Asphalt shingles protect more than the roof deck. They affect curb appeal, water control, storm resistance, gutter performance, siding condition, and the way the full property looks from the street. When shingles age, curl, lose granules, or take storm damage, the problem can spread into other exterior areas.
New Town Exteriors & Painters provides Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Twin Cities, MN, for residential and commercial properties that need roof replacement, roof repair, storm damage support, and clear roofing guidance. Our team can also review gutters, siding, windows, exterior painting, and interior damage when roof issues affect more than the shingles.
Asphalt Roofing For Homes & Buildings
Asphalt roofing remains a practical choice for many Twin Cities homes and commercial buildings. It offers a clean roof appearance, several color options, and performance when the system is installed with the right details. New Town Exteriors & Painters helps property owners review roof condition, shingle wear, storm marks, roof edges, gutters, siding, trim, and paint damage before recommending the next step.
Some roofs need targeted repair. Others need full replacement after age, hail, wind, or repeated leaks.
Because our company began with professional painting in 1987, we also pay attention to how the roof affects the finished exterior. A new asphalt roof should work with siding, trim colors, gutters, windows, and exterior paint, not look disconnected from the property.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Twin Cities, Minnesota
Twin Cities roofs deal with snow, freeze cycles, ice, hail, rain, wind, and summer heat. These conditions can wear down asphalt shingles and open weak points around valleys, edges, vents, and flashing.
New Town Exteriors & Painters provides Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Twin Cities, Minnesota, for homes, offices, managed properties, and business buildings. We help property owners compare repair, replacement, shingle style, roof color, and related exterior needs.
Some clients ask about GAF Timberline shingles when looking for a trusted asphalt shingle option. Others compare asphalt roof systems, steel roof shingles, metal roofing, or engineered composite roofing. We explain the practical differences so the choice fits the property, not only the product name.
Asphalt Roof Replacement
Asphalt roof replacement may be needed when shingles lose granules, curl, crack, blow off, leak, or show widespread storm damage. Older roofs can also reach a point where repeated repairs no longer make sense. New Town Exteriors & Painters inspects the roof before recommending replacement. We look at shingle condition, ventilation concerns, roof edges, gutters, siding marks, and signs of water entry.
For residential properties, roof replacement can improve protection and curb appeal. For commercial buildings, it can reduce maintenance calls and help protect interior spaces. In both cases, the new roof should fit the building style, budget, and long-term plan.
Asphalt Roof Repair
Asphalt roof repair can help when damage is limited to certain areas. Missing shingles, damaged flashing, nail pops, leak points, and storm marks may need focused repair before the issue spreads.
New Town Exteriors & Painters checks the repair area and nearby exterior conditions. A roof leak may connect to gutters, siding, windows, trim, or interior paint damage. That is why a roof review should not stop at the visible shingle problem.
A careful repair can extend roof life when the rest of the system still has good service left. However, we explain when replacement may be the smarter choice.
GAF Timberline Shingles
GAF Timberline shingles are a popular asphalt shingle option for property owners comparing roof products. They can offer a strong visual profile and a range of color choices for different building styles.
New Town Exteriors & Painters can help property owners decide whether GAF Timberline shingles fit the project. We review roof shape, exposure, budget, color goals, and the surrounding exterior.
A shingle choice should also match siding, gutters, trim, windows, and paint. Since our team handles those related services, we can help plan the roof as part of the full property appearance.
Best Asphalt Shingles For Any Property
The best asphalt shingles for one property may not be the best choice for another. A steep residential roof, a small commercial building, and a managed property may all need different priorities.
New Town Exteriors & Painters helps clients compare shingle color, profile, warranty, weather exposure, cost, and roof design. We also consider how the roof looks with exterior paint, siding materials, gutter color, and window trim. Some owners want a traditional look. Others want a stronger dimensional profile. Some may compare asphalt with steel roof shingles or metal roofing before deciding.
Our role is to help make the choice clearer.
Residential And Commercial Roof Planning
Residential and commercial roof projects have different concerns. A homeowner may care about curb appeal, storm protection, color, and long-term value. A commercial owner may care about tenant disruption, maintenance planning, leaks, and access.
New Town Exteriors & Painters helps both types of clients plan asphalt shingle roofing with clear steps. We review the roof condition, explain product options, and connect roof needs with gutters, siding, windows, and paint when needed.
That broader view helps owners avoid isolated decisions that may create more work later.
Why Choose New Town Exteriors & Painters
Shingles Matched to Property
New Town Exteriors & Painters does not treat every asphalt roof the same. We compare roof pitch, building style, color goals, weather exposure, and exterior finishes before recommending shingle options.
Roof Edges Receive Extra Attention
Many asphalt roof problems show up where shingles meet gutters, fascia, vents, valleys, and trim. Our team reviews those transition areas so the roof system is not judged by the field shingles alone.
Storm Wear Gets A Careful Look
Twin Cities hail, wind, ice, and snow can leave different roof signs. We inspect asphalt shingles, rooflines, gutters, siding, windows, and painted surfaces so owners understand the wider storm impact.
Exterior Colors Stay In The Plan
A new asphalt roof changes the look of the whole property. Our painting background helps connect shingle color with siding, trim, doors, gutters, windows, and exterior paint decisions.
Repair Or Replacement Is Explained Clearly
Some asphalt roofs need service in one area. Others need a full replacement plan. We explain the difference in plain language so homeowners and commercial owners can decide with less pressure.

