Metal Roofing That Fits Anoka’s Older Homes
Anoka has some of the oldest housing in the north metro, from the historic homes near downtown and along the Rum and Mississippi rivers to the post-war neighborhoods around them. Older homes often have steeper roofs, dormers and porch roofs that are hard on asphalt shingles. Metal handles those details well, and it can be styled to suit the character of an older house.
Ascension Roofing & Siding has served Anoka homeowners since 2007. Before we quote, we check the roof deck and attic, because older homes sometimes have plank decking, multiple shingle layers, or ventilation that was never done right. We correct ventilation on every replacement and pull all necessary permits.
Lance B. from Anoka praised owner Brian’s attention to detail in his Google review. We bring that same care to every older home we roof.
Why Metal Works Well on Anoka Homes
Handles steep pitches and complex rooflines
Steep roofs and dormers shed water fast, and metal takes advantage of that. Standing seam and metal shingles can be detailed around dormers, chimneys and valleys without the wear that shows up first in those spots on a shingle roof.
A good option for porches and accents
Not every project needs a full metal roof. Many homeowners add standing seam to a front porch, bay window or entry roof for a durable accent that pairs with asphalt shingles on the main roof.
Light on an older frame
Metal is light, so it adds very little weight to an older house. We still recommend a full tear-off so we can inspect and repair the deck underneath rather than covering problems up.
Less upkeep down the road
Metal doesn’t curl, crack or lose granules. Beyond an occasional check of flashing and sealants, there’s very little to maintain, which matters if you’ve spent years patching an older roof.
Metal Roofing Styles for Anoka Homes
Every house is different, so we’ll show you samples and talk through how each style will look on your home. We install all four main types and don’t steer customers to one brand.
Standing seam
Clean vertical lines and hidden fasteners. Popular on porches and accent roofs as well as full roofs on newer homes.
Metal and stone-coated shingles
A shingle or shake profile that keeps the traditional look many older Anoka homes call for, with the lifespan of metal.
Corrugated panels
A classic profile for detached garages and sheds, and an affordable way to put metal on a secondary building.
Exposed-fastener panels
Ribbed panels fastened through the face. Best suited to garages, workshops and outbuildings rather than the main house.

Metal Roof FAQs
Close
Can you install a metal roof on an older home in Anoka?
Yes. We inspect the deck and framing first, repair or replace damaged decking, and help you choose a style that suits the house, often metal shingles or shake for a traditional look. If your property has historic or association guidelines, check what’s allowed before choosing a style. We can provide product details to help.
How much does a metal roof cost in Anoka, MN?
Most residential metal roofs we install cost about $8,000 to $30,000 for the full project. Older homes with steep pitches, dormers or decking repairs tend to land toward the higher end. Estimates are free, and we offer several financing options.
Do you install metal porch or accent roofs?
Yes. A metal porch, entry or bay window roof is a smaller project that adds durability and curb appeal, and it pairs well with an asphalt shingle main roof.
