Quick overview

The best roofing company in Minneapolis for YOU

When you're shopping for a roofer , get estimates from multiple companies before you settle on a roofing plan. Also, speak with potential roofers about timelines, scheduling and services offered. Take the time to evaluate the warranties offered and consider how they will impact your home in the long run. Costs vary significantly based on multiple factors such as chimneys and gables, which can affect the cost of your roofing job.

While some companies can give you a ballpark estimate for the cost of a roofing job by using satellite imagery to research your home, you'll need to host in-person inspections for a true quote.

Snap Construction is the top roofer on our list because of its lifetime craftsmanship warranty, excellent selection of products with standout manufacturers' warranties and negotiable payment structure. Snap Construction has been in business for 17 years.

Craftsmen Home Improvements is our top alternative. The company offers a lifetime labor warranty, which guarantees that it will fix any issues that arise in the future. With 34 years in business, the reviews remain outstanding. With custom payment plans and a 3% credit card fee, they add a personal touch to both payments and customer service. Additionally, this Minneapolis roofer is committed to the community, and it's the only company we talked to that advertises its commitment to the environment centrally, recycling materials wherever possible.

If you're looking for a budget pick, consider Trinity Exteriors . While few of the roofers we talked to in Minneapolis would give us a ballpark price quote — Trinity Exteriors among them — it is the only company we spoke to that does not charge a credit card fee.

Best roofing companies in Minneapolis

Snap Construction

With over 17 years of experience roofing in Minneapolis and the Twin Cities area, Snap Construction is a larger company that provides the personal touch. Founder Ryan Nelson started Snap Construction in 2008, leveraging his extensive experience in roofing and the construction industry. Many team members have worked with the company for much of that time since.

A lifetime craftsmanship warranty and personal consulting services set Snap apart. The company is involved in a variety of construction work, in addition to roofing.

For a 1,500-square-foot, one-story shingle roof replacement, Snap Construction provided a ballpark cost between $9,000 and $15,000. An in-person inspection is necessary to finalize the estimate.

Snap's consulting ethos extends to payment plans. While it generally requires a 50% down payment to start, with the remaining 50% due at completion, it is willing to work with customers. Financing is available through a third-party service. Credit cards are processed with a 3.5% fee. Cash and checks are also accepted.

Beyond its lifetime craftsmanship warranty, a Snap Construction shingle roof can come with a 50-year non-prorated shingle warranty that is transferable once, as well as a 10-year labor warranty.

The Snap Construction team keeps your property tidy using a dumpster. While it has dump trailers available that can park in a driveway, for larger jobs, it often obtains a permit from the city to place a dumpster on the street. It will generally pick this up the day after the job is complete. Expect them to sweep the yard with a magnet boom to pick up stray nails.

With bilingual team members on hand, Snap Construction will take care of your needs in Spanish or English. While it didn't confirm that all team members are background checked, it told us that many of its employees have worked with the company for years.

Customer testimonial

We weren't ready for the roof finally until just before the snow started, but Snap got it done on time, and charged very little more for the extension. Great company—professional, dependable, economical, and very patient. What you always hope for when you hire someone to do a job, but frequently don't find. - Elizabeth H., Google Reviews (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Craftsmen Home Improvements

Serving the Minneapolis area for 34 years, Craftsmen Home Improvements brings a local touch and a commitment to the community and environment . Dan Bydlon, the owner of Craftsmen Home Improvements, said you won't find a complaint online about a roofing job his company has done — a claim that aligns with the company's strong reputation. Today, Bydlon's son works by his side, as part of a long-standing team, several of whom have been with the business for over two decades.

Craftsmen declined to give us a ballpark quote for how much a shingle roofing job would cost for a 1,500-square-foot roof without first seeing the property. However, it did share that the average reroofing job runs about $15,000. It told us that a consultant needs to evaluate the property before they can provide any personalized details about pricing.

Craftsmen Home Improvements assured us that it works with people on payment plans, but told us that the standard approach is to ask for 25% upfront, with the final payment due upon completion of the job. It charges a 3% credit card fee, with financing partnerships available.

It's fine for homeowners to remain inside while the work is being done. Bilingual team members are available, helping to provide customer service to both Spanish and English speakers.

Rather than using a full dumpster, Craftsmen Home Improvements brings a wheeled dump trailer along, which it parks in the driveway. This is less likely to damage concrete.

