Getting a new roof is one of the biggest investments you'll make as a homeowner. Understanding the process can help ease any concerns and ensure everything goes smoothly.
Step 1: Initial Inspection & Estimate
Our team will perform a thorough inspection of your existing roof, checking for structural damage, ventilation issues, and measuring for materials. You'll receive a detailed, no-obligation estimate.
Step 2: Material Selection
We'll help you choose the right roofing materials for your home and budget. From architectural shingles to metal roofing, we carry top-rated products from trusted manufacturers.
Step 3: Tear-Off Day
On installation day, our crew arrives early. We lay protective tarps around your home, then carefully remove the old roofing material down to the deck. This is also when we inspect the underlying structure for any damage.
Step 4: Deck Repair & Preparation
If we find any rotted or damaged decking, we replace it before installing new materials. We also install ice and water shield in critical areas — especially important in Minnesota's climate.
Step 5: Installation
New underlayment goes down first, followed by your chosen roofing material. We install proper flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys to prevent leaks.
Step 6: Cleanup & Final Inspection
We use magnetic nail sweepers across your entire property, haul away all debris, and perform a final quality inspection. Your property will look better than when we started.
Most residential roof replacements take 1-3 days depending on size and complexity. Contact Kodiak Structures & Exteriors at (651) 983-1609 to get started.
