- Most steep-slope sanctuary re-roofs take 4–9 working days depending on square footage, pitch, decking condition and weather. Larger campuses with multiple buildings are phased over 2–6 weeks. The sanctuary is dry-in weather-tight every weekend.
- Yes — that is the default. We schedule tear-off so the sanctuary is fully weather-tight every Friday afternoon, with backup tarp/dry-in plans for surprise storms. Easter, Christmas Eve, Holy Week, weddings, funerals and major holidays are protected windows with zero loud work.
- If your roof has qualifying hail or wind damage, your commercial property policy typically pays full replacement at like-kind-and-quality, minus your deductible. Our 99% claim approval rate means most churches with documented damage replace the roof for the cost of the deductible alone.
- Yes — we routinely work with every major church and faith-based insurer including Brotherhood Mutual, Church Mutual, GuideOne, Philadelphia Insurance, Catholic Mutual, Markel, Travelers and more.
- Yes. We carry the rigging, articulating lifts and OSHA-certified steep-slope crews required to safely access steeples 60+ feet in the air. We replace cross assemblies, re-flash louvers, install custom-bent copper drip caps and re-skin the entire steeple in matching material.
- For most sanctuaries: TAMKO Heritage, Owens Corning Duration or GAF Timberline HDZ architectural asphalt for best cost-per-year. For longest service life on simple geometry: standing-seam steel or aluminum. For historic sanctuaries needing the slate aesthetic: DaVinci or Brava synthetic slate.
- Yes. We install TPO and EPDM membrane systems for low-slope additions, with proper insulation, tapered systems for positive drainage, and full perimeter detailing.
- Yes — Minnesota Class A residential and commercial license #BC691061, $2,000,000 general liability, full Minnesota workers' compensation on every crew member. Certificates of insurance are provided to your church administrator before mobilization, with the church named as additional insured.
- Two warranties: (1) MBE's Lifetime Workmanship Warranty, transferable to your next building owner; (2) the manufacturer's material warranty — typically 30–50 years non-prorated on TAMKO, Owens Corning Platinum or James Hardie Elite systems. Both are documented in writing at project closeout.
- Always. Every project includes a written protection plan: perimeter tarping around stained glass, dust barriers in organ chambers and historic interiors, debris netting, and dedicated walking paths to keep crews off sensitive areas.
- Yes. Every MBE proposal is line-item and fixed-price — material brand, color, underlayment, ice-and-water coverage, drip edge, flashing, ventilation, disposal and permits all itemized. No vague allowances. Trustees can take the document straight to a vote.
- Yes. We pull the permit in your jurisdiction, schedule the final inspection, and provide signed final inspection documentation for your records. Permit fees are itemized on the proposal.
- We prepare and submit Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) applications in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Stillwater and any other Twin Cities historic district. HPC review is built into the production timeline so you don't lose your construction window.
- Yes. We provide a project reference list of recent church work in the Twin Cities metro on request, including pastor or facility director contact (with their permission).
- Decking replacement is priced per sheet on the original proposal, signed in advance. There are no surprise change orders — if we find rot, you get a photo, a written change order at the contracted per-sheet price, and a signature before we replace.
- Yes. For insurance-funded projects we typically only invoice as funds are released by the carrier. For non-insurance capital projects we can structure milestone payments and accept ACH, check or credit card. Financing through Synchrony and other partners is available on request.
- Same-week — and often same-day — for emergency tarping or dry-in after a hail or wind event anywhere in the Twin Cities metro. Our Minneapolis, Eagan and St. Croix Falls offices keep us within an hour of nearly every Twin Cities church.
- Yes. As a James Hardie Elite Preferred contractor we install Hardie siding, K-style and half-round gutters, commercial windows and full exterior packages — all coordinated under one PM, one schedule, one warranty.
- Our installation crews are dedicated in-house teams — badged, background-checked, OSHA-trained, and assigned to a senior project manager. We do not staff church projects with anonymous day-labor subs.
- Call (612) 750-6051 or request a free inspection online. A senior project manager will meet you on-site within the week, perform a drone-assisted roof inspection, document the building, and follow up with a written, line-item proposal ready for your trustees or building committee.