While it doesn't do a background check on all employees, it told us that it has in the past. However, for the most part, the team has remained so stable, with many members there for decades, that it hasn't needed to do so for quite some time.

Customer testimonial

Craftsman Home Improvements (CHI) worked with us and advocated with our insurance adjuster to shift what the adjuster deemed merely a roof repair to a needed roof replacement. CHI's experience and professionalism in this whole process was helpful. The recommended shingle color goes exceptionally well with our color siding. The crew did an incredible and thorough job on the roof, and they did a superb job in cleanup around the property, all the while being professional and courteous. Even when our insurance company bobbled the final installment, CHI was professional, gracious, and patient. If you're needing or considering roof replacement this year, I wholeheartedly commend them to you. Contact them today. - Brian S., Google Reviews (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Customer testimonial

We used Lakewood's Remodeling a decade ago for new roof and windows. Very pleasant to work with. The city inspector spoke highly of their excellence job. So we contacted them again this year for hail damage. Our insurance company was very tricky to deal with, but Shawn took care of everything for us. And we're beyond happy to learn that the same team of roofers who worked on our house 10+ years ago were coming to work on our roof. They did an extraordinary job again. They're definitely a trustworthy company. Highly recommended. - Jie R., Google Reviews (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Trinity Exteriors

Since 2007, Trinity Exteriors has served the Minneapolis area and beyond. Trinity's business practices are guided by three values: service, quality and integrity. Ted Swanson built the company with this ethos after turning away from a high-growth business model, rejecting his former business practices to focus on customer service that would build lasting trust in the community. Trinity Exteriors focuses on roofing, windows, siding and gutters, as well as repairs.

Trinity Exteriors does not provide aerial estimates and requires an in-person inspection before providing a quote for roof replacement. A representative from Trinity Exteriors told us that it works with customers to build a payment plan. Depending on the job size, a down payment of 30% to 50% is required, with the remaining amount due after the inspection.

Trinity was the only company we spoke to that doesn't charge a transaction fee for card payments. Paying by credit or debit card usually incurs a cost of between 2.5% and 5%, depending on the company and your location.

A Trinity roof comes with a manufacturer's warranty that will depend on the type of roof material you select, as well as a five-year workmanship warranty.

Services offered

• Residential roofing

• Residential roof repairs

If you're booking a reroof, expect a crew to arrive with a wheeled dump trailer parked in your driveway. Most roof replacements take one to two days to complete. The threat of rain can push back the schedule. If an unexpected storm appears, Trinity employees will tarp off the roof and wait for the weather to clear before completing the work.

While it doesn't do a background check on subcontractors, it does have a lengthy application process. Additionally, a project manager is always on site.

Trinity assured us that it's fine for homeowners to be on the property while the team works. It provides bilingual services in English and Spanish.

It's been just over a year since eRoof replaced our siding, roof and gutters after a storm damaged our house last year. The entire experience was painless. eRoof spent extra time working with us to get just the right unique colors and design that we wanted for the house and my wife and I were thrilled with the new look after everything was complete. The eRoof crews worked fast and did a great job. I highly recommend looking into eRoof if you need new siding, roof, or gutters. - Jason D., Google Reviews (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Minneapolis roofing FAQs

How often should I have my roof inspected, and how much do roof inspections cost in Minneapolis?

How much a roof inspection costs will vary dramatically based on the roofers you choose, your insurance and whether your home is under warranty.

It's a good idea to get your roof inspected after major storms, especially those that involve intense hail, which can damage and dislodge shingles. Thus, Minneapolis' prodigious winter storms can mean that you need to get your roof inspected more often. Choosing to schedule inspections after damaging storms has advantages, as many insurance companies are more likely to help finance repairs after major weather events. Read our guide to roof inspection costs for more information.

How do I know if my roof needs repairs or a full replacement?

Look for buckling shingles, water damage, sagging or missing shingles. If you notice that there are lots of missing shingles, it's likely time for a full roof replacement. If you only see a patch of shingle damage, you may be able to get by with repairs.

Most well-maintained roofs can last for 20 years. If your roof is showing signs of aging and is much past the 20-year mark, it's likely time to get it inspected and consider replacement.

Most reputable roofers will prompt you to schedule an inspection before providing a quote, although some may give you a rough estimate. Read more to learn more about costs for roof repairs and roof replacements to decide what's best for you.

