Roofing Contractors in Surrey, ND

Surrey grew by about 45 percent between 2010 and 2020, and that kind of growth shows up on the roof. Many homes went up in a short span, so a lot of Surrey houses now have shingles that are the same age and wearing out on the same schedule. We help Surrey homeowners figure out where their roof stands before the next hail season.

A small town that grew fast

Surrey sits about 8 miles east of Minot along US 2 and the BNSF main line. The town was started by Great Northern Railway officials in 1900, but much of what you see today is much newer. Newer homes are great in a lot of ways. The catch is that many were built with whatever shingle the builder picked, and builder grade shingles do not always hold up to North Dakota wind and hail as long as people expect.

When the whole street needs roofs at once

Once one roof on the block gets replaced, the rest usually follow within a few years. That is not a sales pitch. It is just what happens when houses are built in the same season and take the same storms. Here is what we look for on a newer Surrey home:

• Shingle tabs lifting or creasing after high wind
• Granules piling up in the gutters or at the downspouts
• Soft spots near valleys where two roof planes meet
• Bath fans or kitchen vents that dump moist air into the attic
• Thin attic intake ventilation, which leads to frost and ice dams

If the roof is close to done, a full architectural shingle roof replacement runs $9,000 to $22,000 for most homes. If it still has life left, a single point roof leak repair is usually $350 to $1,400.

Upgrading when it is your turn

A newer home is a good time to step up from the shingle that came with the house. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles add about $1,100 to $1,900 on an average home and hold up better when hail rolls through between May and September. Every roof we put on gets ice and water shield past the interior wall line and synthetic underlayment across the full deck.

Siding takes a beating from the same storms. If hail cracked your siding along with the roof, a full re-side runs $12,000 to $30,000, and our siding replacement work can be quoted with the roof so the job is done in one go.

Ice dams in newer attics

It surprises people when a ten or fifteen year old house gets ice dams. It happens more than you would think. Can lights, bath fans and attic hatches leak warm air into the attic, and blown insulation can cover the soffit vents. With no fresh air coming in at the eave, the roof deck warms up, snow melts and refreezes at the edge.

Minot averages about 38 inches of snow a year, and Ward County roofs are built for a 35 psf ground snow load, so there is plenty of snow to work with. On every Surrey roof we check that air can move from the soffits to the ridge. Often a few baffles and clear vents fix a problem that new shingles alone would not.

If you see icicles thick as your arm or brown stains on the ceiling near an outside wall, give us a call before spring melt starts. Catching it early is far cheaper than fixing soaked drywall and insulation later in the year.

Acreages and shops around Surrey

Not everyone in the Surrey area lives in town. Plenty of homes sit on acreages with a detached garage, shop or pole building. We can quote the house and outbuildings together. Exposed-fastener steel at $12,000 to $22,000 is a common pick for a shop, while standing seam runs $24,000 to $45,000.

Permits work differently depending on where you are. In Ward County, townships and cities that have handed permitting over to the county get building permits through the county Tax Equalization Office. You can read the details on the Ward County building permits page, and we will check which office covers your address before work begins.
