Gary Kline Roofing is and has been a family-owned business since 1987 and will continue being a family-owned business. Gary Kline Roofing has always taken care of their customers first and foremost starting with Gary himself and taught to us who continue to strive for that same accomplishment.

Gary Kline started roofing with his older brother and father in 1974 after Gary completed his service in United States Marine Corp.

Gary Started working on his own in 1987, and Gary Kline Roofing was Incorporated in 1991. Gary’s wife, Julie Kline, was secretary/office manager from 1991 until she retired in 2020. 

His son Kane Kline started working for Gary Kline Roofing during summers in 1988 and continued working every summer full-time through high school.

Kane Kline initially bought into the company in 1995.

In 2000, Gary Kline had his building and office built at 3021 43rd St. NW Rochester, MN 55901, where the company is located and continually growing from.

In summer of 2000 Jeremiah Lorentzen began working for Gary Kline Roofing as soon as he graduated high school. In 2002 Jeremiah Lorentzen married Gary and Julie Kline’s daughter, Mellissa.

In 2008, Gary Kline sold his shares to Kane Kline and Jeremiah Lorentzen on a 15-year term, but remained president of the company and continued working until he retired in 2020.


From 1988 till 2010 Kane was on site every day running a crew roofing houses. In 2010 he began making the transition from roofing to being a full-time estimator, but still helping crews out on big jobs or when estimating was slower.



Jeremiah Lorentzen started with no experience in 2000 and worked his way to become a crew foreman in 2004. He continued running a crew working onsite every day until halfway through the season of 2019 when he began transitioning from crew foreman to job inspection and office training to take over all billing and financials of company.
