Most roof replacements here are done in one to two days. The old shingles come off completely, the decking and flashing get checked, and the new system goes on to manufacturer specifications. Then the jobsite gets cleaned, including a magnetic sweep for nails, before we leave. That is standard, not an upgrade.
“These guys rock! Very reasonable and efficient!… We had 3 roofs replaced by them and they were in and out in a day and very clean!”

Exterior work is not anonymous. Brian, the owner, is the name that comes up again and again in the reviews homeowners leave: keeping people updated through a job and helping them work through the insurance side of a claim. Derek Gajewski comes up most often in connection with insurance claims and checking in while work is underway. The crews get named too, which does not happen by accident.
“We love Brian and the crew. They are quick, honest and do great work. Never throughout the process were we left not knowing exactly what was going on or what was going to happen.”A South Metro homeowner, in a review
“We had the very best experience with BN. The roof crew were terrific and very friendly. They completely cleaned up at the end of the day and even blew the leaves off our patio! I can’t say enough about Jeff and John who did our siding job. They did excellent, professional work – we absolutely love our new look.”
“These guys rock! Very reasonable and efficient! I would recommend them to everyone and anyone! No I’m not related either being a Nelson. We had 3 roofs replaced by them and they were in and out in a day and very clean!”
“We had hail come through last summer, and had them come check our roof. We ended up getting a full roof replacement and new garage door. Again, work was done in a timely manner and the crew was great! I recommend them to EVERYONE I know.”
“Wonderful contractor, the people were on time everyday and personable. They did a spectacular job on roof and siding. Derek Gajewski was a great guy to work with and he stopped by to check on the progress continually.”
If your house is in one of these communities, we have almost certainly replaced a roof on your street or the next one over.
Most roof replacements are completed in one to two days, depending on size, complexity and weather.
Yes. We perform full tear-offs and install new roofing systems properly from the deck up. We do not lay new shingles over old ones.
Asphalt shingles are the most common choice in Minnesota: cost-effective, reliable, with architectural and impact-resistant options that handle wind, snow and freeze-thaw cycles. Metal is extremely durable, sheds snow well and needs little maintenance, at a higher upfront investment. We walk through the pros and cons for your home, not a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
Roof replacement costs in the South Metro vary with roof size and pitch, material, the number of existing layers to remove, and the condition of ventilation, flashing and decking. There is no single number: a small, simple roof with one layer to remove is a different job from a large, steep roof with two layers and decking repairs. You get a clear, written estimate so you know exactly what is included before you decide.
Yes. We regularly assist homeowners with storm damage claims: inspection, photo documentation, meeting the adjuster, and making sure the scope reflects the actual work. If insurance is involved we help ensure the scope aligns with approved coverage whenever possible.
Absolutely. Cleanup and debris removal are standard, not upgrades, including a magnetic sweep of the yard for nails.
