Here at Craftsman Construction Services, LLC, we are your premier choice for roofing. We have provided high quality work and friendly customer service for years. Call us today!
"I got my roof done two years ago but the reason I'm writing this now is that I had a question about the roof and Steve sent over a crew member (Manuel) THE NEXT DAY to have a look. I always meant to write a review in the first place though so here's what I would have said two years ago and still say today: Steve and the crew were great to work with. Superb job. Readily available for any questions. Very reasonably priced. 100% would recommend and contract with them again. Unfortunately, I don't think that's going to happen because they did too good of a job lol."

Kaufman Roofing has been in business since 1930, working in the Twin Cities and surrounding neighborhood. With the peculiar nuances affecting roofs in the Twin Cities; varying roof types (slate, tile, wood shakes, metal, & flat), harsh weather conditions, and seasonal extremes, our experience is invaluable. Our philosophy hasn't changed since we started doing roofs in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding areas nearly a century ago.
"We had an extremely bad experience with Kaufman Roofing. We had a leak in our roof, and they thought it was most likely in our custom, built-in gutter system. They said they patched it up, but then it leaked the next time it snowed. In the meantime, they gave us a $30,000 estimate to have our entire gutter system, which is only 12 years old, completely replaced. Their estimator is a real bully and a horrible person to interact with. His name is Scott Wehrmeyer. He uses scare tactics, he talks over you, he’s impolite, and in our case, he didn’t even apologize for the fact that their patch didn’t even last one rainstorm. He just used it further evidence that we need to hire them to replace relatively new gutters. He never even got up on the roof to take a look at the gutter system or used a drone to take pictures or anything. He had one guy go up on a ladder in that one spot and take one picture and then say we need the entire system replaced. We eventually got it fixed with a reputable company. We got bids from several other roofing companies. Everyone else laughed at the idea that we would have a 12-year-old custom gutter system torn out and replaced for $30,000. They may have workers that do a good job, but I found Scott to be totally untrustworthy. I have never had to hang up in the middle of a conversation with anyone in my life, but I did with him. If I owned this company, I would not want him representing me. He’s a bully, he seems to be lazy, he doesn’t listen, he didn’t apologize, he just talked right over me and tried to scare me hiring him. Literally the total opposite of what any customer would hope for."

Three-tab shingles provide 15 to 30 years of service, with actual performance depending on installation quality, local weather patterns, and maintenance practices. Homes in regions with extreme temperature fluctuations or frequent storms may experience shorter lifespans, often closer to 15 to 20 years. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs can help maximize your roof's functional lifespan.
The cost difference stems primarily from material composition and manufacturing complexity. Three-tab shingles feature a single-layer design requiring less raw material than the multi-dimensional construction of architectural products. While this makes them more affordable initially, they offer less wind resistance and shorter warranty periods than their architectural counterparts.
Warning signals include curled or buckled shingles, bare spots where granules have disappeared, missing shingles, visible cracks, and granule accumulation in gutters. Inside your home, water stains on ceilings, light penetration through roof boards, or sagging sections indicate serious problems. Industry professionals recommend evaluation for replacement when roofs approach 20 years of age.
While technically possible in some situations, installing new shingles over existing ones is not recommended by roofing professionals. This approach adds considerable weight to your roof structure, prevents proper inspection of the underlying deck, and may create moisture issues. Many building codes limit homes to a maximum of two roofing layers, requiring complete removal before new installation if that limit has been reached.
Your local climate significantly impacts both installation requirements and long-term performance. Regions with severe weather conditions often require additional reinforcement measures that increase installation costs. Performance-wise, three-tab shingles have lower wind resistance ratings compared to premium options, making them less suitable for hurricane-prone regions. In hot climates, specialized reflective shingles may be recommended to improve energy efficiency.
