PRODUCT TYPES
EPDM Is a Tried-and-True System in the North
EPDM does not expand or contract but it can stretch without cracking when the structure below expands and contracts due to temperature changes. If a full tear-out of your existing roof is not in the budget, maybe rolling out a new membrane over the old is the way to go.
This can be ordered in large rolls with various widths and lengths. Depending on the size of the area on some residential projects, you can install rolls big enough to prevent any seams or have very few seams. We typically recommend installing fully adhered systems.
Ballasted EPDM
Ballasted EPDM is more common on flat roofs that have parapet walls and cap flashing around the perimeter. The EPDM is secured to the parapet walls under the cap flashing around the perimeter of the roof and then held in place (ballasted) by rocks that sit on top of the EPDM.
This is a heavier roofing system due to the gravel, but it is a perfect option in situations where adhesion is not possible. An example would be a client wanting to replace a built up roof but avoid the tear out and extra insulation board costs. It might not be possible to adhere to the existing built up roof but the EPDM could be ballasted instead.
Built-Up Roofing
Built Up Roofing consists of a base insulation sheet on top of the decking with multiple layers of asphalt, base sheet, ply sheet, and gravel top to create a multi-layer system. If a full tear out and replacement is needed, this system can get more costly. However, this system has some of the best leak resistance, UV protection, and highest thermal rating due to the multiple layers.
Modified Bitumen – (Rolled Asphalt)
Modified Bitumen consists of a base sheet and a top cap sheet. The two pieces create a thick waterproof membrane that is very rugged.
Fully Adhered Modified Bitumen works well for smaller areas with a very subtle slope. It comes in rolls that are 3’ wide, therefore it will typically have more seams than EPDM which is why it is suited for areas that are smaller with a tiny bit of slope. It is composed of two parts: The base sheet, which is applied first and adhered to the decking, and then the cap sheet.
Welded (Torch Down) Mod Bit is used in commercial applications and torched down to the base sheet at the seams to provide extra adhesion.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Roofing
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Roofing is more resistant to chemicals than TPO, a better choice for industrial buildings that could be exposed to harsh chemicals or chemical byproducts.

What Our Clients Say
I had my roof and siding repaired/replaced after a hail storm and the results were better than new. It was great working with Andy S! He did all the heavy lifting of communicating with the insurance company and kept me informed at every step along the way. Would recommend!
Summit Construction replaced my roof through an insurance claim, and the entire process was incredibly smooth. Honestly, I barely had to do anything.
Bernie was amazing and handled communication with the insurance company, explained everything clearly, and kept the project moving without any stress on my end. The crew was professional, efficient, and respectful of my property, and the finished roof looks great.
If you’re dealing with storm damage or an insurance claim and don’t want the headache that usually comes with it, Summit Construction is the way to go. Great experience from start to finish.

We had hail damage and struggled with our insurance company to get damage covered. Our contractor Nick gave us 110% of his time to work with our insurance company to get our damage covered. It took over a year but he never gave up. He always made himself available when ever we needed him or had questions. The work Summit did was amazing! They were meticulous with their work. I feel like I have a new home!
They are very upfront with their costs, so no surprises. I can't say enough about our great experience with Summit. I would highly recommend this company!

The team was punctual, knowledgeable, and Nathan took the time to clearly explain every step of the process so there were no surprises.

Our experience with Matt & Summit was great. Matt walked us through each step in the process and helped us navigate the insurance component. They handled all of the back and forth with the adjuster to resolve any differences that existed between their estimate and the adjuster's. The crew was quick and cleaned up well after the job. The finished product looks great, and we've contracted with Matt for Summit to do some additional work for us too.
Summit was fantastic to work with! Our roof had old hail damage and Matt Nelson helped us open a claim with the insurance company in 2024. There was a lot of back and forth for months, where Matt took pictures, got shingle samples, and negotiated with our insurance, but eventually they denied the claim. I guess it was fortunate that we were hit with another big hail storm in September 2025 and Matt was ready to go to bat for us with insurance right away. After the claim was approved, it took mere days for Summit to coordinate a date for the roof replacement. The construction crew worked efficiently and cleaned up nicely. Highly recommend them.
When I was searching for roofers in Minnetonka after getting hail damage, Summit Construction Group came up and had stellar reviews. Joe was the salesman that came and assessed our damage, then worked directly on our claim with Travelers. He was very informative through the full process and there wasn’t much more that I had to do besides pick a new shingle color. The team showed up when they said they would, worked very quickly and came back the next day to clean everything up. Roof looks great, and they are still assisting with the insurance claim.
Was a seamless process and very professional. We will be using them for our siding replacement next.

