One Call. Every Exterior Service Your Property Needs.

Wegner Roofing & Solar is a full-service exterior contracting company serving homeowners and businesses across Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Tennessee. Whether you need a complete roof replacement after storm damage, a solar installation to cut energy costs, or new siding to restore curb appeal and add home value, our local crews deliver nationally recognized quality, backed by over 2,000 five-star reviews and 15 years of continuous operation.

Residential Roofing Services

From emergency tarping after a hailstorm to full roof replacements with premium architectural shingles, Wegner’s residential roofing teams handle every scope of work, with the crew capacity, material access, and insurance claim expertise of a nationally ranked contractor.

Roof Replacement

When repair is no longer cost-effective, a full roof replacement is the smartest long-term investment you can make in your home. Wegner installs GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed architectural shingles, all backed by manufacturer warranties from 30 years to a lifetime.

Architectural shingles in Montana and the Dakotas last 20–25 years under normal conditions. In high-hail zones without impact-resistant materials, that lifespan shortens to 15–18 years. Most homes between 1,500–3,000 sq ft are fully replaced in 1–2 days.

Roof Repair

Not every damaged roof needs a full replacement. Wegner’s repair specialists diagnose the precise cause of leaks, missing shingles, and flashing failures, then fix them to prevent a manageable problem from becoming a costly one.

Minor roof repairs like patching 10–15 damaged shingles or resealing failed flashing typically cost $300–$900 in our service areas. Most repairs are completed same-day or within 24 hours of the initial inspection.

Storm Damage Roof Repairs

Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Iowa consistently rank among the top hail-impact states in the U.S. Wegner’s storm damage specialists document, repair, and replace hail- and wind-damaged roofs, working directly with your insurance carrier to maximize your approved claim.

Hailstones 1 inch in diameter or larger cause bruising, cracking, or granule loss in standard 3-tab asphalt shingles. Sustained wind above 60 mph can lift or crack shingles rated for standard exposure conditions.

Hail Proof Roofing

For homeowners in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Iowa, upgrading to impact-resistant roofing is one of the highest-ROI home improvements available. Wegner installs Class 4 impact-resistant shingles (the highest rating on the ANSI/FM 4473 resistance scale) specifically designed for hail-heavy environments.

Class 4 shingles withstand impacts from a 2-inch steel ball under ANSI/FM 4473 test conditions. Upgrading from standard to Class 4 shingles can reduce homeowner insurance premiums by 15–30% in high-hail regions of Montana and the Dakotas.

Metal Roofing

Standing seam metal roofing is the premium long-term choice for homeowners who want maximum durability, weather resistance, and decades of low-maintenance performance. Ideal for Montana, the Dakotas, and Iowa, where extreme temperature swings, hail events, and heavy snow loads are routine.

Standing seam metal roofs carry a 40–70 year lifespan and withstand wind speeds up to 140 mph. Metal roofing reflects 25–95% of solar radiation, reducing home cooling costs by 10–25% during warmer months.

Emergency Roofing Services

Storm damage doesn’t follow business hours, and neither does Wegner. Our emergency crews respond rapidly to active leaks, wind-blown sections, and sudden storm damage to protect your home and property before permanent repairs begin.

Wegner emergency teams target a 2–4 hour response window for active leaks or severe structural damage within established service territories across MT, ND, SD, IA, and TN.

Shingle Roofing

Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most popular residential roofing choice in our service areas, delivering an excellent balance of cost, durability, aesthetics, and warranty coverage. Wegner installs premium shingles from the industry’s top-rated manufacturers with certified crews on every project.

Architectural (dimensional) shingles are 2–3x thicker than standard 3-tab shingles and carry manufacturer warranties of 30–50 years. When properly installed per manufacturer specs, they achieve a wind resistance rating of 110–130 mph.

Flat Roofing

Low-slope and flat roofing systems require specialized materials and installation methods distinct from pitched residential work. Wegner installs TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems for residential low-slope additions and commercial flat roofs across our five-state service area.

TPO and EPDM flat roofing membranes typically last 15–30 years with routine maintenance. White TPO membranes achieve a solar reflectance index (SRI) of 104, reducing rooftop surface temperatures by up to 50°F compared to dark conventional surfaces.

Roof Insulation

Proper attic insulation is critical for homes in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, where winter temperatures regularly drop below 0°F. Inadequate insulation drives up heating bills, accelerates roof system wear, and contributes to dangerous ice dam formation.

IECC climate zone standards call for R-49 to R-60 attic insulation in Montana and North Dakota. Homes with insufficient insulation in these zones can see annual HVAC costs increase by 15–20% compared to properly insulated equivalents.

Roof Ventilation

A properly ventilated attic extends roof system life, reduces energy costs, and prevents moisture-driven damage including mold growth and wood rot. Ventilation is especially critical in Montana, the Dakotas, and Iowa, where improper attic airflow is a primary driver of ice dam damage.

