Duluth Roof Pros provides professional residential roof installation in Duluth, MN for residential and commercial properties across northeastern Minnesota. New work is a different job from replacement. A house in frame, an addition, a dormer, a garage or an accessory dwelling, or a deck going back to bare wood because the sheathing is being replaced. Failed shingles, tear-off and disposal are on our roof replacement page.
Duluth designs to the heaviest numbers of anywhere we work. The city publishes a ground snow load of 60 pounds per square foot and a roof snow load of 42, a 115 mile an hour wind speed, a 60 inch frost depth and a winter design temperature of 20 below.
Minnesota gets that roof figure by taking seven tenths of the ground load. Your plans reviewer works from the same published sheet.
At 42 pounds of roof load the truss package, not the shingle, is the expensive decision. Drift against a dormer wall or on the low side of a stepped roof is additional, and it is the part people forget when they add a bump-out late in design. We read the stamped truss drawings before quoting, because the uplift connections they call for are ours to install and the inspector's to look at.
The ice barrier rule is the state's. A membrane from the lowest roof edges to a point at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line, and on roofs of 8/12 or steeper not less than 36 inches from the exterior wall.
On a deep-overhang design that is more material than the number sounds like, and it is far cheaper now than after the fascia is on. Those figures are published rather than estimated.
Then the roof has to stay cold. Continuous intake at the eave, baffles that stop insulation from blocking the vent path, and exhaust high enough to actually move air are what keep ice off a Duluth eave. Asphalt over a well vented cold deck beats an expensive roof over a warm one every single winter. Baffles are cheap now and expensive later.
Minnesota's residential roofer license covers roofing and nothing else, so ask which class we carry before gutters, soffit or fascia get added to the scope. If your builder already has a roofer tied to his framing schedule, keep him. The honest value we add on a new build is the deck, the dry-in and the venting, not a brand of shingle. Ask which class of license any bidder carries before you compare prices.
Our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — windward-plane six-nail fastening, starter strip run along the rakes, hemmed edge metal at close fastener spacing, ASTM D7158 Class H field-of-roof ratings, ASCE 7 escarpment speed-up factors, ASCE 7 exposure categories B through D — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Duluth and nearby communities including Hermantown, Proctor, Rice Lake, Esko.

Materials, equipment and how we do residential roof installation
The difference between residential roof installation that lasts and residential roof installation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with windward-plane six-nail fastening, starter strip run along the rakes, hemmed edge metal at close fastener spacing, ASTM D7158 Class H field-of-roof ratings, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Duluth job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in northeastern Minnesota means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Duluth Chooses Duluth Roof Pros
- ✓Every proposal carries an exposure zone before it carries a price: where the house sits on the hillside, which planes face Lake Superior, and what stands upwind of each one.
- ✓Condition and damage are recorded by elevation and never averaged across a roof, because our lake-facing and hill-facing slopes routinely age years apart on the same house.
- ✓Perimeter before product. We would rather spend your money on starter along the rakes and hemmed edge metal than on a premium field shingle sitting above a bare edge.
- ✓We name the sheltered planes on your own house and specify them down, so nobody buys a crest-lot roof for a lower-hillside lot.

The standards behind residential roof installation
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down.

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
