What it means to be "Local Roofing"
Local Roofing, a premier privately owned roof contracting company, is rooted deeply in the Midwest with locations in Fairmont, MN; Hayward, WI; and Albert Lea, MN. We are proud to staff full-time, local professionals who are intimately familiar with the regions they serve. This ensures not only a personalized approach with every roofing project but also contributes significantly to the local economy by providing employment opportunities right where they are needed the most.
At Local Roofing, we are committed to excellence in every facet of our services. From the choice of exceptional materials to skilled installations, our goal is to deliver superior quality that stands the test of time. We pride ourselves on maintaining a high standard of craftsmanship, ensuring that every roofing project is completed with precision and durability. Our dedication extends beyond the installation, as we provide unparalleled service long after the sale, solidifying our commitment to customer satisfaction and ongoing support.
Combining the strength and security of a larger roof contracting firm with the personalized service typically found in mom-and-pop shops, Local Roofing embodies the best of both worlds. Our customers enjoy the reassurance that comes with a well-established contractor while benefiting from the attentive, localized service that only a hometown business can offer. This unique blend makes Local Roofing the ideal choice for anyone looking to invest in top-notch roofing solutions handled with a personal touch.
Our Story
Local Roofing’s journey began in March 2018 when we opened our doors in Fairmont, MN. Starting from humble beginnings, our dedicated founder and a small team of passionate individuals worked tirelessly out of their homes and vehicles. Their unwavering commitment and hard work laid the foundation for what would soon become a cornerstone in the local roofing industry. This initial team’s determination not only set the standard for our company’s ethos but also paved the way for future growth and expansion.
The success of our Fairmont location fueled our expansion into Hayward, WI, where we opened our second location in September 2019. Serving the greater Hayward area, this new branch allowed us to bring our high standards and commitment to roofing excellence to an even wider audience. Our team’s relentless drive and the quality of our work quickly established Local Roofing as a trusted name in the region, mirroring the success and reputation we had built at our founding location.
In a significant milestone, July 2020 marked our acquisition of Folie Roofing in Waseca, MN, which we later relocated and rebranded to Albert Lea, MN in June 2023.
In January 2024, we expanded further with the acquisition of Local Lumber, formerly known as Amborn Lumber in Sherburn, MN. Now operating as Local Lumber Ace Hardware, this addition to the Local Roofing family allows us to better serve our communities with both high-quality installations and premium building materials.
Today, Local Roofing proudly employs a full-time staff of 26 members, alongside a vast network of highly trained subcontractors. Together, we continue to strive for excellence and innovation in the roofing industry, committed to improving and expanding our services. Our story is one of growth, resilience, and continuous commitment to providing top-quality roofing services to our local communities.
