Grand Forks Weather Challenges

Grand Forks’s location in the Red River Valley means roofs face significant challenges. With approximately 48 inches of annual snowfall, winter temperatures that drop well below zero, with temperatures dropping to -20°F or colder, and 35+ per year thunderstorm days bringing hail and high winds, roofing systems here work hard. The community rebuilt stronger after 1997 with improved infrastructure and flood protection – and quality roofing remains essential protection for every property. Our cedar shake roofing solutions are designed for these demanding conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions: Cedar Shake Roofing in Grand Forks

How long does a cedar shake roof last in Grand Forks?

With proper maintenance, cedar shake roofs typically last 30-40 years in our climate. Regular cleaning, treatment applications every 3-5 years, and prompt repair of damaged shakes are essential for longevity.

Is cedar shake appropriate for North Dakota’s climate?

Cedar can perform well here with proper installation and maintenance. The wood’s natural insulation helps with temperature extremes. However, our freeze-thaw cycles require diligent care. We help homeowners understand the maintenance commitment before choosing cedar.

What maintenance does a cedar roof require?

Cedar roofs need annual inspections, periodic cleaning to remove debris and prevent moss growth, treatment applications every 3-5 years, and prompt replacement of cracked or curling shakes. It’s more maintenance than asphalt or metal, but many homeowners find the beauty worth the effort.

Fargo Roofing & Siding was amazing to work with! I contacted their Fargo office after a wind storm left our home with missing shingles. Andy came out to assess the roof damage & worked with our insurance to get the roof re-shingled. Andy went above & beyond by also getting the insurance claim started on our siding damage! Andy made the process easy & their roofing crew not only did a great job on the install, but they left my yard in perfect condition! 10/10 recommend!

What a professional team to work with! It really is as simple as saying what, why, and how you will do the job and then doing it right. Excellent communication along the way. A very good job of cleaning up when they were finished. I would absolutely trust them to do work for us again, but hope that it never again becomes necessary.

Fargo Roofing and Siding have been absolutely amazing to work with! They have gone above and beyond to work with us. Even though we didn't have our insurance check in from the storm damage, because of the necessity of getting the roof repaired ASAP they fixed our roof even though they hadn't received the down payment yet! What type of company does that in the modern world, I couldn't' believe it! You guys are absolutely amazing!

They did a perfect job repairing our roof after the June 20th windstorm. They were extremely pleasant to work with, very professional and on top of things. It put me at peace knowing they are a company I could trust to do a great job to repair our roof. God's blessings to you guys and your business, continue to keep up the good work, and thank you for being folks of great integrity!

0 Stars — Extremely Disappointed with Fargo Roofing and Siding

Fargo Roofing and Siding roofed my house on June 13, and the experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish. During the project, they left part of my roof open while it was raining, which caused water spots on my brand new ceiling tiles. They did pay for that damage, but that was only the beginning of several serious issues.

The project consultant, Ryan, told me the house “was not structurally level” or that my “fascia boards were warped” when I pointed out that part of the roofline didn’t look right. When Mike, a manager, came out to inspect the problem, he discovered that the drip edge had been installed on top of planter holders instead of removing them or asking me to do so. This caused the drip edge to sit unevenly and made the roof appear crooked — something that should never have happened if proper care was taken.

They also left dark brown adhesive all over my white gutters, which took nearly two months to get repaired. On top of that, their delivery truck cracked my concrete driveway. When I sent them an invoice for the damage, they refused it and gave me just 16 hours’ notice before showing up and doing concrete work without my permission, even after they were told not to because I had other contractors scheduled who needed to use the driveway.

Throughout the process, I was met with excuses, poor communication, and a lack of accountability. Despite their many good reviews, my experience was the opposite. I would never recommend Fargo Roofing and Siding to anyone — I truly wish I could give 0 stars.

I wanted to share how happy I am with the work done by Fargo Roofing & Siding. They recently replaced the roof on my house, and I’m really pleased with everything.

The team was professional and got the job done quickly. The quality of their work was great.

I especially want to mention the crew. Brian, the crew chief, knew exactly what he was doing and made sure everything was perfect. Andy, the job supervisor, kept me updated throughout the project.

Overall, I’m really happy with Fargo Roofing & Siding and would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs roofing work.

Thanks,

Chad Rach
