Why Cambridge Homeowners Choose Metal Roofing
It sheds snow. Isanti County winters bring heavy, wet snow and freeze-thaw cycles. Snow slides off a smooth metal surface instead of sitting on the roof, which cuts down on weight and ice dams.
It holds up to hail and wind. Many metal roofing systems carry the highest Class 4 impact rating and are rated for high winds. Ask us which panels qualify for a possible discount on your homeowners insurance.
It lasts. An asphalt roof in Minnesota typically lasts 15–25 years. A quality metal roof commonly lasts 40–70.
It saves energy. Reflective finishes help keep attic temperatures down in summer, and metal can be installed with more venting and insulation.
It fits your home. Standing seam panels look clean and modern. Metal shingles look like traditional shingles or shakes. Either works on farmhouses, ramblers, brick homes like the one above, and outbuildings.

How Much Does a Metal Roof Cost in Cambridge?
Most metal roofs in our area cost $700 to $2,500 per square (one square is 100 sq ft), installed. The price depends on:
- panel type (exposed fastener costs the least; standing seam costs the most)
- roof size, pitch and complexity (hips, valleys, chimneys and skylights all add labor)
- whether there’s one layer or several of old roofing to tear off
- decking repairs found during tear-off

Metal Roofing Cambridge MN FAQs
Is a metal roof loud when it rains?
Not when it’s installed over solid decking and underlayment, like we do. Most homeowners say it sounds about the same as shingles from inside.
Can a metal roof go over my existing shingles?
Sometimes. We usually recommend a full tear-off so we can inspect and repair the decking first. We’ll tell you honestly which option makes sense for your roof.
Does metal roofing attract lightning?
No. Metal doesn’t make lightning more likely to strike your home, and metal roofing isn’t combustible.
Will snow slide off onto my walkway or deck?
It can. We add snow guards above entries, decks and walkways so snow releases safely.
Can you install metal roofs in late fall?
Yes. Metal installs well in cold weather, unlike shingles, which need warmth for the sealant strips to bond.
Do you install metal on pole barns and garages too?
Yes. We install exposed fastener and standing seam panels on garages, shops and outbuildings throughout Isanti County.
