Roof Replacement
in Minneapolis

Roof replacement involves stripping your entire roof down to the decking, inspecting for hidden damage, and installing new materials from the deck up. This is different from a repair—you're not patching leaks; you're rebuilding the system. The process typically takes 1-3 days depending on roof size and weather. In Minneapolis, where heavy snowfall and ice dams are common, replacement often becomes necessary when your current roof is 20+ years old, has widespread missing shingles, or shows signs of water damage inside your attic. When we replace a roof on a 1960s ranch in Northeast Minneapolis, we often find rotted decking hidden under the old shingles—something you'd never spot from the ground. That's why inspection before the quote matters. We check for soft spots, nail pops, and ice dam damage. If decking needs replacement, we'll tell you upfront and explain why it affects the price. The job starts with removing old shingles and flashing. Our crew hauls debris daily so your yard stays clean. We install new underlayment (usually synthetic, which handles Minnesota's temperature swings better than felt). Then comes ice-and-water shield along the eaves and valleys—this stops ice dams from backing water into your home. Finally, we nail down new shingles, install new flashing at chimneys and vents, and seal everything against water infiltration. Cost for roof replacement in Minneapolis typically ranges from $8,000 to $18,000 for a standard two-story home, depending on roof pitch, material choice, and any decking replacement needed. Asphalt shingles are the most common; metal roofing and architectural shingles cost more but last longer.
