Roof Replacement in Minnetonka, MN

A roof replacement is the biggest exterior project most homeowners ever take on, and it should be treated that way. We inspect first, explain what we find, and only then talk about materials and scope.

What you can expect

When a roof in Minnetonka is past the point where repairs make sense, a full replacement is the honest answer. That means a complete tear-off down to the decking, not a layover of new shingles on top of old problems. We check the decking for rot or soft spots, correct ventilation issues, and replace flashing around chimneys, valleys and skylights before a single shingle goes down.

We walk you through material options before we ever cut anything. Asphalt is the most common choice for Minnesota homes and holds up well for the price. Metal and synthetic cost more up front but last longer and handle wind and hail differently. We'll tell you what fits your roof, your budget, and how long you plan to stay in the house.

Tear-off day is loud and messy by nature, so we protect your landscaping, stage a dumpster, and keep the yard as clean as a roofing job allows. You'll know the schedule going in and we'll tell you if weather or a decking surprise changes it.

Ventilation gets more attention during a replacement than people expect. Minnesota attics need balanced intake and exhaust to avoid ice dams in winter and heat damage to shingles in summer. If your current setup is undersized or blocked, we fix it while the roof is already open.

Once the new roof is on, we walk it with you before calling the job done. You should be able to see what you paid for, not just take our word for it.

Every replacement is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee, and we'll go through manufacturer warranty options for whichever material you choose so you know exactly what's covered and for how long.

Where we work

Roof Replacement in Minnetonka, MN and the west metro

We handle full roof replacements across Minnetonka and the lake communities around it, including Wayzata, Excelsior, Deephaven, Orono, Mound, Minnetrista, Shorewood, Tonka Bay and Spring Park. Lakefront homes in these areas often have steeper rooflines and more tree cover, which factors into how we plan the tear-off and material staging.

We also replace roofs in Long Lake, Hopkins, Eden Prairie, Plymouth and Chanhassen. If storms have hit several of these areas at once, which happens often in this part of Minnesota, we're frequently already on a nearby street and can get your inspection scheduled quickly.

Questions we get

Roof Replacement FAQ

How do I know if I need a full roof replacement instead of a repair?

Widespread granule loss, curling or cracked shingles across multiple slopes, soft decking, or damage from more than one storm usually point to replacement being the better long-term call. We inspect the whole roof and show you what we find before recommending either option.

How long does a roof replacement take in Minnetonka?

Most single-family homes are a one to a few day job once the crew is on site, depending on roof size, pitch and how much decking needs repair. We give you a schedule up front and flag anything that changes it, like weather or hidden rot.

What's the difference between asphalt, metal and synthetic shingles?

Asphalt is the most affordable and common choice in Minnesota. Metal costs more up front but handles decades of weather and holds up well against hail in some profiles. Synthetic shingles mimic the look of slate or cedar with different durability and price points. We'll go through what fits your roof and budget.

Will you fix ventilation and flashing during the replacement?

Yes. Ventilation and flashing are part of a proper replacement, not an upsell. We check both as part of the tear-off and correct issues while the roof is already open.

What guarantee comes with a new roof?

We back our workmanship with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and we'll walk the finished roof with you. Manufacturer material warranties vary by product, and we review those options with you during the estimate.
