The New Brighton Roofing Company That Prices the Whole Roof
New Brighton was filled in later than the cities around it. A large share of the housing dates from 1970 onward, with the typical home landing near 1975. Architects of that decade liked shape. Gables meeting gables. Dormers. Skylights. Ceilings that vault straight up with no attic above them.
Those houses look good from the street, and they are genuinely harder to roof. Every place two planes meet is a valley, and a valley is a funnel. Every skylight is a curb that needs new flashing, not reused flashing. Every vaulted section is a cavity that cannot breathe the way a normal attic does.
A quote that ignores all three still fits on one page. It just fails sooner. As a roofing contractor in New Brighton, MN, we itemize those elements so you can see what you are buying.
Why New Brighton Homeowners Choose Our Roofing Company
- Our estimate is built to be compared. Valleys, skylight curbs, dormer flashing, and cathedral venting each get their own line. Hold it next to another bid,d and the difference stops being a mystery.
- We flag what your current roof is hiding. Skylights installed in the eighties, cedar shake converted to asphalt, a valley that was shingled over instead of rebuilt. We find these during the inspection, not halfway through tear-off.
- Colour and profile chosen before ordering. Homes here carry strong values, and shingle choice is visible from the curb for the next twenty-five years. We sample against your siding and trim first.
- Board approvals handled. Townhome and association properties around Long Lake and Innsbruck have their own sign-off process. We prepare the submission documents so your project is not waiting on paperwork.
- State licence, current coverage. BC794536. We attach the licence and both insurance certificates to every proposal so you are not chasing them later.

Our Roofing Services in New Brighton, MN
Full replacement. Tear-off down to the deck, then a plane-by-plane rebuild. Ice and water shield runs the entire length of every valley, not just the bottom third. Skylight curbs get new flashing kits rather than resealed old ones. Cathedral sections get baffles and a ridge vent sized to the cavity. Then underlayment and architectural shingles. Roof replacement New Brighton homeowners get from us takes longer on paper because more of it is written down.
Repairs. A lot of roofs here are mid-life with one failing detail. Water tracking down an interior wall below a dormer. A skylight that weeps every spring thaw. Shingles lifted off an exposed gable end by west wind. We price targeted roof repair as its own job and will recommend against replacement when replacement is not warranted.
Hail and wind claims. Cut-up rooflines hide damage. A back slope you cannot see from any road is exactly where an adjuster’s quick walkthrough misses things. We survey every plane first, hand over dated photographs, and attend the adjuster appointment so the approved scope reflects the whole roof.
Townhome and multifamily. Over a third of New Brighton’s housing units sit in apartment or attached properties. We take on townhome complex roofing and larger buildings, phased so residents keep access, and we work the same way throughout the northeast metro.
Questions Worth Asking Roofing Contractors in New Brighton, MN
Anyone can produce a number. The questions below separate contractors who measured your roof from contractors who estimated it from a satellite image. We have been on Twin Cities roofs since 1990, and we answer all four in writing.
- “How are you treating the valleys?” Open metal or closed-cut, and does the underlayment run the full valley length? Vagueness here is expensive later.
- “What happens to my skylights?” New flashing kits are the correct answer. Resealing the existing ones is a two-year fix on a twenty-five-year roof.
- “How will the vaulted ceiling vent?” If any part of the house has no attic, the answer has to be specific. Baffles, cavity depth, ridge vent sizing.
- “What is the licence number and can I see the certificates?” Ours is BC794536, and both certificates arrive with the proposal. Anyone who hesitates on this has told you something.

Frequently Asked Questions
My neighbour's rambler cost less than my quote. Why?
Because footprint is not the measure. Your roof likely has more planes, more valley length, and more flashing detail than a single-ridge rambler of the same square footage. Labour follows complexity, not floor area.
What is the difference between an open metal and a closed-cut valley?
Open metal puts a formed metal channel down the valley and leaves it exposed. Closed-cut runs shingles across and trims them. Metal costs more and moves water faster, which is why we usually specify it on the steeper New Brighton rooflines. We will quote either and explain the trade-off.
Do my skylights have to be touched during a re-roof?
On a roof past twenty years, yes. The flashing kit is what keeps a skylight dry, and it wears at the same rate as the shingles around it. Leaving the old kit in and shingling up to it is where spring leaks come from.
My house was originally cedar shake. Does that affect anything?
It can. Shake was often installed over spaced sheathing rather than solid decking. If yours was converted, we check what is underneath before quoting, because re-sheathing changes the number materially.
Part of my ceiling is vaulted. How does that get ventilated?
With baffles that hold an air channel open between insulation and deck, running to a ridge vent sized for that cavity. It is a different calculation from a standard attic, and it needs to be on the estimate.
How do you match shingle colour to my siding?
We bring physical samples and look at them against your actual exterior in daylight. Screen colours and brochure swatches both mislead. This takes twenty minutes and saves twenty-five years of regret.
What does the city require?
A building permit before tear-off, then an inspection afterwards. We submit the application and schedule the inspection with New Brighton ourselves.
Will you deal with my insurer?
Yes. We survey every plane, supply dated photographs, and attend the adjuster appointment. On a roof with hidden slopes that attendance is often what keeps the full scope in the approval.
Can you work within my association's rules?
Yes. We prepare the product data, colour submission, and scope documents boards typically request, and we match whatever has already been approved for the complex.
Are you licensed?
BC794536, issued by the State of Minnesota. Liability and workers’ compensation are both current,t and both certificates come attached to your proposal.
Do you do commercial work here?
Yes. TPO, EPDM, metal, and modified bitumen on flat and low-slope buildings along Old Highway 8, Silver Lake Road, and the interstate corridors.
How many days will it take?
Two to three for most homes here. A heavily articulated roofline can run longer. We commit to a date range in writing rather than a best-case.
