Roofing Shingles, Styles and Colors
J.G. Hause Construction installs a wide variety of roofing shingles.
At J.G. Hause Construction, we know your shingled roof is one of the most important parts of your residential structure; it protects the integrity of the entire home. So don’t make the mistake of waiting until the last minute to replace your roof. Not replacing your roofing materials when it needs to be done can cause damage to the insulation, framework, sheetrock, carpet, and more. And each of these can add up into costly repairs in the long run.

Roofing shingles come in an array of colors and blends, and a variety of shapes and materials. Flat shingles are often referred to as “3 tab.” Shingles that are not flat but have dimension to them are called “dimensional” or “architectural.” All roofing shingles have different wind ratings, algae ratings, and warranties. There are many different brands of shingle roofing on the market today, but some of the most common shingles in use in our local market today are metal roofs, cedar shingles, and asphalt shingles. Finding the product that will best fit your needs can be difficult, so we will be happy to show you the advantages of the different roofing shingles available today, and allow you to make an educated decision.
Why Use Asphalt Roofing?
Asphalt roofing shingles are one of the most popular types of roofing materials used throughout the United States today.
Asphalt shingles are typically more cost-effective, and they offer a variety of styles and regional benefits you can use on today’s modern residential or small commercial structures. If your home, business, or public property features a sloped rooftop, these shingles are a lightweight and economical solution to apply on highly angled structures. And J.G. Hause Construction can provide you with the best solutions and pricing to fit your next project.

Asphalt roofing yields high performance with a material that is familiar and reliable.
An asphalt shingle provides a simple and elegant solution for property owners who require an affordable roof featuring high performance and excellent curb appeal. Asphalt roofing is built primarily from a multitude of shingles featuring a simple but highly effective design. The first step is to have a slab of material, usually a composite or fiberglass stock, and make sure it is flattened. On top of this little foundation is perhaps the most high-performing material used: tar. The tar is the semi-elastic agent bringing each individual piece together, working to weatherproof this first line of defense against rain, snow and sunshine, and working as a protective shell. Add to that some gravel, and you have one hard-working asphalt roofing shingle.

10 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Roofing Contractor
Hiring a roofing contractor should not be solely based on the types of products they can provide you.
And there’s more to consider than just cost. So the team at J.G. Hause Construction put together a short list of the ten most common questions they’ve received over their 30+ years, along with their answers, because we want to help you choose the right contractor.
When hiring a roofing contractor to replace any residential or business roof, it is important to research and examine a number of aspects. Any local contractor should be able to answer the following ten questions to your satisfaction.
1. Does the contractor have general liability insurance and worker’s compensation to protect you, the homeowner, from injury or damage claims?
Answer: J.G. Hause Construction maintains and will provide you with proof of our general liability insurance and worker’s compensation policies.
2. How long has the company been in business under the same ownership?
Answer: J.G. Hause Construction Inc, has been owned and operated continuously by Jeff & Missy Hause since 1985, and our long-standing reputation in the community speaks for itself.
3. Are they properly registered with the State of Minnesota or Wisconsin?
Answer: J.G. Hause Construction, Inc. is fully licensed and registered with the States of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Our MN license is #BC005350, and our WI license is #7969. Working with a non-licensed or non-registered contractor can expose you, the homeowner, to liability should something happen on the job or with the structure in the future.
4. Is the contractor a certified roofing installer?
Answer: J.G. Hause Construction, Inc. is a certified GAF Master Elite Contractor, a status awarded to only about 3% of installation contractors nationwide. We are also an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor. Hiring a roofing contractor certified as an expert installer by the companies producing the product ensures you’re getting quality service and someone who completely understands how to handle the product from top to bottom without compromising its integrity upon installation.

Answer: J.G. Hause Construction, Inc. would be happy to provide you with information and resources upon request. You can also find independent review resources regarding our work online through Google, GAF.com, social media and more.

It’s not a make-or-break deal if they’re not members, but a roofing contractor who takes this extra initiative demonstrates their concern for your satisfaction in service and their willingness to share resolutions.
7. What kind of labor warranty are they offering?
Answer: J.G. Hause Construction, Inc. provides a 10-year labor warranty. Should an issue arise outside of business hours, we have an emergency contact number you can call.
8. When comparing proposals between contractors, are the products, services and warranties being offered the same or different?
Answer: Sometimes homeowners don’t realize that the contractors are bidding different materials that could add up to a difference of hundreds or even thousands of dollars. It’s important that you hire a roofing contractor who can effectively demonstrate these differences for you.
9. Is the contractor providing you with the state-required documents and notifications?
Answer: The State of Minnesota requires that certain notifications be provided in writing to consumers seeking to hire a contractor. Reputable and ethical contractors will comply with this requirement. J.G. Hause Construction, Inc. annually updates their state-mandated notification records to ensure you receive every required document for your protection. We will provide you the following information:
