Residential & Commercial Roofing Services

Your roof is the single most important line of defense protecting your family, your inventory, and your structural investment. As a certified roofing contractor, we provide complete residential and commercial roofing solutions tailored specifically to handle the extreme climate demands of the southern plains.

Residential Roofing Care

From framing roof systems on brand-new home extensions to stripping away decades of old, degraded shingles, we handle all residential needs with precision. We feature top-tier, impact-resistant Malarkey shingle systems engineered with rubberized polymers to absorb heavy hail impact and resist high-wind blowouts. If a storm recently swept through town, our targeted repair team moves quickly to track down hidden leaks, patch flashing, and restore your home’s barrier before moisture can damage your ceilings.

Commercial & Agricultural Systems

A leaking roof over a business storefront, agricultural shop, or storage facility can bring your operations to a sudden, costly halt. We install and repair heavy-duty flat, low-slope, and metal roofing membranes built to expand and contract naturally during extreme temperature swings. Our commercial installations focus on maximum longevity and improved thermal efficiency, helping you keep overhead heating and cooling costs low.

High-Performance Siding Upgrades & Repairs

The outer walls of your property bear the brunt of North Dakota's relentless seasonal shifts, absorbing everything from punishing summer UV rays to driving winter sleet. We provide full-service residential and commercial siding solutions that fortify your building's structural envelope, eliminate drafty spots, and help you maintain a stable, comfortable indoor temperature.

We specialize in wrapping local homes and commercial spaces in premium, impact-resistant vinyl and composite materials. Here is how we help keep your property completely sealed:

  • Thermal Protection: We install high-efficiency insulated siding that acts as a continuous thermal barrier, significantly reducing your heating and cooling loss throughout the year.

  • Zero-Maintenance Durability: Our modern siding materials are engineered to resist warping, cracking, and fading, giving your building a clean, freshly finished look for decades without the need for constant scraping and painting.

  • Targeted Exterior Repairs: If severe prairie hail or high winds have compromised a section of your exterior, we offer prompt, localized repairs to replace damaged panels before moisture can rot your underlying wood framing.

Specialized Concrete, Garages, & Seasonal Property Support

Beyond keeping your roofs and walls watertight, our local crew brings our signature "no shortcuts" craftsmanship to a wide range of specialized exterior and structural needs around your property.

  • High-Strength Concrete: We pour steel-reinforced foundations, custom driveways, and sidewalks with advanced air-entrained concrete mixes that naturally freeze and expand without cracking or winter spalling.

  • Custom Insulated Garages: Protect your vehicles, agricultural equipment, and tools from sub-zero mornings with a custom attached or detached garage, fully insulated and designed to double as a comfortable, cost-effective workspace.

  • Seamless Home Expansions: Grow your square footage without the stress of moving by adding expertly framed room additions, kitchen extensions, or weather-tight sunrooms engineered to support heavy snow loads.

  • Responsive Snow Plowing: When winter blizzards drift snow across your property, we keep things clear and accessible with responsive residential plowing, automatic commercial contracts, and thorough ice management.

  • 24-Hour Emergency Response: We're available day or night for emergency storm support, providing immediate roof tarping and rapid leak patching to stabilize your structure during an unexpected crisis.

Why Ellendale Property Owners Trust Vetter Construction LLC

Frequently Asked Questions About Ellendale Exterior Services

How do Ellendale's strong border winds affect my choice of roofing shingles?

Because our open geography faces intense wind shear coming off the southern plains, standard shingles can easily lift and blow away. We recommend and install heavy-duty shingles featuring reinforced nailing lines and specialized adhesive strips designed to stay locked down tightly in high winds.

What should I do if my roof starts leaking in the middle of a winter freeze?

Reach out to us right away. We're available 24 hours a day for emergency response. We will quickly tarp the leak to protect your ceiling, then return to perform permanent repairs as soon as the weather warms up.

Do you offer veteran discounts for local projects?

Yes. We're incredibly proud to offer dedicated Veteran Discounts on all of our services. Just let us know during your initial estimate, and we will apply it directly to your project.

We couldn’t be happier with our new roof!

It was damaged in a terrible storm that left many of the homes in town damaged, and storm chasers showing up from all over offering to fix our roof.

We chose Vetter because they are local, friendly, experienced and answered all of our questions before starting. And handled the insurance paperwork supplements! The job was start to finish in one day, and we don’t have the easiest roof to work on. No trace left behind. Beautiful.

Very pleased. Would highly recommend. THANO YOU!

I am not surprised at all to see so many 5 star reviews for Vetter Construction! The owners and staff are really nice and easy to work with and, most importantly, they do a fantastic job. Their work is efficiently and professionally done and they do an amazing job of cleanup up after. I highly recommend them and plan to call them for other projects! We did not know anything about them before this project and I am so thankful that Landon referred us to them!

No one expected the amount of damage back in June 2025 from the storms, I called around town for roofing contractors and Vetter was the only one who returned my call. Good price for my entire property to get new shingles. It was scheduled for Spring of 2026. They just completed everything yesterday. They even helped with my insurance company on my behalf. Wonderful crew, very efficient, open and honest communication. 10/10 Recommend Vetter Construction for all of your home repairs. Already talking with them on another project. Thanks Vetter Construction and crew!

From start to finish, Vetter Construction LLC did an outstanding job on our roofing project.
The entire process began with a clear and honest quote. They explained everything thoroughly, answered questions, and made sure we understood what would be done. There were no surprises — just straightforward communication and professionalism.
On installation day, their crew showed up on time and worked efficiently. Before tearing off the old shingles, they carefully laid tarps around the house to protect the landscaping and yard. That attention to detail immediately showed they care about doing things the right way.
During the tear-off and shingle installation, the team worked with precision and professionalism. They also inspected the roof decking and made repairs where needed instead of just covering issues up. That gave us confidence the job was being done properly — not just quickly.
Cleanup was just as impressive as the install. They thoroughly cleared all debris and even used magnetic rollers to ensure stray nails were picked up from the yard and driveway. That level of care matters, especially for safety.
The finished roof looks fantastic, and the workmanship is top quality. Vetter Construction LLC truly delivered on what they promised.
If you're looking for a roofing company that communicates well, works hard, protects your property, and stands behind their work, I highly recommend Vetter Construction LLC.
