On a mission to serve the roofing industry.

1976 Founding

Horizon Roofing and Sheet Metal was founded in 1976 by Dan Scepaniak. What started as a dream built in a Central Minnesota garage quickly turned into a booming business. For 45 years, Horizon Roofing has been on a mission to serve the roofing industry with highly-qualified, uncompromising workmanship, and service. We’ve come a long way in our 45 years but make an effort to stay true to our family-owned roots.

Family Succession

In 2000, upon Dan’s retirement, his son, Kurt, assumed the position of President and eventually became the sole owner. Since then, we’ve seen exceptional growth in our business, all while living out our core values and maintaining high ethics. Our commitment to both employees and customers alike has created a new standard for service excellence and industry leadership in the commercial roofing field. We have built a reputation through our innovative, outside-the-box-thinking and throughout our tenure have earned many esteemed awards, no doubt, making us the winning team to work with.

Staying Strong

As commercial roofing experts, we specialize in commercial flat roofing, architectural sheet metal, roofing maintenance, inspections, and 24/7 service. To provide the best solutions for our customers, we have made an effort to be different. To date, we have invested over 30,000 programming hours into our proprietary reporting systems, which allow our customers to check in on their projects every step of the way. Dedication, integrity, and the embracing of new technologies and building practices has made us the premier commercial roofing contractor in the Midwest. Experience the difference at Horizon Roofing.

Along with his complete knowledge of roofing systems and metals, Robert is great with numbers and spends hours digging into a project to provide the best value for our customers. Robert views honesty as the best policy, always owning up to his mistakes, which aligns directly with our company’s values.
