Questions
Why has metal roofing become more popular recently?
Metal roofing popularity has increased due to rising material costs, increased hailstorm insurance claims, and improved durability. It now accounts for 17% of residential installations nationwide, up from 5% five years ago.
How much does a metal roof cost compared to asphalt?
Metal roofs cost 2.5-3 times more than asphalt replacements. While asphalt roofs install in 1-2 days, metal roofs require 4-6 days but offer longer lifespan and better protection against Minnesota weather.
Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage?
Yes, we assist with insurance claims for hail damage and storm repairs. Our team advocates for homeowners, as demonstrated by successful claims resulting in full roof replacements and siding repairs for multiple customers.
What energy efficiency solutions do you offer?
We integrate insulation upgrades, attic ventilation improvements, and air sealing with exterior projects. These solutions address heat loss, moisture buildup, and rising energy bills through a comprehensive building science approach.
Are financing options available for home improvement projects?
Yes, we offer flexible financing options with approved credit to help homeowners complete exterior remodeling projects of any size while maintaining quality standards.

Report
We had been plagued by ice dams and water intrusion for all 19 years we've lived in this house. Quarve's work would make the fourth time we had to re-roof the back of our house following several other contractors. Quarve partnered with Houle insulation and coordinated schedules so they could remove the roof, allow the insulation work to be done and re-roof all in the same day. They removed some whirly vents and understood the very complex construction of our multi-pitched roof.
They took pictures along the way as evidence of the work that was done. Rob, the owner was on site and everyone I came into contact with was very professional. I was confident things were finally resolved after they did the work, but here we are in January and it's like a dream come true. no ice dams! It is such a relief to allow us to sell this house with confidence that we've resolved the LONG standing issues. I plan to use them for window replacements too. HIGHLY recommend!

This was a top notch company as they arrived on time, explained what was planned for the day, did a great job cleaning up any debris, and were always pleasant and worked hard. Also I recommended the company to other friends who used them and were pleased with results. I have had no problems whatsoever with the new roof. Service: Roof installation

We are pleased with the overall workmanship in regard to the replacement of the roof shingles, skylights, and siding on the second story. The minor concerns we had after the job was completed were addressed adequately and in a timely manner. The entire crew was hard working and efficient. Communications with both Pat and Rob were constant, helpful, and explanatory throughout the process as far as the daily progress and next steps in completing the project.
No major issues to report other than the job took a bit longer than we had expected. And because of the late time frame (early November) we were concerned about the use of caulk/paint and the ability for them to dry properly. It was fortunate that the guys had relatively good weather through to completion.
