St. Cloud Roof Pros provides professional roof inspections in St. Cloud, MN for residential and commercial properties across central Minnesota. Our report is organized by termination rather than by slope, which sounds like a filing detail and is the whole point. Anybody can tell you the south plane has granule loss. The question worth paying for is the condition of the metal against your masonry.
Every joint gets its own entry. Where it is, what metal is there, how it is held, what the sealant looks like under a fingernail, and a rough year for when it will need attention. Chalky and firm is one answer. Chalky, shrunk back from the stone and showing a shadow line is a different one, and those two get different dates.
Then the deck and the attic, because an inspection that stops at the shingles is half an inspection. We look for daylight at the sheathing seams, rusted nail points, compressed or displaced insulation, bath fans dumping into the attic instead of outdoors, and frost on the underside of the deck in winter. Frost tells you more about a house than shingles ever will, and it is the one thing a camera on a pole cannot see.
Ventilation gets measured rather than described. Net free area at the intake, net free area at the exhaust, and whether the exhaust is actually continuous or has been cut into short useless pieces by a chimney. On a lot of these cottages it is the second one, and that is worth knowing before somebody sells you another length of ridge vent to sit above a stone stack.
We charge for a full written report and we do not charge to come look. That distinction matters: a free look is a free look, and if the answer is that your roof is fine for another six years, that is the answer, delivered in an email with photographs and no follow-up call afterward. Inspections that always find work are how this trade earned its reputation.
For a sale or a purchase, the report is written to be handed to somebody else. Plain language, dated photographs, remaining life given as a range with the reasoning printed underneath, and a clear line drawn between an actual defect and ordinary age. Nobody has to take our word for anything, which is why ours run longer than the one-page form most buyers get handed.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — surface-mounted stainless counterflashing on sawn granite ashlar, a stainless termination bar bedded in two-part urethane, ASTM C615 dimension stone held to four tenths of a percent absorption, step flashing woven course by course against a stone return, a saddle cricket framed behind an upslope masonry chimney, base flashing carried eight inches up a parapet wall — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve St. Cloud and nearby communities including Sartell, Sauk Rapids, Waite Park, St. Joseph.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof inspections
The difference between roof inspections that lasts and roof inspections that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with surface-mounted stainless counterflashing on sawn granite ashlar, a stainless termination bar bedded in two-part urethane, ASTM C615 dimension stone held to four tenths of a percent absorption, step flashing woven course by course against a stone return, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every St. Cloud job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in central Minnesota means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why St. Cloud Chooses St. Cloud Roof Pros
- ✓The tape measure goes to the walls before it goes to the ridge. Linear feet of roof-to-masonry moves a St. Cloud bid further than the shingle line ever does.
- ✓Sawn granite will not take a raked reglet, so counterflashing here is surface-mounted and serviceable. We build it that way on purpose and hand you the service interval in writing.
- ✓Money goes into starter, step flashing, valley metal and hip and ridge first, and into the field laminate second. A premium shingle over tired metal is a good-looking roof with the old leak still under it.
- ✓Coating asphalt shingles is not something we do, and whole-roof sealing is not something we sell. The only sealant worth buying on most of these houses is the few dozen feet where metal meets stone.
The standards behind roof inspections
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof inspections work we do in St. Cloud follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
