In the past financing took forever and involved loads and loads of paperwork. But now, an Atlanta-based finance tech company, GreenSky has single-handedly modernized the credit and financing process for homeowners. And this has made us finance people all excited!
As the weather starts to turn cooler and the short days give way for longer cozy nights, our household begins to look with great anticipation towards the season ahead.
With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays this time can pass by us too quickly if we don’t intentionally set time aside to remember what this season stands for. Taking the time to give back and invest in our community is something we like to do as an entire family.
Looking for ways to get your whole family involved in the holiday season? Here are two ideas for you...
You know it’s time to get a new roof, new siding, or new windows. But there is one major thing holding you back. Money.
But how will I pay for this home repair?
We get it.
As a family-owned and run roofing company we understand how intimidating it can feel to say yes to a major home repair with a substantial price tag.
This month we are excited to get this certificate from Better Business Bureau celebrating our 40 years as a accredited business through BBB.
We love a good certificate, but more importantly, we love what we do. And we love who we do it for—you. We take great pride in helping hardworking homeowners and commerical businesses receive professional roofing services.
If you've worked with us before, we'd greatly appreciate you giving us a review either on our Google+ Business page or on BBB. That will keep us moving towards another 40 years of roof contracting in the greater Twin Cities area.
Thanks again for all your support.
When you give Grussing Roofing a call and ask us to come out to give your roof, sidding, gutters, or windows a free inspection, we're looking for all sorts of different things.
For this Minneapolis home, Guy noticed some poor workmanship from the original roofing contractor when they installed the roof back in the 1970s. Some of this poor workmanship has lead to leaks and other damages. You can see for yourself how the shingles are cracking and falling off as well as some buckling in the shingles.
Takes a moment and walk around this roof with Guy.
If you're concerned about your roof or think it might be time to have a roofing contractor take a look—give us at call at 952.935.0557. We're committed to serving the greater Minneapolis and St. Paul neighborhoods with professional and honest roofing advice and services.

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, asphalt roofing shingles, for both new homes and roof replacements, make up almost two-thirds of the roofing market in the United States. One report from the EPA estimates that each year in the US the tear-off shingle waste and installation scraps weigh in around seven to ten tons. That’s the same weight as male elephant!
If asphalt shingle waste isn’t recycled properly, you can almost always guarantee it’s headed straight in the nearest landfill.
The encouraging news is asphalt shingles hold a great potential for recycling. Since asphalt roofing shingles are generally kept separate from other kinds of waste, they are easy to isolate and bring to the correct recycling plant.
At Grussing Roofing, when we replace an asphalt shingle roof on a home or commercial property, we take care of bringing all the asphalt shingle waste directly to the recycling plant. We choose to work with the guys at Dem-Con Companies—a locally owned and family operated recycling and waste processor in Shakopee, MN.
We trust Dem-Con Companies because we know they are committed to meeting the strict quality demands for recycling asphalt roofing shingles. Plus, they are just great to work with!
If you have more questions about how we take care of recycling your old roof shingles, be sure to ask us over the phone or in-person during a project estimate.
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, we’d like to take a few minutes to reflect and give thanks. In particular, how thankful we are to run Grussing Roofing together as a local family-owned business!
Have you ever wondered how Guy and I got into this roofing business? Well, here’s your chance!
Guy learned his committed and honest work ethic from his hard-working dad who was his first teacher of all things roofing. Guy first started working on roofs back in 1985. He was the one who went around and picked up debris at the job sites— the grunt work. When he was in college at Minnesota State University Mankato (back then we called it Mankato State), he spent the summers working on the hot-tar roofs for commercial jobs.
After college, Guy left roofing to explore the world of sales – first selling cars and had a successful career selling Caterpillar forklifts. But after a huge hail storm in 1998 in the Minnetonka area of the Twin Cities, Guy came back to lend a hand with his dad’s roofing company. It’s safe to say, Guy’s been walking around on roofs ever since!
After all these years, Guy has seen just about every aspect of roofing, but one thing has stayed the same. His absolute favorite part of this work is meeting with people and getting to take care of whatever needs their home has!
Our grounding vision for our business is to take care of our customer’s needs, do an outstanding job, and exceed expectations. We’re really proud of our roofers. They are hard workers and care about the job they do. I always tell people that we have the very best roofers around — we have to remind them to make sure they stop and eat!
Guy and I often remind ourselves that we are working for our Lord Jesus Christ, this is His business, and we want to be the very best stewards we can!
Since we’re a locally-owned roofing company, we’ll be here down the road should you ever need immediate help with any storm damage.
As for me, my experience is in business, which means I get to handle the financial aspects of Grussing Roofing. One of the many blessing of being a business owner is the flexibility to set my own schedule. Just this past month, I spent the entire day on a field trip with our daughter's fifth grade class. Kids have a sneaky way of growing up way too fast, so getting to experience the everyday moments is absolutely priceless!
After all of that, I’m still able to find time to volunteer at Bible Study Fellowship in the children’s program as well as leading a Mom’s in Prayer group where we spend time together lifting our kids and schools up in prayer.
Life is full and I am truly grateful!
We are so very thankful for you, our friends and clients. Thanks for trusting us to work on your home and thanks for recommending us to your friends. You’re words of confidence matter so much to us!
From our family to yours, have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!
After we finish a commercial roofing job, the manufacturer who sells the roofing materials we installed will come by the job location, get up on the roof, and inspect the quality of our work. Since the manufacturer’s roofing materials come with a long and trustworthy guarantee, the manufacturer wants to see if the roofing contractor installed their material correctly.
For a St. Louis Park commercial roofing project, we used GAF’s roofing materials. Once we finished up, GAF came by to complete their own inspection of our workmanship. A few days later, they sent us this:
GAF gave our Grussing Roofing team a double thumbs up! This certificate is only presented to roofing contractors who demonstrate the highest quality roof installation.
Whether we're doing commercial or residential roofing projects, we're committed to giving our customers the very best!
