Standing Seam Metal Roof in Duluth's Lakeside Neighborhood

This brick home in Duluth's Lakeside neighborhood needed more than just a new roof. The existing setup wasn't performing the way it should - poor insulation and inadequate venting were leaving energy on the table and putting unnecessary stress on the structure. So we addressed all of it at once.

We installed a standing seam metal roof finished in Ultra Low Gloss Dark Bronze. The color is subtle and sharp - not flashy, just clean. It sits perfectly against the brick exterior and gives the home a presence it didn't have before. Standing seam is our go-to for homes like this because the concealed fastener system means no exposed screws to back out or leak over time.

The added insulation and upgraded venting are the part you don't see but absolutely feel. Better insulation keeps heat where it belongs in a Minnesota winter. Proper venting prevents moisture buildup in the attic and keeps the roof deck dry year-round. In a climate like Duluth's, those two things aren't optional - they're essential.

Metal roofing is one of the best long-term investments a homeowner can make in this region. It handles freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and ice damming far better than asphalt. This roof is built to go decades without the kind of maintenance headaches that come with traditional materials. That's the whole point.