FAQs
How long does asphalt shingle roofing last in Twin Cities weather?
Life span depends on shingle quality, installation, ventilation, storm exposure, roof pitch, and maintenance around gutters, flashing, and roof edges.
Are GAF Timberline shingles good for homes and buildings?
GAF Timberline shingles can be a strong option when color, roof shape, budget, and weather exposure match the property’s needs.
When should an asphalt roof be replaced instead of repaired?
Replacement may make sense when shingles are curling, leaking, losing granules, repeatedly damaged, or showing widespread storm wear.
Can asphalt shingles work on commercial buildings?
Yes. Asphalt shingles can fit some commercial buildings, especially sloped roofs, offices, managed properties, and smaller business structures.

Yes. Gutters, fascia, roof edges, siding, and drainage paths should be reviewed because water movement affects roof performance.

Yes. New Town Exteriors & Painters inspects shingles, gutters, siding, windows, trim, and painted surfaces after storm-related damage.

— New Town Exteriors & Painters, Est. 1987
Should I repair or replace my roof after storm damage?
Roof repair suits isolated shingle damage, small leaks, or minor flashing issues. Roof replacement is better when damage is widespread, the roof is old, or insurance covers storm damage over large areas.
Can ice dams damage roofing, gutters, and siding?
Yes. Ice dams can push water under shingles, loosen gutters, stain siding, and create interior leaks. Winter roof checks are especially important because ice, debris, and freeze-thaw movement can weaken several exterior areas at once.
When should Minnesota homeowners request a roof inspection?
Schedule an inspection after hail, heavy wind, ice dam leaks, missing shingles, or visible water stains. A professional inspection also helps before requesting a roof replacement quote or filing a storm damage insurance claim.
Does insurance cover storm damage to my roof or siding?
Usually, yes, if it was caused by hail, wind, or a storm event. We handle the full process from inspection, documentation, and working directly with your insurer from start to finish.
Do I need a contractor before calling insurance?
It helps to document the damage, open the claim properly, and have a qualified contractor inspect the roof, siding, gutters, and windows before the adjuster visits. This can help identify damage that may be missed during a rushed claim review.
What order should exterior renovation work follow?
Many exterior projects are best planned from the top down: roofing first, then windows, siding, paint, and gutters when needed. This helps prevent new materials from being damaged by later construction work.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Minnesota?
Most Minnesota homes run $10,000-$20,000 for asphalt shingles, depending on size, pitch, and materials. We provide a detailed, itemized quote after inspecting your home.
Are your crews in-house or subcontracted?
Nearly all trades are handled by our own in-house crews. One team, one standard of quality, one point of accountability across your entire project.
How do new windows help with energy bills?
Old windows are one of the biggest sources of heat loss in Minnesota homes. Replacement windows with insulated glass cut drafts, lower heating and cooling costs, and improve comfort year-round.
