Patrick Ruegemer

President

Higher Dimensions Roofing was built on a simple belief, homeowners deserve honesty, accountability, and people they can trust. That standard starts with Pat.

Pat began his career in roofing right out of high school, working on a crew installing roofs across Minnesota. Like many in the industry, winter slowed things down, but instead of waiting for spring, he chose to serve. Pat joined the Army National Guard, planning to train during the off-season and return to roofing each year. Those plans changed when he was deployed to Afghanistan in 2013.

After returning home, ongoing back issues made it difficult to stay on the roof physically. That challenge pushed him in a new direction. Pat earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Natural Resources Management from the University of Minnesota and spent several years working outdoors, staying connected to his passion for land, wildlife, and the outdoors.

Eventually, roofing called him back, this time on the business side. He worked in sales with his brother Etahn for a larger Twin Cities company, gaining experience in how roofing companies operate at scale. But along the way, he saw gaps, where homeowners weren’t always treated the way they should be.

That’s what led to Higher Dimensions Roofing.

Pat set out to build something different, a company focused on serving Central Minnesota homeowners with integrity, clear communication, and a higher standard of care. As a veteran, he brings discipline, accountability, and a strong sense of responsibility into everything the company does.

Giving back is a big part of that mission. Pat is especially passionate about supporting veterans and the local communities that make Central Minnesota home. That commitment shows up in real ways, from offering a 10% discount to veterans, to partnering with Owens Corning and Purple Heart Homes each year to provide a completely free roof for a Veteran in Need. In fact, the 11th roof ever completed by Higher Dimensions Roofing was given away for free to a veteran in need right here in Little Falls, Minnesota, setting the tone early for what this company stands for.

Outside of work, Pat spends as much time as he can with his family, often outdoors. Hunting, time in the woods, and being in nature are a big part of his life. It’s where he finds perspective, and where he passes down lessons of patience, perseverance, and appreciation for what matters most.

At its core, Higher Dimensions Roofing isn’t just about roofing. It’s about people, community, and doing things the right way. That’s the foundation Pat built, and what continues to guide everything the company stands for.
