A family roofing company in south Minneapolis since 1998
Anders Brekke started the company with one truck and a two-man crew. His daughter Kari has run it since 2016. We’re 14 people now, and every roof is still done by our own crews.

How it started
Anders roofed for other contractors for eleven years before starting his own company in 1998. He worked out of his garage on 38th Street and did most of his first jobs within a mile of it.
Kari started on his crews in high school, ran the estimates from 2008 and took over when Anders retired in 2016. She still reviews every written price before it goes out.
We moved into the yard on Minnehaha Avenue in 2011. We’ve kept it to three install crews, because that’s how many Kari can visit on site every week.
