Roof Replacement Before & After Photos

Vita Roofing recently provided a detailed roof replacement quote for Paul, a homeowner in the beautiful Lake Lida area of Pelican Rapids, MN. During the consultation, our knowledgeable representative, Travis, walked Paul through the entire process, from inspection to installation, ensuring he felt confident and informed every step of the way. After evaluating the roof’s age and condition, our team recommended a full replacement using IKO Dynasty Shingles, known for their exceptional durability, Class 3 impact resistance, and built-in algae protection. These high-performance shingles are designed to withstand the harsh lakefront winds and fluctuating Minnesota weather, making them a perfect fit for Paul’s home.

When summer arrived, our crew began by carefully removing the old roofing materials and inspecting the decking for signs of rot or water damage. Any compromised sections were replaced with new, high-quality decking before we installed a synthetic underlayment and ice & water shield, ensuring an added layer of protection against moisture and harsh elements. The IKO Dynasty Shingles were then expertly installed, providing long-lasting strength and beauty that complements the scenic lakeside setting.

By the time the project was complete, Paul couldn’t have been happier with the transformation. His home now features a premium roofing system built to last for decades, offering both peace of mind and curb appeal. As one of the most trusted roofing companies in the greater Pelican Rapids area, Vita Roofing was proud to deliver another successful project, and another delighted homeowner who’s eager to recommend us to friends and neighbors around Lake Lida.

Peter recently contacted our team after noticing their aging asphalt shingle roof was showing signs of wear. The roof had begun to lose its protective granules, and a few shingles were curling and cracking, common indicators that a replacement was necessary. After a thorough inspection, we recommended a full roof replacement to restore both the beauty and durability of the home.

Our crew got to work by carefully removing the old roofing system down to the decking, inspecting the wood underneath, and replacing any weak or damaged areas. We then installed a brand-new Class 4 impact-rated asphalt shingle system designed to withstand harsh weather while enhancing curb appeal. Every step was completed with precision, and cleanup was handled thoroughly, leaving the property spotless.

The finished roof not only looks stunning but also provides long-lasting protection and peace of mind. With the new shingles in place, the homeowner can feel confident knowing their home is safe from leaks, storms, and future damage. This upgrade also adds value to the property while boosting energy efficiency and curb appeal for years to come.

In late spring, Vita Roofing arrived at Kevin’s home in Detroit Lakes, MN, to begin the EPDM roof replacement process. The crew started by pressure-washing the existing roof surface to remove dirt, old adhesives, and built-up debris. After the roof was completely cleaned and dried, the current edge metal was carefully removed, and the deck was inspected to ensure it was structurally sound. Once cleared, a ½-inch HD board was installed across the surface, creating a smooth and stable foundation for the new membrane system.

With the base properly prepared, the crew unrolled the EPDM membrane and allowed it to relax and settle into place. A high-strength bonding adhesive was applied to both the HD board and the underside of the membrane. Once the adhesive became tacky, the EPDM was carefully laid into position and smoothed to eliminate air pockets or wrinkles. Screws and plates were used to mechanically secure the system, ensuring long-term stability. Special attention was paid to roof penetrations, where properly sized penetration flashings were installed to create watertight seals around vents, pipes, and any other protrusions.

Once the membrane and flashings were in place, new edge metal was installed around the perimeter to complete the system and give the roof a clean, finished appearance. Before leaving the job site, Vita Roofing conducted a full walk-through with Kevin, inspecting seams, flashings, and terminations for quality and performance. The result was a seamless, uniform EPDM roof built to withstand Detroit Lakes’ changing weather and harsh winters, offering Kevin long-term protection, efficiency, and peace of mind.

When Carl, a homeowner in Frazee, MN, reached out to Vita Roofing for a roof inspection, he knew his home deserved expert attention. His 2-story, 2,800 square foot home was protected by an asphalt roof that was nearly 20 years old, well past the point where Minnesota’s extreme weather can begin to cause costly issues. During our thorough exterior inspection, our team identified significant wear and deterioration that could quickly turn into leaks, water damage, and expensive repairs if left unaddressed. Acting early was the key to protecting Carl’s home and avoiding future headaches.

Our experienced roofing specialist walked the entire property and provided a clear, professional assessment, recommending a solution built for long-term performance. We suggested IKO Nordic Shingles, one of the top Class 4 impact-resistant shingles in the roofing industry. Designed to withstand harsh wind, hail, and seasonal extremes, these shingles deliver exceptional durability, curb appeal, and peace of mind. Best of all, the new roofing system is backed by Klaus Roofing’s 20-year warranty, ensuring trusted craftsmanship and lasting protection. This upgrade not only strengthens Carl’s home but also increases its overall value and reliability for years to come.
