulous in their work, ensuring that every panel is properly aligned, every screw is tightened, and every flashing is installed correctly. Even the smallest mistake can lead to problems down the line, so attention to detail is essential in creating a long-lasting, leak-free roof.

When choosing a roofing company in Minnesota, look for someone who pays close attention to detail. This can be seen in their past work, as well as in their communication with you. A good MN roofing company should be willing to take the time to answer your questions, explain their process, and ensure that you understand the installation process from start to finish.

Communication skills: necessary for a successful roofing project

Communication skills are essential in any successful roofing project. A good roofing contractor like Minnesota Metal Exteriors will communicate clearly and effectively with you throughout the entire process, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns you may have. Good communication also involves setting clear expectations, providing accurate quotes, and ensuring that you understand the installation process.

When choosing a roofing company in Minnesota, look for someone willing to answer your questions, provide regular updates, and listen to your concerns. A good roofing expert should also be able to explain complex concepts in simple terms, so you understand every aspect of the installation process.

We will keep you informed through, and after, every step of the process.

Red flags to watch out for when choosing a Minnesota roofing company

While there are many reputable roofing contractors in the industry, there are also some red flags to watch out for. These can indicate poor workmanship, lack of experience, or even fraud. Some red flags to watch out for when choosing a roofing contractor include:

  • Lack of references or testimonials from past customers
  • No certifications or credentials
  • Lack of communication or difficulty answering questions
  • No written estimate or contract
  • Extremely low price compared to other installers

If you encounter any of these red flags, it’s best to look for someone else. Investing in your roof is a smart decision, but choosing the right roofing contractor in Minnesota is just as important. Look for experience, certifications, and a strong reputation in the industry — along with quality workmanship, attention to detail, and good communication. By asking the right questions, watching out for red flags, and investing in a reputable Minnesota roofing contractor, you can make sure your roof lasts for years to come.
