Real Minneapolis Roof Repair

Emergency Repair After a Storm Collapse

When a tree branch crashed through a roof on Lake Street in June 2024, we had a crew on-site within two hours to tarp and secure the home.

In June 2024, a homeowner near Lake Street and Nicollet Ave called us after a severe storm sent a large branch through their roof. Water was pouring into their living room. We arrived in under two hours, set up a heavy-duty tarp, and assessed the damage. The next morning, we removed the branch, replaced damaged decking, and installed new CertainTeed Landmark shingles. We also handled the insurance claim — the homeowner didn't have to make a single call. Total turnaround from emergency call to finished repair: four days. The family was back in their home with a dry, secure roof, and we even matched the new shingles to the existing color so the repair was invisible from the street.

How much does emergency roof repair cost in Minneapolis?

Cost varies based on damage severity and materials. A typical tarp-and-temporary-fix runs $300–$800, but we always provide a free, no-obligation estimate first. We’ll walk you through every cost before any work begins.

Do you handle insurance claims for emergency repairs?

Yes — we handle the insurance claim from start to finish. We’ve worked with every major insurer serving Minnesota and know how to document emergency damage to get your claim approved quickly.
