Why Collins for Northern Minnesota
Roofs built like they should be — with trained crews, in our own shop, on your property.
01
We Manufacture Onsite
We bring portable roll-forming equipment to your property and manufacture standing seam panels there — at ground level for most projects, or set up directly on the roof for large commercial work. Continuous panels, no shipping damage, custom-cut for your specific roof. Most metal roofers can't do this.
02
Sheet Metal in Our Cloquet Shop
Custom-fabricated trim, flashings, soffit, and fascia from our Cloquet sheet metal shop — fabricated at our own shop, installed by our trained crews. The reason your installation looks finished, not patched together.
03
Built for Northern Weather
Roofs designed for heavy snow loads, ice dam risk, and the lake-effect weather that defines Northern Minnesota. Cold-roof construction, vented built-up decks, and engineered ice dam prevention — built into the system, not bolted on after.

Stories from Northern customers
★★★★★
“Collins Roofing and Sheet Metal did a complete tear-off and re-roofing of our house in just under a week. Communication was good from the initial quote through the end of the job, the crew was friendly, efficient, and thorough. Probably the best contractor experience we've had in Duluth. And the roof is beautiful!”
★★★★★
“Complete tear off and installation of a new metal roof. The Collins crew was professional and the final result is excellent.”
Common Questions
Northern Minnesota Roofing FAQs
How much does a standing seam metal roof cost in Northern Minnesota?
+
Every property is different, but most Collins standing seam projects fall between $25,000 and $65,000 — with most landing in the $35,000–$50,000 range — depending on size, pitch, complexity, and color selection. We also offer asphalt replacement at competitive Northern Minnesota rates. Free on-site estimates and financing up to 84 months.
Is a metal roof loud when it rains or hails?
+
No. A properly installed standing seam metal roof is only about 3 decibels louder than an architectural shingle — imperceptible to the human ear. Because your Collins standing seam roof is installed over a solid deck with proper underlayment, it sounds no different inside your home than the asphalt roof you have today.
Will a metal roof prevent ice dams?
+
A standing seam metal roof sheds snow naturally, reducing — but not eliminating — ice dam risk. For homes with serious ice dam problems, we install foam-insulated, vented built-up decks underneath the roofing material. This is the actual fix for ice dams, not heat cables or annual steam removal. We’ve been installing these systems for over a decade across Northern Minnesota.
How does standing seam handle hail and wind?
+
All Collins standing seam panels carry a Class 4 impact rating — the highest available. Wind rated to 110+ mph standard, with proper installation rated up to 200 mph. The Class 4 rating typically gets homeowners 10–25% off their homeowner’s insurance premium.
How long does a Collins standing seam roof last?
+
All Collins standing seam systems are 50+ year systems with 40-year limited material warranties and 20-year labor warranties. Most property owners who install a Collins standing seam roof never replace it again.
Are you licensed in Wisconsin?
+
Yes. Collins Roofing & Sheet Metal holds Wisconsin Dwelling Contractor license 091400032-DC and Minnesota contractor license BC672600. We're fully insured in both states. Cloquet is our headquarters — just minutes across the border from Northern Wisconsin communities.
How quickly can you start my project?
+
Because we bring our own roll-forming equipment to your property and fabricate panels onsite, we're not waiting weeks on factory orders. Your project starts when we say it starts. Typical residential standing seam projects take 3–5 days; complex commercial projects 7–14 days.
