Expert Asphalt Shingle Roofing for Minnesota Homes
Your roof is your home’s most important shield, a silent guardian standing between your family and Minnesota’s harshest weather. From the crushing weight of winter snow and the insidious threat of ice dams to the violent, hail-producing thunderstorms of summer, your roof endures a year-round assault.
At NMC Exteriors, we specialize in designing and installing high-performance asphalt shingle roofing systems designed to provide long-lasting protection. We combine industry-leading materials, meticulous craftsmanship certified by top manufacturers, and an in-depth understanding of Minnesota’s local climate to deliver a durable, attractive roof that helps safeguard your home and gives you greater peace of mind.
A failing roof is more than an inconvenience; it’s a threat to your home’s structural integrity and your family’s comfort. If your current roof is showing signs of age, has sustained storm damage, or you’re dealing with other common roof problems, our team is ready to provide a permanent, professional solution with a complete roof replacement.
The NMC Exteriors Advantage: Benefits of a Modern Asphalt Roof
Choosing an asphalt shingle roof from NMC Exteriors means investing in a comprehensive system that offers an unparalleled blend of performance, long-term value, and stunning curb appeal. We ensure your new roof is not just installed, but engineered to conquer the specific challenges of a Minnesota climate.
- Engineered for Minnesota’s Worst Weather: We don’t just use standard shingles; we install roofing systems proven to perform under duress. Furthermore, their advanced sealant technologies and reinforced nailing zones provide resistance to powerful wind damage up to 130 mph. This level of resilience is validated by independent research from organizations like the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), whose FORTIFIED Roof standards set the benchmark for storm-resistant construction.
- A Smart Return on Your Investment: A new roof is one of the few home improvements that provides both immediate protection and long-term financial benefits. According to Remodeling Magazine’s respected Cost vs. Value report, homeowners in our region can expect to recoup over 60% of the cost of their new asphalt roof in increased home value. This excellent ROI doesn’t even account for the significant savings you’ll gain by preventing costly water damage from a leaky roof and potential improvements in energy efficiency.
- Transform Your Home’s Curb Appeal: Your roof can account for up to 40% of your home’s visible exterior, making it a dominant design element. We offer a vast selection of asphalt shingles in a rich palette of colors and styles. Our design experts can help you choose the perfect color to complement your home’s existing siding, trim, and brickwork, creating a harmonious and updated look that will make you proud every time you pull into the driveway.
- Efficient Service and Lasting Reliability: Our certified crews are masters of their craft, ensuring your roof installation is performed with precision and efficiency to minimize disruption. The modular nature of asphalt shingles also simplifies future maintenance. Should a storm cause isolated damage years down the road, we can often perform a targeted roof repair, seamlessly replacing only the affected shingles to restore the integrity of the entire system.

Three-Tab Asphalt Shingles
As the long-standing industry standard, three-tab shingles offer effective, straightforward protection at the most accessible price point. Their single-layer construction creates a clean, uniform pattern that is well-suited for traditional home styles.
Dimensional (Architectural) Asphalt Shingles
Dimensional shingles represent the sweet spot of value, performance, and beauty, making them the most popular choice for Minnesota homeowners by a wide margin. By laminating multiple layers of asphalt-coated fiberglass together, manufacturers create a thicker, heavier shingle with a striking, multi-dimensional appearance.
Luxury Asphalt Shingles
For the homeowner who desires an elite aesthetic and uncompromising performance, luxury asphalt shingles are the pinnacle of the market. These heavyweight shingles are engineered with multiple layers to create an incredibly thick and durable profile, offering the most robust protection available.
Our Meticulous, Code-Compliant Installation Process
A roof’s performance is determined as much by the quality of the installation as the materials themselves. We adhere to a meticulous, multi-step process that exceeds the 2020 Minnesota Residential Code to ensure your roof is built to last.
- Thorough Inspection and Consultation: Our process begins with a comprehensive free exterior inspection. We assess your entire roofing system, including shingles, flashing, ventilation, and decking, to identify all potential issues. We then consult with you to discuss our findings and your goals.
- Property Protection: Before any work begins, we take extensive measures to protect your home and landscaping. We use tarps to cover your foundation plantings, siding, and windows, ensuring your property remains pristine.
- Complete Tear-Off and Deck Inspection: We remove all layers of your old roof down to the wooden deck. This allows us to inspect the structural foundation of your roof for any soft spots, rot, or damage that needs to be addressed before the new system is installed.
- Building a Water-Tight Foundation: We begin the new installation by applying a critical layer of protection against Minnesota’s infamous snow and ice. A specialized ice and water shield is installed at the eaves and in all valleys to prevent damage from ice dams. Then, a high-quality synthetic underlayment is laid over the entire roof deck as a secondary water barrier.
- Precision System Installation: We install all components of the roofing system with precision, including starter strips, the shingles themselves according to manufacturer specifications, and proper flashing around chimneys and vents. We also ensure your home has balanced and effective attic insulation and ventilation to protect your roof’s longevity and your home’s energy efficiency.
- Final Cleanup and Walk-Through: Our commitment to quality extends to the very end of the project. We conduct a thorough cleanup of the entire job site, including using magnetic rollers to pick up stray nails. We then perform a final walk-through with you to ensure you are 100% satisfied with our work.
