Bismarck Roof Pros provides professional asphalt shingle roofs in Bismarck, ND for residential and commercial properties across central North Dakota. If you take one recommendation off this site, take this one: on a Bismarck house, spend the upgrade money on SBS polymer-modified shingles rather than on a thicker standard laminate. Same roof, same crew, and a mat that behaves completely differently in January.
Conventional shingle asphalt is a thermoplastic. It softens as it warms and stiffens as it cools, and it passes out of useful flexibility well before the temperatures this station actually records. Our January normal low sits at 2.4 degrees in the current NOAA thirty-year set, and the record for the month is 45 below. A brittle mat at those numbers has no give left when something hits it or when the deck under it shifts.
SBS is styrene-butadiene-styrene, the same family of rubber modifiers used in commercial modified bitumen. Blended into the asphalt it lowers the temperature at which the mat goes rigid and raises the temperature at which it goes soft. In a market defined by its span rather than by either extreme, widening the usable range of the material is worth more than adding weight to it.
The rest of the install is ordinary and should be done properly anyway. Real starter at the eaves and the rakes, six nails in the common bond, nails in the nail zone rather than driven high above it, ridge cap from the matching accessory rather than cut three-tab, and a synthetic underlayment that handles both a hot deck in August and a cold morning in April.
Three-tab still has a place here and we will still sell it to you. A detached garage, a shed, a rental you are holding for two more years, a slope nobody will ever see from the street. It is a perfectly good product for a building where a shorter service life is the point, and paying laminate prices on a garage roof is money you could have put toward the house.
Color matters less here than salespeople suggest, but it is not quite nothing. A darker roof runs hotter under a July sun and helps a little with melt in March. Neither effect is going to decide the life of the roof, and neither is worth an upcharge. Pick the color you want to look at for twenty-five years, and put the argument money into the mat instead.
Our insured and bonded team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — floating-clip standing seam with one defined fixed point, SBS polymer-modified shingle mat, ring-shank roofing nails in a six-nail common bond, a sawn mortar reglet that lets step flashing slide, published low-temperature flexibility of roofing sealant, hemmed and cleated drip edge in ten-foot lengths — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Bismarck and nearby communities including Mandan, Lincoln, Wilton, New Salem.

Materials, equipment and how we do asphalt shingle roofs
The difference between asphalt shingle roofs that lasts and asphalt shingle roofs that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with floating-clip standing seam with one defined fixed point, SBS polymer-modified shingle mat, ring-shank roofing nails in a six-nail common bond, a sawn mortar reglet that lets step flashing slide, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Bismarck job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in central North Dakota means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Bismarck Chooses Bismarck Roof Pros
- ✓We specify for a 159-degree annual range rather than for one season, which changes the nail, the underlayment and the flashing detail
- ✓SBS polymer-modified shingles recommended over plain impact-rated laminate, because rating tests are run at room temperature
- ✓Floating-clip standing seam only on houses; we will argue against exposed-fastener panel and put the reasoning in writing
- ✓Counterflashing set into a cut reglet instead of surface-mounted in mastic, so step flashing stays free to move