The FHA-recommended ventilation ratio is 1 sq ft of net free ventilation area per 150 sq ft of attic floor space. A balanced system keeps attic-to-outdoor temperature differentials within 5–10°F during winter months, preventing ice dam formation.

Commercial Roofing Services

Commercial roofing demands a different level of crew capacity, material expertise, and project planning than residential work. Wegner’s commercial division is equipped for projects from 3,000 sq ft retail builds to 50,000+ sq ft warehouse re-roofing, with the infrastructure to complete large-scale work on schedule and within budget.

Wegner’s ranking as #86 on Roofing Contractor magazine’s 2025 Top 100 list reflects our capacity to consistently perform at commercial scale across multiple markets simultaneously. Our commercial teams have completed projects ranging from small retail additions to large multi-family and warehouse facilities across all five of our service states.

TPO single-ply membrane lasts 15–25 years. EPDM rubber roofing lasts 20–30 years. Modified bitumen systems last 20–30 years. Built-up roofing (BUR) lasts 25–40 years. Standing seam metal commercial roofing achieves a 40–60 year service life.

Residential & Commercial Solar Panel Installation

Reduce monthly energy bills, increase property value, and generate clean power for decades with Wegner’s customized solar panel installation services. As a full-service exterior contractor, we integrate solar systems into both new and existing roof structures, with roofing and solar expertise working in unison from day one.

Why a Roofing Company Is the Right Choice for Solar Installation

Most solar installers don’t understand roofing. Most roofers don’t understand solar. Wegner does both, which means your solar system is designed with the structural integrity of your roof in mind from the first measurement. Improper solar panel mounting is among the leading causes of premature roof leaks, and our dual-discipline expertise eliminates that risk entirely.

All Wegner solar installations carry a 25-year production warranty guaranteeing at least 80% of rated output through year 25, plus a 10-year workmanship warranty on all installation labor and mounting hardware.

Residential Siding Installation & Replacement

New siding does more than improve curb appeal. It fortifies your home’s weather envelope, upgrades insulation efficiency, and adds measurable resale value. Wegner offers three premium siding systems (vinyl, fiber cement, and insulated siding) installed by certified crews who treat every exterior like their own.

Vinyl Siding Installation

Vinyl siding is the most popular exterior cladding choice in the U.S. for a reason. It delivers strong weather resistance, minimal maintenance, and high aesthetic versatility at a price point accessible to most homeowners in our service areas.

Vinyl siding is rated for sustained wind speeds up to 110 mph and carries a limited lifetime warranty from manufacturers such as CertainTeed and Royal Building Products. With insulated backing, vinyl siding reduces exterior wall heat loss by up to 20%. Typical install time: 2–5 days for most single-family homes.

Fiber Cement Siding (James Hardie)

Fiber cement siding is the premium siding choice for homeowners who want maximum durability, fire resistance, and the authentic look of wood without the maintenance. Especially well-suited for Montana and the Dakotas, where hail, extreme temperature swings, and moisture cycling are regular events.

James Hardie fiber cement siding carries a 30-year non-prorated limited warranty and is rated for wind speeds up to 130 mph. It achieves a Class 1 fire rating per ASTM E-84 and resists moisture, rot, fungal growth, and insect damage.

Insulated Siding

Insulated siding bonds continuous rigid foam insulation directly to the back of premium vinyl panels, delivering measurably better energy performance than standard vinyl while also improving impact resistance and sound attenuation. The ideal upgrade for older homes in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota with minimal wall insulation.

Insulated siding adds R-2 to R-5 of continuous wall insulation, improving whole-home energy efficiency by 5–10% annually. It reduces thermal bridging through wall studs by up to 35% compared to standard vinyl siding installations.

Additional Exterior Services

A great roof and durable siding are only part of a well-protected home. Wegner’s full exterior capabilities extend to windows, gutters, soffit and fascia, and roof flashing, ensuring every component performs at its best and every potential point of failure is properly addressed.

Window Installation & Replacement

Energy Star-certified replacement windows reduce annual heating and cooling costs by 12–15%. Triple-pane windows in Montana and North Dakota achieve U-factors as low as 0.17, significantly reducing heat transfer in sustained sub-zero conditions.

Gutter Installation & Replacement

Properly functioning gutters direct water 5–10 feet away from your foundation. Wegner installs seamless aluminum gutters, custom-fabricated on-site, that last 20–30 years with minimal maintenance and eliminate leak-prone seams found in sectional systems.

Soffit & Fascia Installation

Damaged fascia and soffit allow moisture infiltration that causes wood rot within 3–5 years in wet or freeze-thaw conditions. Wegner replaces deteriorated fascia and soffit with low-maintenance aluminum or vinyl materials that permanently seal the roof's lower edge.

Roof Flashing Services

Up to 90% of roof leaks originate at flashing points: around chimneys, skylights, valleys, and pipe penetrations. Wegner installs galvanized steel and aluminum flashing at a minimum 20-mil thickness, sealed with professional-grade underlayment and sealants on every project.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1–2 days. A standard 2,000 sq ft home with architectural shingles typically requires 6–8 hours of active crew labor from tear-off to final cleanup.

