The story

From custom homes in the Rockies to roofs in lake country.

Jimmy spent more than 30 years building custom homes in the Crested Butte area of Colorado. Most of that was framing, interior and exterior trim, and roofing. He did plumbing, electrical, painting and drywall along the way too. He has built houses from the framing up and put the roof on to finish them.

Crested Butte gets real winters: deep snow, hard freezes and a short building season. A roof up there has to be right the first time. That is the standard he brings to Minnesota.

Today Jimmy lives in Crosby with his four kids. He started Silver Loon Roofing here in 2026, and it is small on purpose. There is no sales team and no call center. You talk to Jimmy. He looks at your roof, writes your estimate and checks the work before the crew leaves.

Keeping it small keeps your price down. More of what you pay goes into materials and good work, not advertising and commissions. That is what we mean by Up North Roofing, Down-to-Earth Pricing.

How we work

What you can count on

Five things that hold on every job, from a small leak repair to a full tear-off on the Whitefish Chain.

The owner on every job

Jimmy looks at your roof, writes your estimate and checks the finished work himself. You never get handed off to a salesperson.

Straight talk

If a repair will fix it, we will not sell you a new roof. You get an honest scope and an honest price before you sign anything.

One standard of work

Same written scope, same cleanup and same final walkthrough, whether it is a year-round home in Crosby or a cabin on the Whitefish Chain.

We build roofs. We don't chase storms.

Storm chasers follow hail from state to state and need a signature by dinner. We live here and work the same lakes every year, so there is no pressure.

By the book on insurance claims

We follow Minnesota statute 325E.66 on every insurance job: no deductible rebates, written disclosures, and a 72-hour right to cancel.

Silver Loon Roofing did a solid job on my roof repair. The team arrived on time, explained the issue clearly, and completed the work efficiently. The quality looks good so far and they cleaned up everything afterwards. Overall it was a professional experience and I would consider using them again.
