The Rise of Steel Roofing

Steel roofing is rapidly becoming the top choice for homeowners across the Twin Cities, and for good reason. At Evergreen Construction Company Inc., we’ve seen firsthand how steel roofs transform homes in Eagan, Wayzata, Maple Grove, Chanhassen, Woodbury, and beyond.

Steel roofs, especially those made from 24-gauge steel, are engineered to withstand Minnesota’s harshest weather—hail, wind, heavy snow, and rain. Unlike asphalt shingles, which may need to be replaced two or three times over 50 years, a steel roof can last half a century or more with minimal upkeep. This means one steel roof outlasts two or more asphalt roofs, saving you time, money, and hassle over the life of your home.

Switching to steel roofing often results in lower insurance premiums due to its superior resistance to fire, hail, and wind. If you’re replacing a storm-damaged roof with insurance funds, upgrading to steel is a smart investment that pays off in both immediate savings and long-term value.

Steel roofs reflect solar heat, reducing summer cooling costs by up to 25% and helping maintain a comfortable home year-round. Many steel roofing products are made from recycled materials and are 100% recyclable, making them an environmentally responsible choice.

We use CMG metals, offering a broad array of color options to match any architectural style. Our team rolls steel roofing panels on-site, which means no unsightly stacks of panels in your yard, faster installation, and a perfect fit for every home.

Proper installation is critical. We always use furring strips fand to prevent oil canning issues, and we exclusively recommend 24-gauge steel for maximum hail resistance—thinner steel can be damaged more easily. Oil canning (visible waviness in the metal) is a known risk, but our experienced installers know how to minimize it for a flawless finish.

In Eagan and Wayzata, our recent steel roof installations have delivered lasting protection and stunning curb appeal. Homeowners have reported quieter interiors, lower energy bills, and peace of mind knowing their roof will last as long as they own their home.