The factors most likely to extend a project timeline include roof complexity (multiple pitch angles, valleys, or dormers), the number of existing shingle layers requiring removal before installation, and weather conditions. For commercial projects, a 10,000–50,000 sq ft flat roof replacement typically requires 3–7 days depending on system type and crew staging. Wegner provides a firm project timeline during your free roof inspection so you can plan accordingly.

Does homeowners insurance cover roof damage in Montana, the Dakotas, Iowa, or Tennessee?

Yes, most standard homeowners insurance policies cover sudden storm damage including hail and wind, subject to your deductible. Wear and age-related deterioration is generally excluded from coverage.

In hail-prone states like Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, many insurers apply a separate percentage-based wind/hail deductible (typically 1-3% of the home’s insured value) rather than a standard flat-dollar deductible. For a home insured at $300,000, a 1% wind/hail deductible means $3,000 out of pocket before coverage kicks in. Wegner’s team provides full insurance claim assistance at no additional charge, including on-site adjuster meetings, formal damage documentation, and a scope-of-work review to confirm your claim accurately reflects all confirmed damage.

How much does a roof replacement cost in Montana, the Dakotas, Iowa, or Tennessee?

A residential roof replacement with architectural asphalt shingles typically costs $8,000–$18,000 for homes between 1,500–3,000 sq ft in our service areas. Metal roofing systems range from $15,000–$40,000+ for comparable homes.

Roofing is priced per “square” with each square equaling 100 sq ft of actual roof surface area. Final costs depend on total roof squares measured, roof pitch (steeper pitches require more labor and safety equipment), the number of existing layers to remove, material grade selected, and location-specific labor rates. For insurance-related replacements, your out-of-pocket cost is typically limited to your policy deductible. Wegner offers $0 down, 0% interest financing for qualified homeowners on both retail and insurance projects.

What is the best roofing material for hail-prone areas like Montana and South Dakota?

Class 4 impact-resistant asphalt shingles or standing seam metal roofing are the two most effective hail-resistant options. Both withstand hailstones up to 2 inches in diameter under standardized testing conditions.

Class 4 shingles achieve the highest rating on the ANSI/FM 4473 impact resistance scale, passing a standardized test involving a 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet. Standing seam metal roofing provides the highest absolute impact resistance of any residential roofing system available. Both options typically qualify for homeowner insurance premium reductions of 15–30% in designated high-hail counties. For most homeowners balancing performance and budget, Class 4 architectural shingles offer the strongest value. Metal roofing is the recommended choice for homeowners prioritizing maximum lifespan (40–70 years) with the lowest long-term maintenance cost.

How long do solar panels last, and what is the return on investment?

Solar panels installed by Wegner carry a 25-year production warranty guaranteeing a minimum of 80% rated output through year 25. Most residential systems reach full investment payback in 6–10 years through accumulated energy savings.

A typical residential 6–10 kW system generates 7,200–12,000 kWh annually in our service areas, translating to $100–$250 in monthly utility bill savings depending on local rates. After the 6–10 year payback window, that electricity is essentially free for another 15+ years of remaining warranted production life. Solar installations also increase resale value; a Zillow study found solar homes sell for an average of 4.1% more in comparable markets. With Wegner’s $0 down, 0% interest financing, most homeowners begin saving on their first energy bill before making a single loan payment.

Is Wegner Roofing & Solar a permanent local company or a contractor?

Wegner Roofing & Solar has operated continuously since 2011 with permanent offices, dedicated local phone numbers, and locally employed crews in every market we serve across five states. We are not a storm-chasing operation.

This is one of the most important questions homeowners can ask after a major hail event, when temporary storm-chasing contractors flood affected areas. Wegner was ranked #86 on Roofing Contractor magazine’s 2025 Top 100 Roofing Contractors list, a performance-based ranking measuring sustained production volume and operational infrastructure at the national level. That recognition cannot be achieved without permanent infrastructure, long-term customer relationships, and consistent quality year over year. We maintain dedicated offices in Billings, Bozeman, Belgrade, Bismarck, Williston, Rapid City, Spearfish, Sioux Falls, Des Moines, DeWitt, Nashville, and Franklin, staffed by people who live in the same communities as our customers.

Does Wegner offer financing for roofing, solar, or siding projects?

Yes, Wegner offers $0 down and 0% interest financing for qualified homeowners on roofing, solar, and siding projects. Most homeowners can begin their project immediately with no upfront cost required.

Solar financing is structured so that in most cases, your monthly loan payment is less than your projected first-month utility bill savings, meaning you may experience a net-positive cash position from day one. Roofing and siding financing allows homeowners to protect their property without depleting emergency savings or waiting until a convenient budget window opens. Contact Wegner at 877-GOT-ROOF to discuss current financing terms and qualification requirements for your specific project and state.
