Metal Roofing Contractor in Elk River, MN
Expert Roofing Services
Metal roofs for Elk River homes, garages, pole buildings and businesses. Built to shed snow and last for decades.
Metal Roofs Built for Minnesota Winters
Metal roofs shed snow, resist ice dams and can last decades longer than asphalt shingles. They’re a smart fit for Elk River’s mix of homes on larger lots, detached garages, shops and pole buildings.
We install three main types: standing seam (concealed fasteners, the premium choice), metal shingles (the look of shingles or shake with metal’s durability), and exposed-fastener panels (the budget-friendly choice for outbuildings and many homes).
Residential and Commercial Metal Roofing
From a house re-roof to a shop, farm building or small commercial building, we size the job, pick the right panel and gauge, and handle trim, flashing and snow retention so it performs through freeze-thaw cycles.
Metal typically costs more up front than asphalt shingles, but its long life and low maintenance often make it the better long-term value. See how it compares on our metal roofing page.
Ascension Roofing & Siding has served Elk River and the surrounding area since 2007, with honest recommendations, clear written estimates and photos of the work at every step.
Metal Roofing in Elk River: What to Know
Elk River gets its share of Minnesota storms. On July 28, 2025, the National Weather Service logged thunderstorm wind damage just west-southwest of Elk River as 60 to 70 mph winds crossed the metro, and the June 19, 2026 storms brought down trees near the city. Properly installed metal panels resist wind uplift and hail far better than most shingles.
The City of Elk River lists re-roofing and re-siding as over-the-counter residential permits, usually issued in one to two business days. We pull the permit through the city’s online portal and handle the inspection.

Elk River FAQs
Is metal roofing worth it in Minnesota?
For many homeowners, yes. Metal sheds snow, resists ice dams and wind, and can last decades longer than asphalt shingles. It costs more up front, so it pays off most if you plan to stay in the home.
Do you install metal roofs on pole barns and garages?
Yes. We install exposed-fastener and standing seam metal on garages, shops, pole buildings and small commercial buildings in Elk River and the surrounding area.
Is a metal roof loud in the rain?
Over solid decking with underlayment and attic insulation, a metal roof on a home is usually no louder than shingles.
Can you put metal roofing over shingles?
Sometimes, but we usually recommend a tear-off so we can inspect and repair the decking. We’ll explain the options for your roof.
