Roofing Excellence: A&M Roofing in the Brainerd Lakes Area

A construction worker in a blue hoodie and gloves is installing a large sheet of plywood onto the wooden floor frame of a building under construction, surrounded by trees and building materials.

Roofs do more than top off a home — they’re quiet guardians against weather, time, and change. At A&M Roofing, serving the Brainerd Lakes region and the Twin Cities metro, the mission is to deliver roofing solutions that last, with integrity, clarity, and craftsmanship. In this post, we’ll walk through what A&M Roofing does, how it handles storms and insurance, its value proposition, and what homeowners should know when choosing a roofing partner. Think of this as a reference page — useful for prospective clients and those comparing roofing options in Minnesota.


Why Roofing is Paramount in Minnesota

Seasonal Extremes Demand Durable Roofs

Minnesota doesn’t give its roofs a break. From heavy snow loads to freeze-thaw cycles, brisk hail storms, and strong summer sun, your roofing system must withstand relentless stress. A&M emphasizes systems built for these extremes — not just quick fixes.

Storms Trigger Opportunity & Urgency

In many cases, major roofing projects come after storm damage. Wind, hail, falling branches, and ice dams all threaten roof integrity. A&M Roofing handles storm restoration and often works directly with insurers to smooth claim processes.

Roofing as a Long-Term Investment

A well-installed roof not only protects property but also stabilizes long-term costs: fewer leaks, less interior damage, better insulation performance, and higher resale value.


Core Services Offered by A&M Roofing

A&M Roofing handles a full spectrum of residential roofing needs, with a focus on quality, warranty, and client support. Below is a breakdown of their key services.

Roof Installation & Replacement

Whether you’re building new or updating an aging roof, A&M offers tailored roof systems using premium materials. They emphasize match-to-home aesthetics and performance.

Storm Damage Repair & Restoration

After storm events, A&M conducts damage assessments, emergency repairs, and full restorations. They seek to limit further damage and restore the roof’s structural integrity.

Insurance Claim Advocacy & Support

Roofing projects tied to storm damage often involve navigating insurance claims. A&M supports the documentation, adjuster negotiations, and claim filing to help homeowners maximize coverage.

Preventive Maintenance & Inspections

To extend roof life, A&M performs inspections and maintenance. Catching small issues early (e.g. worn flashing, granule loss, minor leaks) can prevent costly future repairs.

Project Showcases & Portfolio

Their project gallery showcases completed installations across Minnesota, helping prospects see real examples of their work.


What Makes A&M Roofing Distinctive

Deep Experience & Local Roots

With 30+ years of roofing in Minnesota, A&M brings regional insight — what works in Brainerd, Crow Wing, and metro climates — to every project.

They are family-owned and owner-involved, meaning you deal with committed stakeholders, not faceless middlemen.

GAF Certification & Warranty Access

A&M is a GAF Certified™ Contractor, a designation held by fewer than 5% of roofing companies. This status unlocks stronger warranty options, system-level integrity, and professional training backing.

When your roofer is GAF-certified, it means your roof is more likely to be installed to stringent standards — good materials, proper ventilation, flashing detail, and overall system compatibility.

Insurance-Savvy Approach

Roofing tied to storm claims can get complicated. A&M’s proactive claim support helps homeowners avoid undervalued settlements, missed line items, or denials due to poor documentation.

Focus on Quality + Transparency

From choosing materials to walking clients through each step, A&M emphasizes open communication. Their blog and guides (e.g. Your Guide to Roofing Services) help educate homeowners on how roofing works.
