Elk River Roofing Project: Durable Solutions for Long-Term Protection

Quincy Street Northwest Elk River, MN 55330

In Elk River, MN, a few years back, we tackled a roofing project that was a simple but rewarding job. The home had suffered from hail damage, and the plastic roof vents installed by the original builder were cracked, allowing water to seep into the house. This posed a risk to the home’s structural integrity but also to its residents’ comfort and safety . At The Kingdom Builders, we knew we had to provide a solution that would not only fix the immediate issues but also stand the test of time.

The Challenge: Hail Damage and Faulty Vents

Hailstorms can wreak havoc on roofs, and this Elk River home was no exception. The shingles had been compromised, and the plastic roof vents were cracked, creating entry points for water. These vents, while common in many builder-grade installations, are prone to damage over time, especially in areas like Minnesota, where weather conditions can be harsh. The result? Leaks that could lead to more significant problems if not addressed promptly. More info on this on our blog about new homes

Our Solution: Quality Materials and Expert Installation

To address these issues, we turned to trusted, high-quality materials and our team’s expertise in roofing. Here’s how we transformed this roof:

  • Shingles: We installed Owens Corning Duration shingles in the Teak color, complemented by brown accessories. These shingles are knowned for their durability, wind resistance, and aesthetic appeal. The Teak color not only enhanced the home’s curb appeal but also provided a timeless look that blends seamlessly with the surrounding environment.

  • Vents: We replaced the cracked plastic vents with Lomanco 750 metal slant back vents. These metal vents are designed to withstand the elements, offering superior durability compared to their plastic counterparts. Unlike plastic, metal vents won’t crack over time, ensuring that the roof remains watertight and well-ventilated for years to come.

The house was a pleasure to work on, with a roof that was easy to walk on and decking made of OSB (oriented strand board), which provided a solid and stable base for our work. This allowed us to complete the project efficiently without compromising on quality.

The Result: A Leak-Free Roof Completed in a Day

Thanks to our experienced team and the right materials, we finished the entire project in just one day. Since the installation, there have been no reports of leaks, a testament to the quality of our work and the durability of the products we chose. The homeowners can now enjoy peace of mind, knowing their roof is protected against the elements and future weather challenges.