Jeff Rozman of Summit Construction Group was a tremendous help during a very stressful time. Our home was damaged during a violent hail storm. This was our very first home owners insurance claim. Jeff was knowledgeable, a great communicator and knew exactly what steps to take. Most of all, he listened to our concerns and acted appropriately. Summit's crew did an outstanding job replacing our roof and skylight. We are so pleased with the outcome.
Summit Construction was amazing! They prioritized our roof repair knowing we were going into winter and concerned. Thankful for their communication, quality work and follow-through.
I worked with Jeff Rozman at Summit Construction to assist me with roof replacement, following hail damage. Jeff was a wonderful project manager, walking me through insurance and actual roof replacement. The entire process was clear and efficient. I highly recommend Jeff and Summit Construction.
The experience with Montana O as project leader and the Summit Construction Group could not have been better. They delivered an excellent end-result and kept our neighbors and neighborhood happy along the way. We could not recommend this team and the leadership more highly!
See attached photo for evidence of workmanship where the original wood edging and metal work required repair and then the new tile has been positioned for a perfect fit.

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Summit. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and stress free. Durham was absolutely fantastic to work with. He was knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was done right.
The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and left everything spotless once the job was done. The quality of the roof is exceptional, and Durham took the time to walk me through the materials, process, and warranty so I felt completely confident in my decision.
It is rare to find a company that combines great workmanship with such outstanding customer service. This team truly does. I would 100 percent recommend them to anyone needing roofing work done. You will be in great hands with Durham and his crew.

We just got our roof replaced by Summit. They supported us during the whole process and did an excellent job on getting the claim approved and installing a new roof, while taking care of the plants and furniture the day of the job. Special thanks to Nathan and Nick!
Our project manager Christian worked for 9 months w/ Statefarm to get our claim approved for a new roof. Christian’s communication was stellar throughout the process. We have a beautiful new roof and thank Christian for not giving up.
We absolutely love our new roof from Summit. It was a great experience all around. Their team took care of everything and all we had to do was pick the color of our shingles. They were professional and courteous through the entire process. I would highly recommend Summit for your roofing needs.
Initial interaction with Christian regarding hail damage to our roof was cordial and low key. He determined that our roof was damaged to the extent it needed/justified replacement of the shingles. In spite of initial resistance from the insurance company, he provided the additional necessary information convincing them of the of the need for replacement. Minimal work on my part. From that point on the entire process went smoothly as the crew showed up on time, worked hard throughout the day, and finished their work by quitting time the same day! Everything cleaned up before they left and no damage to new flowers blooming beside the house. Used extensive tarps and 4x8 plywood sheets to protect siding and windows. Would highly recommend them to anyone considering/evaluating roofing work.
We recently hired Summit to replace our roof after hail damage from last summer, and we couldn't be happier! The team was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the process. Christian handled everything and kept us well-informed along the way.
The installation was quick, and they left our property clean. Even coming back to ensure no nails/screws were left in the yard. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and our new roof looks amazing!
I highly recommend Summit for any roofing needs. Thank you for a job well done!

Summit Construction Group did a great job on the new roof for our commercial building. From the first walkthrough to the final cleanup, they were solid. Easy to work with, stayed on schedule, and kept everything clean and professional.
They installed a GAF 60 Mil TPO Rhinobond system and took care of everything — permits, tear off, cleanup, you name it. It was clear the crew took pride in their work.
It was one of those projects that went exactly how you hope it will. No surprises, no chasing people down, just quality work from a team that knows what they are doing.
If you are looking for a reliable roofing crew, I would definitely recommend Summit.

Absolutely five stars for Summit Construction! They replaced my entire roof in just one day—fast, efficient, and professional. Callen did an outstanding job coordinating everything and worked directly with my insurance to get the project fully covered. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend!
Aaron Anderson did a great job helping us navigate the whole process of hail damage on our roof and gutters. He also brought us some drinks too which is nice! Highly recommend using this company, they really did a great job.
I am SO happy we went with Summit Construction, and specifically Brett Malinski, for our recent roof replacement (house and detached garage). Brett helped me maximize my insurance coverage from hail damage and kept the actual roof replacement so quick and low stress.
I hope we don’t have another project like this for a long time, but if we do, Brett will be my first call!
