Premium Roofing Systems
Beyond standard asphalt shingles, Northern Forge installs three high-performance specialty roofing systems — each built for Minnesota's climate and long-term durability. Serving Ham Lake, Blaine, Coon Rapids, Andover, Lino Lakes, and the surrounding north metro.
Rubber & Membrane Flat Roof Systems
Flat and low-slope roofs require specialized materials and installation techniques. Northern Forge installs EPDM (rubber), TPO, and modified bitumen systems designed for the unique demands of flat roof structures — from residential additions and garages to multi-family buildings.
Rubber flat roofs are especially well-suited for Minnesota climates. EPDM membranes flex with temperature swings without cracking, resist UV damage, and can last 25–30 years with proper maintenance. TPO offers similar durability with superior energy efficiency thanks to its white reflective surface.
- EPDM (rubber) membrane roofing
- TPO single-ply membrane systems
- Modified bitumen roofing
- Flat roof repair and leak resolution
- Proper drainage and ponding solutions
- 25–30 year lifespan on quality installations
- Ideal for additions, garages, and low-slope structures
Natural Wood Shake Roofing
Cedar shake roofing brings natural warmth and classic character to any home. Milled from western red cedar, these wood shingles are a premium choice for homeowners who want distinctive curb appeal alongside real performance — especially on wooded, rural, or lakefront properties common throughout Ham Lake, Andover, and the surrounding north Minneapolis metro.
Cedar shake roofs are naturally insulating, helping regulate attic temperatures year-round. With proper installation and periodic maintenance, quality cedar shake can last 30–40 years in Minnesota's climate. Northern Forge installs hand-split and sawn shake with the underlayment, ventilation, and flashing systems needed to protect your investment.
- Hand-split & sawn cedar shake installation
- Pressure-treated & fire-retardant options available
- Proper ventilation & breathable underlayment systems
- Valley, ridge, hip, and chimney flashing
- Cedar shake repair & partial replacement
- 30–40 year lifespan with proper installation & care
- Natural insulation — improves energy efficiency
