Providing Peace of Mind Since 1932Asphalt shingles remain the top roofing choice for homeowners across the Twin Cities, from Minneapolis to St. Paul, and we see why every day on the job. Asphalt gives you an affordable roofing system that holds up against the freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow load that define a Minnesota winter, plus the hail that arrives most summers.
As a leading provider of asphalt roofs in Minneapolis, Garlock-French Roofing has been in business since 1932. With many styles, colors, and textures available, we have asphalt shingles that are right for your home. Our crews size and flash every roof correctly, then finish with proper attic ventilation so it lasts for decades while boosting your home’s appearance.

As an expert asphalt shingle installer in Minneapolis and St. Paul, we have customers every day who choose this durable material, and for good reason. Asphalt shingles cost less upfront than most other roofing materials, including metal and cedar, and most installations wrap up in a day or two rather than a week. When repairs come up later, we patch or replace a damaged section of asphalt shingle roofing without tearing into the whole system.
Homeowners can pick from dozens of colors and profiles, from classic three-tab shingles to dimensional architectural styles that add depth and shadow lines to a roofline. Modern asphalt shingles resist wind uplift and fire damage, and many lines include algae-resistant granules to reduce streaking in humid summers. Class 4 impact-rated options withstand Minnesota hail better than standard shingles.
Our GAF Master Elite certified crews handle every asphalt roof installation the same way, starting with a full tear-off of the old shingles and a check of the decking underneath for rot or soft spots. We install ice and water shields along eaves, valleys, and any roof penetrations, before the shingles go down, since ice dams cause more Minnesota roof damage than any other single issue.
We nail each shingle to manufacturer specs and finish with proper ridge venting so the attic breathes correctly through summer heat and winter cold. Homeowners across the Twin Cities count on this consistency for every asphalt roofing installation we complete.
Minor issues, like a handful of curling or missing shingles or a lifted ridge cap, turn into leaks fast if a homeowner leaves them unaddressed through a Minnesota winter. Our asphalt roof repair service handles storm damage and worn flashing without asking every homeowner to commit to a full tear-off. If a storm has already left marks on your roof, our storm damage team can inspect the full extent of it and walk through repair or replacement options before your insurance deadline passes.
A small asphalt shingle leak that reaches the attic can spread to insulation and drywall fast, and a leaking roofline also puts stress on the gutters below it, so we flag any related issues during every repair visit. Homeowners know they can rely on our asphalt roof repair services in Minnesota to protect their property.
We install asphalt shingles from leading manufacturers like GAF, CertainTeed, Atlas, and Malarkey, giving Twin Cities homeowners numerous choices, including premium designer lines that mimic the look of cedar or slate for those wanting a higher-end profile. Each manufacturer offers dozens of colors, so matching your existing siding and trim rarely becomes a problem.
Homeowners weighing asphalt against composite shingles can read our breakdown of switching from asphalt to composite for a side-by-side look at the tradeoffs. If a full roof replacement makes more sense than a repair, our team can walk through that option during your estimate as well.
We install and repair asphalt shingles in Minneapolis and throughout the Twin Cities metro, including:
