Jay’s & Deborah’s St. Paul Metal Roofing, Insulation, & LeafGuard® Brand Gutter Project

When it comes to a new roof replacement, one of the biggest decisions the homeowners we work with have to make is whether they prefer metal or asphalt. One of Jay and Deborah’s neighbors recently had a residential metal roofing project completed by us in St. Paul. Admiring the final outcome, they reached out to us to understand more. Hear how we were able to improve functionality and curb appeal during this exterior home remodel.

Metal Roof Installation

After discussing details like cost of roof replacement and how metal roofing fares in Twin Cities winters, they opted to have their Ramsey county stucco home updated with a new metal roof. Their previous asphalt roof was a gray hue that played well with the home’s red brick and light gray stucco siding. Keeping with a similar color palette, they selected a charcoal gray metal roof. This color consistently ranks as a top seller with the roof manufacturer. In addition to their beauty, a metal roof installation wins favor with Twin Cities homeowners because they do not warp, curl, split, flake, peel, or burn. Insurance companies recognize their merits and often award discounts to homeowners with metal roofs due to their fire resistance. In order to curtail snow from sliding off the roof and causing injury, snow bars were installed on the section of roof above the front entry.

Roof & Attic Insulation Installation

Because roofing and insulation go hand-in-hand, the home’s attic was evaluated and we determined that getting a blown-in fiberglass insulation installation could improve the home’s energy efficiency.

Seamless Gutter Installation

The final component of the project was completing LeafGuard® Brand Gutters installation. Installed in Coal Gray, they are the perfect accompaniment to the new roof and provide the ambiance of crown molding. LeafGuard®’s oversized design was lab-tested to handle 32 inches of rain per hour-over three times the record rainfall ever recorded by the U.S. Weather Bureau. Even better, they’re guaranteed never to clog, or we’ll offer a complimentary cleaning.

Lindus Construction Reviews From St. Paul Homeowners

"Lindus has been our go-to construction business for our gutters, deck, & 2 storm repair jobs, one with significant late season damage. They managed to fit us into their schedule to get our roof & deck repaired before winter set in. Their people are reliable & easy to work with, especially when storm insurance is involved. While they may be a bit more expensive, they use high quality materials & stand behind their work. You won't be disappointed!"

"A year ago we had a large tree limb fall and damage the LeafGuard® Gutter of our garage but had decided to let it go. When Lindus was putting on our neighbor’s roof and gutters, we wanted to take advantage of their presence and get ours fixed. Gabe, Hayden, and Josh were helpful and professional in timing our replacement to coordinate with the project next door and did a great job for us."

"If there were 6 stars, that’s what I would give them. Very professional and precise workmanship. Even went above and beyond adding trim where previous install was lacking. It was great to have direct employees also. No contractors to try and chase down if something wasn’t quite right. Lindus is A++"

"The team that installed the window listened to the concerns and observations that were made to them and worked to resolve them to our satisfaction. We felt like we were part of the team and that our input mattered."

"We purchased a new back door and storm door that were installed in late December. The storm door had not been shutting properly, and Wayne from Lindus arrived to fix it. Not only did Wayne correct that problem, he thoroughly went through each function of the door, hinges, handle, and shutting device. In some cases, he replaced the 3-month-old parts because they weren’t working properly. By the end of his service call, we felt like we got a completely improved door from the manufacturer. In today’s service world, it is very rewarding as a customer to see an employee of a company care so much about making it right for the customer."
