For this specific home, the goal was to find a balance between the classic look of Mediterranean tile and the rugged durability needed for Minnesota winters. Standard asphalt shingles often struggle with our heavy snow loads and hail, but these metal tiles are built to last a lifetime.
Key benefits of this project included
- The Look of Tile, The Strength of Steel: You get the deep architectural profiles of traditional clay or concrete tile without the extreme weight that requires structural reinforcement.
- Weather Resistance: These systems are rated for high winds and shed snow much more efficiently than traditional materials, preventing ice damming.
- Energy Efficiency: The "above-sheathing ventilation" created by the tile profile helps keep the attic cooler in the summer, lowering AC costs.
A Permanent Roofing Solution
Many people in the Twin Cities area are tired of the 15-year replacement cycle of asphalt roofs. This stone-coated system is often the last roof a homeowner will ever need to buy. It’s a smart investment that increases the resale value of the home while providing peace of mind during storm season.
