Roof Replacement in Duluth

Two homeowners on the same street can need very different roofs. One plans to stay for twenty-odd years and values low upkeep. The other may sell in five and wants sound value now. Neither is wrong, and a good replacement starts by respecting that. So we begin with the house and the plan. We measure each face, check the attic and note the roof's pitch and complexity, then compare architectural shingle, metal and cedar shake on cost, appearance and expected service life. Once you choose, the itemized quote lists each component, the quantities and the rate for any rotten plywood, which nobody can see until the old roof is off. The installation itself follows a fixed order. All old roofing removed. Plywood checked and repaired. Metal edging at eaves and rakes. Leak barrier in valleys and at penetrations. Synthetic underlayment. New flashing at walls. Ventilation balanced between intake and exhaust. Then the roofing itself, fastened to the manufacturer's specification and finished with matching ridge components. For the many two-story Duluth homes with valleys and wall intersections, those details deserve patience. When the work is done, the property is cleaned, the lawn swept with a magnet and the paperwork for your new roof handed over.
