Residential Roofs for Installation
At Crown Exteriors, we know roofing inside and out! Our extensive experience with various roofing materials and manufacturers, including IKO and CertainTeed, has shown us that not all roofs and shingles are created equal. But don’t worry—you don’t need to be the expert. During your inspection, our roofing specialists will guide you through the process, helping you find the best roof for your needs and budget. Here are some of your options:
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Affordable, durable, and iconic, asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing material in the country. They make an excellent choice for Minnesota homes because they are energy efficient, durable, environmentally friendly, and easy to install. With a multitude of colors and styles to choose from, the possibilities for your roof are endless. Whether you prefer three-tab shingles, architectural shingles, or luxury shingles, we’ll help you find the perfect fit for your home.
Cedar Roofs
Cedar roofing offers the timeless beauty of wood with the added benefits of durability and wind resistance. Not only will your home gain a guaranteed boost in curb appeal, but you’ll also enjoy the efficiency and durability that cedar provides. Cedar roofs are resistant to moisture, decay, and pests, making them an excellent choice for homes in Minnesota. Upgrade to a cedar roof and see how it transforms your home into the envy of the neighborhood!
Metal Roofing
For top-tier performance, high durability, and low maintenance, metal roofing is the answer. This highly desirable, energy-efficient roofing material offers natural fire and water resistance, ensuring your home stays safe year-round. While metal roofs can be noisier during hail or heavy rains, this can be mitigated with the right decking and added attic insulation.

Drone Services to Diagnose and Resolve Roof Issues
One of the hardest parts about diagnosing and resolving roof issues is that sometimes it can be difficult to see the full roof, even with the proper roof climbing equipment! Fortunately, we’re able to overcome these limitations by using drone technology. That’s right—with our drone technology, we’re able to capture high-quality pictures and videos of your roof. Our drones even have options for thermal imaging to check for damaged insulation or gaps in insulation.
Based on the comprehensive data we gather, we can analyze your roof and determine the best course of action. After all, if you only need a simple, cost-effective repair, wouldn’t you want to do this instead of replacing your entire roof? Our commitment to transparency and honesty also ensures that we are providing you with accurate information about your roof. If you really do need a full replacement, our drone technology will show you areas of concern.

Our Roofing Installation Process
At Crown Exteriors, we know that installing a roof is not a DIY project, nor is it a job for just any roofing company. Unfortunately, the roofing industry has its share of bad actors. Out of state “Storm chasers” often lure homeowners with promises of new roofs at major discounts if they file a claim. While this may sound appealing, the work done by many out of state storm chasers is often subpar and may result in roofs that last only half as long as those installed by legitimate roofing businesses.
Your roof is your home’s first line of defense, protecting everything you hold dear: your family, pets, and possessions. You can trust Crown Exteriors to follow a strict, tried-and-true process that guarantees a smooth and efficient roof installation:
1. Free Evaluation
Getting in touch with us is easy! Fill out our online form or give us a call to schedule a free evaluation for your roof. Our team of roofing specialists will conduct a full evaluation and report back with detailed notes and pictures. There is no pressure to move forward—we will provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision.
If you decide to proceed with us, we’ll assist you in selecting the colors and styles of shingles that best suit your home. We also offer guidance on windows, doors, gutters and siding if needed. During this meeting, we will ensure you understand the process and answer any questions you might have. Our goal is to empower you to be an active part of the process. After all, this is your home, your investment, and your masterpiece.
2. Prep Work
Before installation, we make sure all our ducks are in a row! Proper planning minimizes chaos, and most roofing projects can be completed in a day or two. We often recommend that homeowners leave if they will be bothered by loud noises. Even if you aren’t, you might want to send the kids to Grandma’s house or relocate your pets for the day. Scraping off old shingles, hammering nails, and removing debris can be loud and disruptive.
However, if you prefer to stay in your home, we strive to make this process as stress-free as possible. We understand that some people prefer to remain in their homes. We will also fully protect other parts of your property, like grass, shrubs, trees, and windows, to keep them safe from damage during the installation.
3. Roof Installation
On the day of your roof installation, our crews will arrive on time and in proper uniforms. They will get to work installing your new roof using the highest quality materials and best-in-class craftsmanship. Crown Exteriors has the ability to complete roof replacements that include the entire roof system: roof decking, underlayment, drip edge, ice and water shield, roof vents, shingles, etc. Remember, your roof isn’t just meant to look pretty—it needs to keep your home safe and secure with the right components! We also understand you have a life, so we will work as quickly and efficiently as possible to get out of your hair.
4. Clean-Up
After each day’s work, we will clean up our mess to keep your home looking tidy. We understand roof construction can be a bit of an eyesore, and we want to be respectful of you and your neighbors. Keep in mind that while the roof is being installed, your home will be considered a work zone. There could be nails and other debris on the ground, so it’s best to keep kids and pets away until the work is complete.
5. Commitment
Crown Exteriors builds long-lasting partnerships with our customers. This means that we don’t just install your roof and leave. We are committed to providing you with unmatched customer service today and in the future. In other words, our commitment doesn’t end with your roofing project. With our 100% satisfaction guarantee, we’ll be back to check on the project and help you with the next one on your list. It’s not uncommon for homeowners to look into siding or windows when they see how much they love their new roof!

