Before & After Photos

When the roof on a commercial building in Spiritwood, North Dakota, began showing significant signs of wear, Perry, the property contact, knew it was time to find a long-term solution. After years of battling harsh North Dakota weather, the aging flat roof had reached the point where repairs were no longer practical. Perry reached out to the trusted team at Vita Roofing for a professional assessment. Following a detailed inspection, the recommendation was a full EPDM roof replacement designed to provide reliable protection and improved insulation. The project began with a complete tear-off of the existing roofing system, with crews carefully removing the old materials and loading them into 20-yard dumpsters to keep the worksite organized and efficient.

With the roof deck exposed and inspected, the installation of the new roofing system began. The team installed a tapered Poly ISO insulation system designed to achieve an R-35 rating, helping improve both drainage and energy efficiency. Low-rise foam adhesive secured the insulation boards, while screws and plates provided additional mechanical fastening. Once the insulation was in place, the EPDM membrane was rolled out and fully adhered using bonding adhesive to create a smooth, watertight surface. Flashings and primer were applied to key areas, and the parapet walls were fully adhered to ensure continuous waterproofing. The finishing touches included cap metal with a ¼-inch taper and 1-inch fill reaching X+10 on the main roof section, completing a long-lasting flat roofing system built to withstand the extreme conditions common in North Dakota.

When a recent storm swept through Wimbleton, ND, Gary, a local homeowner, noticed a large section of his asphalt roof had been torn away, leaving part of the roof decking exposed. To make matters worse, a long piece of fascia and gutter was also hanging loose and in need of repair. Concerned about the potential for further damage, Gary contacted the trusted professionals at Vita Roofing for a prompt inspection.

Upon arrival, our roofing team conducted a thorough assessment and determined that, fortunately, the storm damage was limited to one area of the roof. Our experts quickly completed the necessary repairs, resecured the fascia, and ensured the roof was watertight once again. We also explained to Gary that while a full roof replacement wasn’t needed at this time, the age of his roof means a replacement may be wise within the next 3–5 years to maintain long-term protection.

Thanks to Vita Roofing, Gary’s home is once again safe, secure, and ready to handle whatever weather North Dakota brings next.

Homeowners across the Fargo, ND area know how brutal Midwest weather can be on a roofing system, especially on older homes. John’s historic 1909 home had endured decades of hail, heavy snow, high winds, and driving rain that slowly wore down the aging asphalt shingles. After noticing worsening roof damage and signs of deterioration, John contacted Vita Roofing for a professional roof inspection and honest recommendation. The experienced roofing team completed a full exterior assessment and documented the storm-related wear that had compromised the integrity of the roof over time.

After reviewing the inspection findings with John, Vita Roofing recommended upgrading the home with a durable Standing Seam Metal Roof designed to withstand North Dakota’s demanding climate. The project began with a complete tear-off of the old asphalt shingles and underlayment. The crew carefully tarped the property to protect the landscaping and surrounding areas while debris was removed. To maximize long-term performance, Owens Corning Titanium High Temp Ice and Water Underlayment was installed before the detailed installation of seamless metal panels, metal trims, fasteners, rivets, and penetration flashings.

The new standing seam metal roofing system completely transformed the appearance and protection of this historic Fargo-area home. With enhanced durability, energy efficiency, and superior resistance to harsh weather, John now has a low-maintenance roofing solution built to last for decades. Vita Roofing continues to provide trusted metal roof replacement services throughout Fargo, ND, and the surrounding communities for homeowners looking for long-lasting storm protection and modern curb appeal.

This home, built in 1993, required a complete roof replacement. Once a roof is aged over 30 years, this is generally around the time a roof needs a facelift. After receiving a phone call from the property owner, we offered a free, no-obligation roof estimate from the professional roofing contractors at Vita Roofing. Our trusted salesman provided several recommendations for the best roofing options. After careful consideration, Ryan decided to proceed with a full shingle replacement, opting for IKO Dynasty Asphalt Shingles in Granite Black. These Class 3, impact-rated heavyweight shingles are made with a resilient, inorganic glass base that is coated with weather-resistant asphalt. The shingles feature a perforated, three-piece, pre-tapered design, ensuring long-lasting performance, and are surfaced with ceramic granules that protect the asphalt from ultraviolet radiation. During the roof renovation, we set up tarps to protect the surrounding structures and contain debris. We removed the existing roofing system down to the decking and inspected the decking for any soft or rotten areas, replacing them as necessary. Next, we installed two rows of Ice and Water Shield along all eaves and one row in the valleys. We then applied synthetic underlayment to the remaining areas of the roof and installed an aluminum drip edge around the perimeter.

Ryan was very pleased with the final results and will recommend Vita Roofing to everyone he knows!

Michael, in Valley City, ND, contacted Vita Roofing after their aging double-layer flat roofing system began showing signs of water intrusion and wear. During the inspection, the team discovered failing seams, deteriorating materials, and even sections of roof decking that needed attention. To provide a long-term solution, Vita Roofing recommended a full EPDM roof replacement, designed to protect the building against leaks, heavy rain, and harsh UV exposure.

The crew began by performing a complete tear-off of the old double-layer system, removing all damaged materials down to the decking. After repairing and replacing several weakened deck boards, they carefully installed the new EPDM membrane along with edge metal, screws, and plates for a secure foundation. Using high-quality bonding adhesive, flashing, and a precise transition tie-in between the flat roof and shingle sections, Vita Roofing ensured every detail was watertight and built to last.

Now, the property is safeguarded with a durable, low-maintenance EPDM system that offers decades of protection. The owner was impressed not only by the improved performance but also by the clean, professional installation from start to finish. With expert service and quality materials, Vita Roofing continues to be the go-to roofing contractor for flat roof replacement and repair in the Valley City, ND area.
