Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Replacement in Minneapolis
We've been replacing roofs across the Twin Cities since 2012. Here are the answers homeowners ask us most — no fluff, just straight talk about shingles, costs, and what to expect.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Minneapolis?
Costs vary based on roof size, pitch, and materials. For a typical Minneapolis home (around 2,000 sq. ft.), you can expect $7,000 to $15,000 for asphalt shingles. We use premium brands like Malarkey, CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas. We'll give you a free, no-obligation estimate after inspecting your roof.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements take 1 to 3 days, depending on weather, roof complexity, and crew size. We'll give you a timeline during your free inspection and keep you updated every step of the way.
Do you handle insurance claims for roof replacement?
Yes — we handle the insurance claim from start to finish. We'll help you document damage, work with your adjuster, and make sure you get what you're owed. It's one less thing to worry about after a storm.
What warranties come with a new roof?
We offer 50-year transferable warranties on select shingles, plus a workmanship warranty on our labor. That means peace of mind for you and added value if you sell your home.
Can I replace my roof myself to save money?
DIY roof replacement is risky — one mistake can lead to leaks, structural damage, or personal injury. Plus, most warranties require professional installation. We're licensed (#BC-37482) and insured, so you know the job's done right. It's worth hiring pros.
Do you replace roofs in winter?
Yes — we work year-round in Minneapolis. Cold weather doesn't stop us. We use cold-appropriate adhesives and techniques to ensure a watertight seal. If you've got ice dams or storm damage, we can help.
