Look beyond the initial price
Metal roofing offers a range of profiles and finishes. Compare the whole system, including its care requirements and suitability for your building.
Energy-conscious options
Reflective finishes can reduce solar heat absorbed by the roof. Results depend on the finish, roof assembly and building; savings are not guaranteed.
Snow management
Snow can slide from smooth metal panels. Roof design should consider snow retention above entrances, walkways and other areas below.
Long-term value
A higher upfront investment may make sense when you compare appearance, expected service life and maintenance needs for your property.
The details matter
Careful installation from the deck to the trim
A metal roof is more than its visible panels. We evaluate the roof beneath them and pay attention to the transitions where water, air and snow meet the building.
Alignment, fastening, flashing and ventilation affect how the roof performs. Your recommendation should explain those details along with the material and finish.

Good questions
Metal roofing FAQ
How long does a metal roof last?
Metal roofs can last for several decades. The selected product, installation, local exposure and maintenance all affect service life. We discuss the system and its care requirements when evaluating your roof.
Is metal roofing more expensive than shingles?
Usually, the initial cost is higher. The difference depends on the metal profile, roof size and complexity, preparation and installation scope. Compare the written quote with the expected upkeep and your plans for the property.
Can a metal roof handle Minnesota snow and hail?
A suitable system must be selected and installed for the building and local conditions. Smooth panels can shed snow, so snow retention may be needed above entrances and walkways. Hail resistance varies by product; metal roofing is not damage-proof and does not eliminate ice dams.
Can you install metal roofing over an existing roof?
Sometimes, but it is not suitable for every roof. The condition of the existing roof and decking, product requirements and applicable local requirements need to be reviewed before recommending an overlay or a tear-off.
Do you repair metal roofs or only install new ones?
We provide metal roof installation, replacement and repair. An evaluation helps establish whether a targeted repair is appropriate or a replacement should be considered.
Do you work on both homes and commercial buildings?
Yes. Minnesota Metal Exteriors provides residential and commercial metal roofing. We evaluate the building, roof system and project scope before recommending the next step.
