LOCAL TO LAKE ELMO
A Town of Old Farms and New Builds
Lake Elmo is really two towns at once. Drive the county roads and you find farmhouses and estate homes sitting on acreage, some of them a century old, surrounded by the kind of open land the city protected for decades. Then head toward the Village or the newer developments off Highway 5 and it is a completely different picture. Homes built in the last ten years, tighter lots, and neighborhoods that did not exist when a lot of Lake Elmo residents moved here.
Those two sides of town call us for different reasons. The older homes are usually looking at a full replacement, often on a complicated roofline with decades of previous work to sort through. The newer builds are usually calling after a storm, because a roof that is eight years old should not be leaking. Roofing in Lake Elmo means being ready for both. That is the kind of thing you only learn by doing it here for two decades. Family-owned, Minnesota licensed, and here for the long haul.
HOW WE OPERATE
What Buildtec Brings to Lake Elmo
Four things you can count on, whether it is a small repair or a full tear-off.
We Know Both Sides of Town
Our crews have been working Lake Elmo long enough to watch the town change around us. We know the roads, the neighborhoods, and how Minnesota weather treats a roof out here. When you call, you get a family-owned company that has been around a while, not a call center.
Minnesota Licensed and Insured
Buildtec is fully licensed in Minnesota (BC694007), bonded, and insured. Permits get pulled, inspections get scheduled, and the paperwork gets handled without you having to think about it. That is the boring part of a roofing job, and it is also where a lot of contractors cut corners.
Quality Materials, Trusted Brands
We install GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, and Malarkey, from standard architectural shingles through their designer lines. On an exposed property with no windbreak, wind rating matters more than it does on a sheltered lot. We help you weigh that against the look you want.
Lifetime Workmanship Warranty
Our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty backs every roof we install, and the manufacturer covers the materials on top of that. Most warranty problems are not about coverage anyway. They are about whether the company is still around to honor the warranty. We have been here since 2006 and we plan to be here a lot longer.

ON THE JOB
Some of Our Work
Every project has its own story. Here are a few recent ones from around Lake Elmo.
Roof & Siding Replacement
Roof and siding replaced together on this Lake Elmo two-story. New architectural shingles paired with fresh lap siding, and every roof-to-wall transition rebuilt as one system instead of tied into someone else's old flashing. That is the advantage of doing both.
Roof Materials: Malarkey Legacy Brilliant Black
Siding Materials: LP SmartSide Clay
Storm Restoration - Roofing
A newer Lake Elmo home that took storm damage and needed a full replacement. Crew on site early, dumpster staged off the turf, plywood up against the siding, and tarps down over the beds before a single shingle came off. We handled the insurance claim start to finish.
Roof Materials: Owens Corning Duration Quarry Gray
Roof Replacement
A Lake Elmo home tucked back in the trees, with three dormers and a long roof face that needed careful work at every transition. Fresh architectural shingles in a charcoal blend, clean flashing around each dormer, and a finish that works with the brick and wood siding instead of fighting it.
Roof Materials: GAF Timberline HDZ Appalachian Sky
Roof Replacement
When the roof is past saving, replacement is the answer. Twenty to thirty more years of protection, backed by our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty.
Roof Repair
Not every problem is a new roof. Wind lift, missing shingles, a leak around the chimney, ice dam damage at the eaves. If a repair buys you ten more years, that is what we will recommend.
Storm Damage
Free inspection after any storm. We help handle the claim, meet the adjuster, and fight for what should be covered.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What Homeowners Ask Us
The age of your roof, extent of damage, and overall condition all play a role. After a thorough inspection, we'll provide an honest assessment, explain your options, and help you determine the best solution for your home.
Usually same day or within 24 hours. Lake Elmo is part of our regular east metro route, so it is a short trip for our crews. After a big regional storm the schedule fills up faster, but active leaks always jump the line.
Late spring through early fall is ideal for Minnesota roof work. Warmer temperatures let shingles seal properly and our crews aren't fighting snow or ice. That said, we install year-round when the situation calls for it. Emergency work doesn't wait for perfect weather.
Yes, if you want it. We work with financing partners offering a range of terms, and you can see options without affecting your credit score. Details are on our financing page.