Does homeowner's insurance cover roof repairs or replacement?

Oftentimes, homeowners' insurance will contribute to or outright cover repairs from damage caused by fire or extreme weather. However, wear and tear from age that occurs after the warranty is likely not covered. Check your homeowner's insurance policy for the specifics. Read our guide for more information about how to tell if your homeowners' insurance will cover roofing damage .

How long does a roof typically last in Minneapolis?

According to the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry , a properly cared-for shingle roof can last 20 years or more. Periodic inspections and repairs will greatly contribute to the longevity of your roof.

Some shingles can last longer. Class 4 shingles are resistant to hail. This can drastically increase their longevity, allowing them to last up to 50 years, according to Key Prime Roofing , a roofing contractor based in Golden Valley, Minn.

One of the benefits of metal roofs is that they can last much longer than shingle roofs. A well-built metal roof can last for 40 to 80 years, according to State Farm , a national home insurance company. This is significantly longer than the average life of a shingle roof and even exceeds that of Class 4 shingles.

How much does the average roof replacement cost in Minneapolis?

Full roof replacements vary dramatically. Many factors contribute to cost, including the presence of chimneys, gables, different gutters and whether your roof needs new decking. The services and warranties that other companies offer also dramatically alter the cost of a given roof job. Even roof types like asphalt shingles, which are considered one of the most affordable roofing types, can vary significantly in cost, with various classes and warranties contributing to the price differences. While many of the companies we spoke to do not provide aerial or ballpark quotes without an on-site inspection first, the few that did give us a ballpark figure quoted prices ranging from around $9,000 to $15,000.

According to Prominent Construction LLC , a Minneapolis commercial and residential roofing company, a residential single roof replacement in Minneapolis costs between $3,000 and $30,000, proving the cost really does vary by roof type, slope and size.

How long does it usually take to replace a roof in Minneapolis, and can you stay in your home during a roof replacement?

A few factors can speed up or delay a reroof job. However, most of the companies we spoke to in Minneapolis told us that replacing an average-sized asphalt shingle roof typically takes one to two days. A job can take longer depending on the size and complexity of a roof, as well as the materials you choose. Skylights, complex gables, chimneys and alternative roof types like metal can all add to the timeline.

The weather can affect how long a roofing job takes. Most companies we spoke to keep an eye on the weather and will delay the job rather than start on a day with a storm forecast. We recommend asking about a company's weather policy before scheduling them. Ensure that if weather delays your roofing job, you stay in line.

What is the best time of year to replace a roof in Minneapolis?

Minneapolis winters are no joke. With heavy snows and cold temperatures, winter months are generally less advantageous for a roof replacement. Instead, spring and autumn bring better working conditions. In spring and autumn, mild temperatures and moderate weather contribute to good working conditions. However, Minneapolis receives lots of rain in the autumn, so fall can be a tricky season to plan for.

With warm days into the 80s and long working hours, summer is the best season to plan a reroof, according to Prominent Construction LLC .

No matter the season, roofers keep an eye on the weather; if a sudden storm comes up, roofing companies keep tarps on hand for weatherproofing.

What questions should I ask a roofing contractor before hiring them?

Before you schedule a roofer, it's important to be clear about the details of your roofing job. You'll want to have questions prepared for roofers in advance of your consultation.

Ask roofers about their products and warranty policies and build a payment plan that works for you. Some of the roofers we spoke to in Minneapolis said that they're flexible with some of the payment details, including the downpayment structure and payment scheduling. For more ideas, our expert guide to what you should ask a roofer before hiring can help.

Is it better to hire a local Minneapolisroofing company instead of a national chain?

Our list of the best roofers in Minneapolis includes smaller roofing companies, family businesses and companies that service multiple states. There can be benefits to both. Often, smaller businesses provide greater flexibility, local knowledge and a personal touch. Local roofers are also more familiar with local building codes and permitting requirements. A national company is still a good choice, but it may not offer the same personalized experience that you get with a local roofer.

Are there local roofing regulations or permits required in Minneapolis?

Before work starts on your roof, you'll need a building permit. However, in almost all cases, reputable roofing companies will pull your permit for you once work is scheduled. Building permit fees will generally be figured into the price and passed on to the homeowner.

Even though roofing companies handle your permit, it's a good idea to be familiar with both the state of Minnesota roofing licensing laws and the city of Minneapolis' roofing regulations before work begins.
