*This is the sixth and final in a series of blog posts about Mint Roofing’s Core Values.
Fun is the spark that keeps Mint Roofing crews coming back energized, day after day, through Minnesota’s toughest weather and tightest deadlines. As our final Core Value, it rounds out a culture where hard work meets real enjoyment, creating teams that deliver top-notch roofs with genuine enthusiasm.
Why Fun Matters in Commercial Roofing
Commercial roofing is demanding work. The conditions are tough, the schedules are tight, and the stakes are high for every building we touch. A sense of fun helps us balance that responsibility with a healthy, people-first culture.
For us, fun is not about being silly or taking the work lightly. It is about bringing positive energy to the job, celebrating wins, and creating a workplace where people genuinely enjoy working together. When people like coming to work, they communicate better, pay closer attention, and stay with the company longer. That stability directly benefits our clients and their roofs.
Fun as a Core Value
Mint Roofing has built its culture around Core Values like Passion, Collaboration, Flexibility, Integrity, Safety, and Fun. From the office to the warehouse to the crews on the roof, you see those values in action day in and day out.
Fun fits right alongside the others. It shows up when a crew shares a laugh before a big crane lift, when the office celebrates a work anniversary, or when the whole company comes together for a milestone like our 75th anniversary. These moments matter because they remind us that we are more than a collection of job tickets and schedules. We are people working hard together toward a shared goal.

How Fun Shows Up on the Roof
On the roof, fun looks like teams that genuinely enjoy working together. You will see friendly banter, encouraging words when the weather is rough, and a sense of pride when a job turns out exactly as planned. That positive attitude keeps focus high and tempers low, even when projects are complex.
We still follow strict safety protocols and quality standards. The difference is that our crews do it with a spirit of camaraderie instead of just trying to get through the day. When people feel supported and appreciated, they are more likely to watch out for each other, speak up if something seems off, and go the extra mile for the client.
Fun Inside the Team
Fun is also a big part of how we build and keep a strong team. Mint Roofing regularly celebrates anniversaries, promotions, and personal milestones, which reinforces the idea that every person matters. Team events, lunch gatherings, and company celebrations give people a chance to connect beyond their job titles.
Our leadership has spoken publicly about the importance of values such as passion, integrity, flexibility, and fun in attracting and retaining both women and men in the trades. Those values are not just talked about. They are integrated into how we recognize performance and how we lead by example.
Fun Beyond the Rooftop
Fun is not limited to what happens inside our four walls. Mint Roofing is active in the community, supporting organizations such as Goodwill-Easter Seals Minnesota, Folds of Honor, and local Rotary efforts. Serving alongside community partners is both meaningful and enjoyable. It lets our team use their time and talents to support causes they care about.
We also participate in industry events like National Roofing Week, which gives us a chance to highlight our team, share stories, and celebrate the impact of roofing in everyday life. These activities keep us connected to the wider industry and remind us that fun and pride can absolutely coexist with professionalism and high standards.
Why Fun Matters to Our Clients
You might not list “fun” as a top requirement when choosing a commercial roofing contractor, but you will feel the difference when you work with a team that has it. A positive culture leads to lower turnover, stronger communication, and crews that show up engaged and ready to do their best work.
Fun helps us bring energy to every job, whether it is a small repair or a full roof replacement. It keeps morale steady during long projects and helps us build relationships that last for decades. When a contractor treats people well and creates a place where they can thrive, clients benefit through consistency, reliability, and quality.
