Corrugated metal roofing is a common choice in Minnesota due to its ability to handle heavy snow loads and its longevity. However, the extreme temperature swings between winter and summer cause the metal to expand and contract significantly. This movement can loosen fasteners and compromise seam seals, creating pathways for water and ice to penetrate. Our service process begins with a thorough inspection of every fastener and seam. We then apply specialized sealants that are designed to flex with the metal, creating a durable, watertight barrier against Minnesota's harsh elements.
Winter's freezing and thawing cycles, along with ice dams, pose a particular threat to corrugated metal roofs. Moisture can be driven into any small opening, leading to corrosion and potential structural damage. We ensure proper surface preparation by meticulously cleaning the metal, removing any existing debris, oxidation, or ice residue before applying our high-performance sealants. This detailed approach ensures a strong, lasting bond that protects your corrugated metal roof from the relentless cycle of freezing and melting, extending its service life.
Common questions
What is the 25% rule for roofing?

What is the average cost to have a new roof?
The cost of a new roof installation is influenced by your home's size, the chosen roofing materials, and the complexity of the roof's design. Factors such as the current condition of your existing roof and any needed structural repairs also affect the total price.

It should also account for the specific characteristics of your home and its location. We offer free phone quotes after a thorough assessment to give you a clear understanding of the investment for your Minnesota home.
How does Minnesota's climate affect corrugated metal roofs?
Minnesota's extreme temperature fluctuations cause metal to expand and contract, loosening fasteners and compromising seals on corrugated metal roofs. Heavy snow and ice dams can force moisture under panels, leading to corrosion. Our service addresses these issues by securing the roof and applying specialized sealants.
