Choosing a roof in Burnett County isn't just about picking a color; it’s about preparing for the reality of Wisconsin weather. For this featured project in Grantsburg, the homeowners wanted to move away from the constant maintenance of asphalt and toward a permanent solution that fit their wooded lot. We installed a continuous standing seam metal roof in a classic forest green, creating a look that is as functional as it is beautiful.
Most roofs fail at the seams or fasteners. By using our onsite roll forming technology, we custom-fitted every panel to the exact length of the house. This means there are no horizontal laps where water can back up under ice dams—a common headache for Grantsburg residents.
- Technical Breakdown: Built for the North
- Zero Exposed Fasteners: We used a hidden clip system. Since the screws aren't exposed to the sun and snow, the seals won't perish or leak over time.
- Thermal Expansion Ready: Metal expands and contracts as temperatures swing from -20°F to 90°F. This standing seam system allows the panels to "breathe" without stressing the structure.
- Shedding the Snow: The vertical ribs and smooth finish ensure that heavy snow slides off before it can add dangerous weight to the rafters.
This home now stands as a landmark in the neighborhood. Beyond the immediate curb appeal, the owners now have a roof with a 50-year-plus lifespan that actually helps lower cooling costs in the summer. As Grantsburg metal roofers, we take pride in installations like this because we know they’ll still look this good decades from now.