Commonly Asked Questions
We offer a variety of roofing services including residential roofing installation, commercial roofing, roof inspections, roof repair services, and storm damage repair. We service various roof types including asphalt shingle roofing, cedar roofs, commercial roofs, and metal roofing.
During your home evaluation, we will guide you through the process and help you find the roof type that best suits your home. We take into consideration factors such as durability, aesthetics, and budget to recommend the most suitable roofing material for your needs.
Yes, we offer free roof evaluations to assess the condition of your roof and provide recommendations for any necessary repairs or replacements. Our team will work with you to develop a plan that aligns with your roofing budget.
Once we have a signed agreement and deposit, work orders will be created for your project. You will receive an email in the coming days with general scheduling details and contact information. Our Job Supervisor will then reach out to you to go over project details, timelines, and answer any questions you may have. If you have additional questions, please contact your sales representative.
No, you do not need to be present. Construction can be loud and intrusive, so we encourage customers to be absent during the process. If you choose to stay, please limit your time outdoors due to potential hazards. Ensure you are available by phone on install day for any questions or concerns.
Materials are typically delivered the day the project begins, usually by a flat or boom truck. Roofing materials are often delivered directly to the roof. In the rare event of delivery damage, the supplier is fully insured and will handle any issues.
In Minnesota, it is state law that anyone supplying materials or labor has the right to file a lien if the homeowner does not pay their balance at the end of the project. This is NOT a lien and is nothing to worry about. It’s simply a notice stating that should you not pay your balance, they have that right. Once your balance is paid, no liens can be filed.
Yes, debris can enter the home during roof installations. We recommend removing or protecting items in uninsulated garages and closing windows. Crown Exteriors is not responsible for debris entering due to open windows or inadequate seals.
Whenever possible, Crown Exteriors uses customer-friendly dump trailers to limit invasiveness. These trailers are dropped off the night before or the morning of the project start date and picked up as soon as the project is complete, typically parked in the driveway.
Construction can cause vibrations. Please secure or remove hanging objects during the process. Crown Exteriors is not liable for objects that fall inside your home during construction.
Typically, at least half of your driveway will be used for materials and the dump trailer. This helps increase efficiency and decrease potential damages. Please limit driveway use during the project. Inform us if special considerations are needed.
Extra materials are always ordered to ensure enough for the project and to limit delays. Materials are scheduled for pickup by the supplier the same day as completion, but this can sometimes take multiple days depending on availability.
While we take precautions, there may be short-term discoloration to your grass after materials are removed. This typically lasts for a short time and will naturally correct itself.
Delays are possible due to material and labor availability, weather, and national circumstances. Every effort will be made to begin and complete your project as soon as possible. We will inform you of any major changes to the timeline and reschedule as soon as we can.
Yes, it is possible. The true condition of your decking is only known after tear-off. If repairs or replacements are needed to meet code, you will be notified with a rough estimate. If this is an insurance claim, we will submit documentation to your insurance company. You are liable for costs if coverage is denied.
Shingles often need heat to lay flat. It may take a few days for them to settle. Don’t worry, Crown Exteriors ensures a top-quality underlayment for a watertight seal while your shingles settle.
