Classic Minneapolis House Roof Restoration

Addressing the Decking:

The original decking on this Minneapolis home had weathered many seasons and was in rough shape. Years of expansion and contraction had left the 1x boards brittle, cracked, and uneven, so we knew it needed a smooth surface. To create a solid foundation for the new roof, we carefully installed a layer of 7/16th OSB over the existing decking. This crucial step provided a smooth, even surface for the high-quality roofing materials we’d install next.

Premium Materials for Lasting Protection

For this project, we selected top-tier materials designed to withstand Minneapolis’ tough climate—think heavy snow, ice dams, and stormy summers. Here’s what we used from Atlas to provide an extended manufacturer’s warranty:

• Ice and Water Barriers: We started with new ice and water barriers, a must-have for preventing leaks in areas prone to ice buildup and heavy rain.
• Synthetic Felt: Next, we added a layer of synthetic felt, boosting the roof’s defense against moisture.
• Flashings and Reglet: Every flashing was meticulously installed to keep water out, and we incorporated reglet—a specialized flashing technique—where the roof met the home’s stucco and chimney.
• Atlas Pinnacle Impact Shingles: The star of the show was the Atlas Pinnacle Impact shingles in the elegant HearthStone color, paired with sleek black accessories. These shingles don’t just look good—they’re built to resist hail and high winds, making them perfect for Minnesota weather.

Precision in the Details

This wasn’t a straightforward job. The home’s stucco exterior and chimney demanded extra care. We used a specialized cutting tool to carve the reglet precisely into the stucco and chimney, ensuring a tight, seamless fit that blends with the home’s character. Before adding the flashings, we also wrapped the ice and water barriers up the walls—an added step that locks in protection against water sneaking in. These details matter, and they’re what set this roof apart.

A Roof Built to Last

The Atlas Pinnacle Impact shingles aren’t just about curb appeal (though the HearthStone hue with black accents does turn heads). They’re engineered for durability, standing up to harsh conditions like hailstorms and gusty winds—common challenges in Minneapolis. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, these shingles, combined with our expert installation, mean this roof is ready to deliver decades of worry-free performance.

Transforming a Minneapolis Classic

This older home had a steep pitch and intricate stucco details that told a story of its past. Our team didn’t just slap on a new roof—we honored that history while bringing it into the future. The transformation was striking: a once-tired roof now shines as a standout feature, with the warm HearthStone shingles adding timeless elegance and the bold black accessories offering a modern edge. We also added K-Style gutters in a clean white color. These gutters do more than just handle water—they enhance the overall look and feel of the house.
