Why Collins Is Different

The Right Roof for Your Home. Not the easiest one to sell you.

Most roofing contractors specialize in one material — usually whatever's quickest to install — and try to fit your home into what they already do. Collins doesn't work that way. We're a full-service GAF Certified roofing contractor, which means we install everything from premium architectural shingles to mechanically-seamed metal — and we walk you through which one actually fits your home, your budget, and how long you plan to live there.

You get honest options. You get a manufacturer-backed warranty on every installation. And you get a Northern Minnesota crew that's been building roofs in our climate for 15 years — not transplants who learned roofing somewhere warmer.

Most Popular Choice GAF Asphalt Shingle Roofing

The Proven Roof, Done Right. GAF Certified install. Lifetime warranty. Honest price.

GAF is the most-installed shingle in North America for a reason — and we're a GAF Certified Contractor, a credential fewer than 5% of roofers earn. That certification means we install to GAF's exact specifications, which is what unlocks their best warranties. A Collins-installed GAF roof comes with a Lifetime Limited material warranty, Class 4 impact-rated shingle options, and the StainGuard Plus algae-resistance system. Done right, an asphalt roof from Collins protects your home for decades — at a fraction of the upfront cost of metal.

The Last Roof You'll Ever Buy. Standing seam. Stone-coated steel. Metal shingles.

For homeowners who want a permanent solution, metal is the gold standard. A quality metal roof from Collins lasts 50+ years — three to four times longer than asphalt — handles Northern MN snow and ice exceptionally well, and most homeowners qualify for an insurance discount thanks to its Class 4 impact rating. We're one of the few metal roofers in the region who owns our own roll-forming equipment, so we can fabricate panels right at your property for a tighter, cleaner fit than factory-shipped panels.

1

Standing Seam Metal

Hidden fasteners, mechanically seamed connections, no screws through the panel. The longest-lasting and lowest-maintenance metal system on the market. Our specialty.

2

Stone-Coated Steel

The look of premium shingles with the longevity of steel. Class 4 impact-rated. Often a great fit for homes where standing seam isn't the right aesthetic.

3

Steel Shingles

Individual steel shingle panels that mimic traditional shingle appearance while delivering 50+ years of life. A strong middle-ground between asphalt and standing seam.

"We replaced our old asphalt roof with a beautiful metal roof from Collins Roofing and Sheet Metal. Jeff and crew were great to work with and the final product met our expectations 100%!"

★★★★★
"Communication was good from the initial quote through the end of the job, they took time to answer all of our questions, and the crew was friendly, efficient, and thorough. Probably the best contractor experience we've had in Duluth. And the roof is beautiful!"

★★★★★
"These folks did a good job on our roof. Over about four days they did a complete tear off and installation of a new metal roof. They had a good number of colors to choose from along with a few different patterns of roof. The installation crew worked long hard days and were always busy."

Your Questions Answered

What Homeowners Ask.

It depends on three things: how long you plan to stay in your home, your budget today, and your appetite for replacing the roof again in 15–20 years. Asphalt is the lower upfront cost and works great for homeowners on a tighter budget or planning to sell within a decade. Metal costs more upfront but typically lasts 50+ years and often comes with insurance discounts, making it the right call for homeowners staying long-term. We'll walk you through the math on both — no pressure either way.
GAF is North America's largest roofing manufacturer, and they only award their Certified Contractor status to roofers who meet rigorous standards on installation quality, customer service, and warranty performance. Fewer than 5% of roofing contractors nationally hold this credential. It matters because it's what unlocks GAF's best warranties — a non-certified contractor can't offer the same coverage on the exact same shingles. When we install a GAF roof on your home, you get the full manufacturer-backed warranty.
A properly installed GAF architectural shingle roof typically lasts 25+ years in Northern Minnesota's climate. A Collins metal roof lasts 50+ years and is often the last roof a home will ever need. Both come with manufacturer-backed material warranties and a Collins workmanship warranty on the labor.
If your roof has hail or wind damage, your homeowner's insurance may cover most of the replacement cost. We can take a look at your roof and tell you honestly whether you've got an insurance claim worth filing. We don't chase storm work — but if your roof legitimately qualifies, we'll help you navigate the process.
Most asphalt shingle replacements take 1–3 days. Metal roof installations typically take 3–7 working days depending on home size and complexity. We handle the entire job from tear-off through cleanup, and most projects start within 2–4 weeks of contract signing, weather permitting.
Every home is different, but most Collins asphalt shingle replacements fall between $12,000 and $25,000. Metal roof projects typically run $25,000–$65,000, with most landing in the $35,000–$50,000 range. We offer free on-site estimates with no obligation, and financing up to 84 months — so most homeowners find it works out to a comfortable monthly payment.
Yes. We partner with GreenSky for roofing financing — terms up to 84 months on approved credit. For most homeowners, that turns a roof replacement into a manageable monthly payment instead of a one-time hit. Subject to credit approval; ask us for the current rate and term options.
Every Collins roof comes with two warranties: a manufacturer-backed material warranty (Lifetime Limited on GAF shingles, 40-year on most metal systems) and a Collins workmanship warranty on the labor (up to 25 years on premium installations). You get the paperwork at completion. No fine print, no surprises.
