Ascension Roofing & Siding replaces and repairs roofs across Zimmerman, from the older homes in the center of town to the newer neighborhoods on the south side. We’re a local Sherburne and Isanti County company, we’ve replaced more than 700 roofs, and we’ve been doing this since 2007.
Roof Replacement in Zimmerman
Zimmerman has some of the newest homes in Minnesota. The median home was built in 1999, and only about 9 percent of households rent (BestNeighborhood). Minnesota asphalt roofs usually last 15 to 25 years, so a lot of Zimmerman homes are now replacing their first roof.
What a replacement with us includes:
- Free inspection of the roof and attic, with photos of what we find.
- A written price for the whole job, not a per-square number.
- Permits handled. We pull any permit the City of Zimmerman requires and schedule the inspection.
- Full tear-off to the deck, with soft or rotted decking replaced, not covered.
- Ice and water barrier from the eaves to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall, per Minnesota code.
- Attic ventilation corrected, so the roof isn’t cooked from underneath and ice dams have less to work with.
- New step and wall flashing, never reused.
- Upgrades worth considering on a first replacement. Impact-resistant shingles, better ventilation and metal are all options, and we’ll walk you through the cost of each.
- One to two days on site for most homes, then a magnetic nail sweep and full cleanup.
- 5-year workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer’s material warranty.
Hail and Storm Damage in Zimmerman
There have been 62 hail reports within ten miles of Zimmerman since 2004, including hail up to 2.75 inches across. May and July are the most active months, and the most recent nearby hail fell on June 12, 2024 (Stormersite). Hail damage often isn’t visible from the ground: the shingles look fine but the mat underneath is bruised, and the roof fails a few years later.
We inspect, photograph and document what’s actually there. If you have a real claim, we’ll meet your adjuster at the house and help with the paperwork. If you don’t, we’ll tell you so. See our storm damage repair page.
Shingle Roof Repair
Blown-off shingles, a leaking pipe boot, or a drip at a chimney or vent can usually be repaired. We take small jobs and tell you honestly when a repair is the smarter move.
Metal Roofing in Zimmerman
A metal roof sheds snow, stands up to hail and wind, and commonly lasts 40 to 70 years. We install standing seam, metal and stone-coated shingles, and exposed-fastener panels for homes, shops and outbuildings. See our metal roofing page.

Zimmerman Roofing FAQs
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Zimmerman?
We pull any permit the City of Zimmerman requires for your project and handle the inspection, so you don’t have to.
How much does a new roof cost in Zimmerman?
Most residential roof replacements run roughly $8,000 to $30,000, depending on the size and pitch of the roof, how many layers come off, decking repairs and the material you choose. You’ll get one written price after a free inspection. Financing is available through Service Finance.
This is my home's first roof replacement. What should I upgrade?
Ventilation is the most common fix, since builder roofs often have too little. Impact-resistant shingles can lower insurance premiums with some carriers, and metal is worth pricing if you plan to stay a long time.
How fast can the job be done?
Most Zimmerman homes are done in one to two days, and many in a single day.
Should I file an insurance claim after hail?
Get an inspection first. Hail damage often isn’t visible from the ground, and filing a claim with nothing to find isn’t worth it. We’ll document what’s there and tell you either way.
Can you replace my roof in the winter?
We don’t install roofs in Minnesota winter. Shingles need warmth to seal properly, and cold installs can void the warranty. We’ll tarp and make emergency repairs and schedule the replacement for spring.
