The Story Behind the Business
Stacy Lehn, Owner, Founder, and the Person Who Answers the Phone
Stacy Lehn's journey in the roofing industry started at the age of 14, working alongside his cousin in home construction with a heavy emphasis on roofing. What began as jumping in to help the family turned into doing his own jobs, then roofing sales, then a side business that kept growing until there was only one logical next step: building it into something real.
Advanced Roofing and Siding has been operating since 1993. In 2009 Stacy earned the GAF Master Elite certification, a designation held by fewer than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide. That certification unlocked the GAF Golden Pledge 50-year warranty and established Advanced Roofing and Siding as one of the most credentialed exterior contractors in the Twin Cities metro.
Today Stacy's sons are actively contributing to the business. The same work ethic that put Stacy on a roof at 14 is now being passed to the next generation, and the same commitment to doing the job right the first time remains the standard on every project Advanced Roofing and Siding completes.
What Sets Us Apart
Why Does a Family-Owned Contractor Outperform a National Chain for Minnesota Homeowners?
Three reasons that show up on every project Advanced Roofing and Siding completes.
Local Accountability That Does Not Exist With a Franchise
When Stacy Lehn puts his name on a roofing project in Anoka, Maple Grove, or Elk River, he is accountable to people he sees at local schools, businesses, and community events. That accountability is not a marketing statement. It is the reason Advanced Roofing and Siding has maintained an A+ BBB rating since 2007 and has earned 160+ verified five-star reviews from real homeowners across the Twin Cities metro. A national franchise or storm-chaser crew does not have that stake in your neighborhood.
Credentials That Most Contractors Cannot Offer
The GAF Master Elite certification Stacy earned in 2009 is held by fewer than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide. It is not a designation you can buy or inherit. It requires documented proof of valid state licensing, adequate insurance, a verifiable history of quality installations, and an ongoing commitment to professional training. It also unlocks the GAF Golden Pledge 50-year warranty covering both materials and workmanship, which is not available from any contractor below the Master Elite tier.
A Family Business Built for the Long Term
Advanced Roofing and Siding is not optimizing for quarterly revenue. Stacy's sons are now part of the business, which means the decisions being made today about crew standards, material quality, and customer relationships are decisions the next generation will inherit and build on. That long-term orientation shows up in every project, from the materials specified to the final walkthrough before the crew leaves your property.
