FAQs
What does it mean that your crews are “factory-certified” roofing professionals?
Factory-certified means every installer on our Oakdale roofing crews has been trained, tested, and approved by the shingle manufacturer we represent. Certification verifies that we follow the exact installation guidelines, use approved fasteners and accessories, and meet the manufacturer’s quality-control checkpoints. Because of this status, we can register enhanced warranties that non-certified contractors cannot offer, and you get peace of mind knowing your roof is installed exactly as the manufacturer intended.
Which roofing services do you provide to Oakdale homeowners?
Our Factory-Certified Crews Roofing—Roofing Done Right program covers the full roofing lifecycle: free roof inspections and estimates; complete tear-offs and re-roof installations; certified installation of asphalt shingles, metal, and low-slope systems; ventilation upgrades; flashing and skylight integration; storm-damage emergency repair; and ongoing maintenance packages. Whether you need a minor leak fixed or a full replacement, we have a crew specialized for the task.
How long does a typical roof replacement take from start to finish?
Most single-family homes in Oakdale are completed in one to two days once materials arrive on site. Day 1 is usually tear-off, decking inspection, and underlayment installation. Day 2 we install shingles, flashing, ventilation, and perform the final clean-up with magnetic nail sweep. Larger or more complex roofs (multi-level, very steep, or featuring extensive carpentry repairs) can take three to four days. We give you a precise schedule before work begins and keep you updated if unexpected weather or hidden damage extends the timeline.
What warranties or guarantees come with a factory-certified roof?
Because the work is performed by factory-certified crews, you receive two layers of protection: 1) the manufacturer’s upgraded material warranty—up to 50 years of non-prorated coverage on shingles, accessories, and labor for manufacturing defects; and 2) our 10-year workmanship guarantee that covers installation-related issues such as leaks due to improper flashing or nailing. Both warranties are transferable once within the first 10 years, adding resale value to your Oakdale home.
Are you licensed, insured, and compliant with local Oakdale building codes?
Absolutely. We hold a Minnesota residential building contractor license (#BCXXXXXX) and carry $2 million in general liability insurance plus full workers’ compensation coverage for every crew member. Our project manager secures all required Oakdale building permits, schedules city inspections, and ensures compliance with Minnesota Residential Code, including ice-dam protection, ventilation minimums, and energy-efficiency standards.
How should I prepare my home and property before the crew arrives?
1) Move vehicles out of the driveway and garage to keep them safe and give us staging space. 2) Remove fragile items from interior walls or ceilings—hammering can cause vibrations. 3) Mow the lawn the day before; short grass helps us collect stray nails with our magnetic sweep. 4) Cover valuables in the attic with a drop cloth to protect against dust. 5) Keep pets and children indoors or off-site for safety. We’ll handle the rest, including protecting landscaping with tarps and performing a complete post-job cleanup.
