GAF CERTIFIED RESIDENTIAL INSTALLER
ROOF REPLACEMENT
Full residential roof replacement by a GAF Certified contractor. Tear-off, deck inspection, ice and water shield per Minnesota code, and a complete shingle system installed in most cases in one day.
Full Roof Replacement by a GAF Certified Contractor
Altus Roofing is a GAF Certified Residential Roofing Contractor. That certification matters because it means GAF manufacturer warranties are available on shingle systems David installs. It also means David has met GAF's installation training requirements, not just passed a marketing program sign-up.
What Every Altus Replacement Includes
Every residential replacement starts with a full tear-off. No layovers. Old shingles, underlayment, and damaged flashing come off the roof before anything new goes on. The deck gets a full inspection. Any soft spots, rotted sheathing, or moisture-damaged boards are replaced before ice and water shield goes down.
Minnesota Code and Ice Dams
Minnesota requires ice and water shield at all eaves and valleys. That minimum exists because Twin Cities winters produce ice dams, and ice dam water travels backward under shingles and reaches the deck if the barrier is not there. Altus installs to code as a starting point, not as a target to barely meet.
One Day for Most Homes
Most Plymouth and Maple Grove homes are completed in a single day. Crew shows up in the morning, tears off the old system, inspects the deck, installs the new system, and does a magnetic nail sweep of the yard and driveway before leaving. Written warranty from both GAF and Altus follows within the week. Call (612) 749-6778 to schedule your free inspection and estimate.
WHY ALTUS
WHY ALTUS FOR
ROOF REPLACEMENT
Altus holds GAF Certified Residential status, which means GAF material warranties are available on shingles installed by David, covering manufacturing defects on top of workmanship.
Ice and water shield is installed at all eaves and valleys per Minnesota code, the standard that prevents ice dam water infiltration from reaching the deck during winter freeze-thaw events.
David inspects the decking during every tear-off and replaces compromised boards before new materials go down, so the new roof is not built on a weakened substrate.
Most Plymouth and Maple Grove homes are completed in a single day, and a magnetic nail sweep is done before Altus leaves so the yard and driveway are clean.
