Roofing Materials
Roofing is one of the most critical aspects of any building. Providing protection from the elements and enhancing the overall aesthetic of a home or commercial space. In Minnesota, roofing must withstand the extremes of both summer heat and winter cold, making material selection crucial for long-term durability and performance. Intense summer sun and heavy winter snow demand roofing materials that offer resilience, energy efficiency, and weather resistance.
Asphalt
Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material in North America, favored for their affordability, aesthetics and ease of installation. They are available in various colors and styles, making them versatile for many different home designs. Asphalt shingles are also very durable, typically lasting anywhere from 15 to 30 years. While they provide decent weather resistance, they are not as long-lasting as other roofing materials, particularly in areas with extreme hot or cold weather conditions.
Learn MoreMetal Roofing
Metal roofing has grown in popularity due to its durability and energy efficiency. Metal roofs typically made from steel, aluminum, or copper can last 40 to 70 years with proper maintenance. They are resistant to fire, wind, and rain making them ideal for homes in regions prone to severe weather. Additionally, metal roofs reflect solar radiant heat, reducing cooling costs in warm climates. While the upfront cost of metal roofing is higher than asphalt, its longevity often results in lower lifetime costs.
Learn MoreSynthetic Slate & Shake
Synthetic slate and shake roofing materials mimic the appearance of natural slate or wood but offer enhanced durability and lower maintenance. Made from engineered polymers, these materials are lightweight, impact-resistant, and are available in various styles. They provide the aesthetic benefits of traditional slate or cedar without the associated high costs or upkeep. Additionally, synthetic roofing is eco-friendly, often made from recycled materials, and can last up to 50 years.
Learn MoreTile Roofing
Tile roofing often made from slate, clay or concrete is highly durable and provides a Mediterranean or Southwestern aesthetic. These tiles are resistant to fire, rot, and insect damage, making them a long-lasting option. Tile roofs can last over 50 years and while the initial installation is more expensive than asphalt, their longevity and low maintenance make them a cost-effective choice in the long run. However, due to their weight, tile roofing may require additional structural support.
Learn MoreCedar Roofing
Cedar roofing provides a natural, rustic appearance that adds character to homes. Cedar shakes or shingles are typically used for this roofing type, offering insulation benefits and resistance to harsh weather. Cedar is also a sustainable material, as it is biodegradable and often harvested from renewable sources. However, it requires more maintenance than other materials and needs regular treatments to prevent moss, mildew, and insect infestations. Cedar roofs however can last up to 30 years with proper care and maintenance.
Learn MoreFlat Roofing (Commercial)
Flat roofing is commonly used for commercial buildings, though it is also found in some modern residential designs. These roofs often utilize materials like modified bitumen, EPDM (rubber), or TPO (thermoplastic), each offering varying levels of durability and weather resistance. Flat roofs are practical for commercial buildings because they allow for easy installation of HVAC systems and other equipment. However, they require more frequent maintenance to prevent issues with drainage, as standing water can lead to leaks and structural damage.
Learn MoreCustom Sheet Metal
Custom metalwork in roofing refers to the use of specialized metal features like gutters, flashings, or even unique roofing panels that add a distinctive touch to a home. Metalwork can be custom-fabricated to fit specific architectural details or to complement other roofing materials. Copper and zinc are commonly used metals, prized for their longevity and aesthetic appeal as they naturally develop a patina over time, adding character to the home’s exterior.
Learn MoreSolar Roofing
Solar roofing is an innovative solution that integrates solar panels directly into the roof. Solar roof tiles or shingles provide the dual function of protecting the home and generating renewable energy. While the upfront cost of solar roofing is high, it offers significant energy savings over time and may qualify for tax incentives or rebates. Solar roofing is particularly appealing to environmentally conscious homeowners looking to reduce their carbon footprint while increasing their home’s energy efficiency.

The quality of workmanship is outstanding—our roof looks incredible and was completed on time and within the quoted price. What really stood out was their attention to detail and respect for our property. They left the area spotless and treated our home as if it were their own.
If you’re looking for a roofing company that is honest, reliable, and truly takes pride in their work, this is the one. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.
Was a seamless process and very professional. We will be using them for our siding replacement next.
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.
The roofing and gutter crews were prompt, professional and tidy. The work was completed flawlessly. I highly recommend Summit Construction and especially the project manager, Christian Decker.
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.
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!
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.
I hope we don’t have another project like this for a long time, but if we do, Brett will be my first call!
