A Fresh Roof for Elk River: My Own Home’s Transformation

Built in the early 2000s, my house had solid decking and flashing in great condition, making it a perfect canvas for a new roof. We went with Owens Corning Duration Designer Series shingles in Aged Copper, and I’m still obsessed with how that color pops. It’s this warm, bold shade that catches the eye and gives the house serious curb appeal. Six years later, in 2025, those shingles look just as good as the day we installed them. Since then, we’ve had smaller hail storms roll through Elk River, and these shingles have held up like champs—no dents, no damage, just reliable protection.

The install was a breeze thanks to the solid foundation. With good decking, the shingles laid down flat and smooth, and the existing flashing kept everything watertight. We ripped off the old, hail-ravaged roof, prepped the surface, and had the new one up fast. It’s not just pretty—it’s tough, standing strong against Minnesota’s unpredictable weather.

This job hit home in more ways than one. Living on the street we worked, I’ve seen how a quality roof changes everything. Six years of no leaks, no fading, and plenty of neighborly nods prove it. At The Kingdom Builders, we’re all about bringing that durability and peace of mind to every customer—starting right here in Elk River.
