Roofing Services
Asphalt Shingle
The most common roofing choice in Minnesota — handles freeze-thaw cycles well, available in dozens of colors, and offers the best cost-to-lifespan ratio for most homes.
- 25–30 year lifespan
- $8,000–$18,000 typical range
- GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed
Metal Roofing
For homeowners who plan to stay long-term. One metal roof often outlasts two asphalt replacements — with better hail resistance and ice dam prevention built in.
- 40–70 year lifespan
- $15,000–$35,000 typical range
- Standing seam & metal shingle
Flat / TPO / EPDM
Specialized systems for flat and low-slope roofs — garages, additions, architectural homes. Materials engineered to handle standing water and Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles.
- 20–30 year lifespan
- $7,000–$15,000 typical range
- TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen
The Catch-All Roofing System
Northern Forge's documented process for catching every installation detail — from ice-and-water shield to final ridge cap — that separates a roof that lasts 30 years from one that fails in 10.

Most Twin Cities homes run $8,000–$18,000 for a full asphalt replacement, depending on size, pitch, and materials chosen. Metal roofing runs $15,000–$35,000 and lasts significantly longer. Insurance-covered storm damage often costs homeowners only their deductible. The inspection and written estimate are always free.
