Roof Replacement in Minneapolis
Our Services
Full roof replacement for aging, leaking, and storm-damaged roofs
A roof replacement is usually the right choice when repairs are no longer enough to protect the home. That may include widespread shingle damage, recurring leaks, hail impact, granule loss, soft decking, poor ventilation, or an older roof that is nearing the end of its useful life.
Older homes, winter weather, hail, and freeze-thaw cycles all matter
Roof replacement in Minneapolis is different from replacing a roof in a milder climate. Many homes in the city are older, which means the roof may have older decking, layered roofing history, ventilation problems, outdated flashing, or previous repair work hidden under the shingles.
Minneapolis roofs also deal with snow load, ice dams, hail, wind, humidity, and constant freeze-thaw movement. That movement can expose weak points around chimneys, valleys, skylights, dormers, low-slope sections, and roof-to-wall transitions.
Older homes: We check decking, ventilation, flashing, and signs of trapped moisture.
Freeze-thaw cycles: We pay close attention to vulnerable transitions, valleys, and leak-prone details.
Ice dams: We look at ventilation, insulation concerns, and proper underlayment protection.
Hail and wind: We inspect for functional damage, not just obvious missing shingles.
Storm Damage Roof Replacement
Hail, Wind, and Insurance
When storm damage leads to a full replacement
Minneapolis and the Twin Cities regularly see hail, wind, and severe summer storms. Sometimes the damage is obvious, like missing shingles or active leaks. Other times, hail bruising, fractured shingles, lifted tabs, or damaged flashing can shorten the roof’s lifespan even if the roof looks fine from the ground.
If storm damage is present, we document the damage thoroughly, meet directly with insurance adjusters, and advocate for homeowners throughout the claim process. Our goal is to help ensure qualifying damage is properly identified and fairly covered.

Choose the right roof system for your Minneapolis home

Our Roof Replacement Process
What to Expect
A clear process from inspection to final cleanup
A roof replacement is a major project, but the process should feel clear and organized. We inspect the roof, explain the options, provide a written estimate, help select materials, protect the property, remove the old roofing, inspect the decking, install the new system, and clean up thoroughly before the final walkthrough.
1. Free inspection: We inspect shingles, flashing, valleys, ventilation, exterior, decking concerns, and storm damage.
2. Written estimate: You get clear replacement options with no-obligation pricing.
3. Material selection: We help you choose shingles, colors, warranties, and upgrades.
4. Tear-off and install: The old roof is removed and the new system is installed. Most replacements finish same day.
5. Cleanup: We clean the yard, driveway, and landscaping areas
6. Final walkthrough: We review the work and answer questions before closing the project.
Roof Replacement Cost in Minneapolis
Clear Pricing
Roof replacement prices vary by home, roof system, and project details
Roof replacement costs in Minneapolis vary based on the roof size, pitch, material, decking condition, ventilation, and overall project complexity. The chart shown here is a general pricing guide based on real eRoof project data from 2024–2025, but every roof replacement is different and your actual price may be lower or higher depending on the home and roofing system.
Roof size and pitch: Larger and steeper roofs require more labor, materials, and safety setup.
Material choice: Asphalt shingles are most common, while metal and specialty systems usually cost more.
Decking condition: Damaged or soft decking may need to be replaced during tear-off.
Ventilation and flashing: Proper roof performance depends on more than shingles alone.
Insurance expertise: We know how to properly document storm damage, meet with adjusters, and fight for homeowners to receive the coverage they deserve.
eRoof is built around quality roofing work, strong communication, and a better homeowner experience. For roof replacement projects, credentials matter because the installation details, warranty system, and contractor accountability all affect the long-term performance of the roof.

Roof Replacement FAQs
In Minneapolis, most asphalt shingle roofs last around 15-30 years depending on the material, installation quality, ventilation, storm exposure, and overall maintenance. Minnesota weather is especially tough on roofing systems because of freeze-thaw cycles, hail, ice dams, heavy snow, and strong temperature swings throughout the year.
Most shingle roofs in Minneapolis last between 15 and 30 years. Architectural shingles typically last longer and perform better against wind and hail than older 3-tab shingles. Roof ventilation, attic insulation, storm damage history, and proper installation all play a major role in how long the roof lasts.
A properly installed metal roof in Minneapolis can often last 40-70+ years. Metal roofing performs extremely well in Minnesota because it handles snow, ice, freeze-thaw cycles, and harsh weather conditions very effectively while requiring relatively low maintenance over time.
A repair may be enough for isolated damage or a smaller leak, but a full roof replacement is often recommended when there is widespread shingle damage, recurring leaks, storm damage, major granule loss, soft decking, ventilation issues, or the roof is nearing the end of its expected lifespan. A professional inspection can help determine which option makes the most sense.
Roof replacement cost in Minneapolis depends on roof size, pitch, material type, layers being removed, ventilation upgrades, flashing details, and whether decking repairs are needed. Storm damage, insurance involvement, and the type of shingles or roofing system selected can also impact pricing. Older Minneapolis homes sometimes require additional work due to aging decking, ventilation problems, or complex roof layouts.
Yes. Hail damage can shorten the lifespan of a roof by damaging shingles, knocking off protective granules, cracking materials, or weakening the roof system over time. In some cases, the damage is severe enough that a full roof replacement is the best long-term solution, especially if the roof is already older or has widespread storm-related issues.
Architectural asphalt shingles and metal roofing are two of the most popular choices for Minneapolis homes because they perform well against snow, hail, wind, ice dams, and freeze-thaw cycles. The best option depends on the home, budget, roof pitch, appearance goals, and how long the homeowner plans to stay in the property.
Yes, roof replacement can still be completed during winter in Minnesota, although weather conditions may affect scheduling and installation methods. Experienced roofing contractors can safely replace roofs during colder months when conditions allow, while taking extra care with materials, sealing, and snow or ice management.
Ice dams are usually caused by heat escaping from the attic and uneven roof temperatures during winter. As snow melts and refreezes near the roof edge, ice can build up and trap water behind it. Minneapolis homes are especially prone to ice dams because of heavy snowfall, freezing temperatures, older insulation systems, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles throughout the winter.
Yes. Proper roof ventilation is extremely important in Minnesota because it helps regulate attic temperature and moisture levels throughout the year. Poor ventilation can contribute to ice dams, trapped moisture, mold growth, higher energy costs, and premature roof aging. During a roof replacement, ventilation should be evaluated along with the shingles and roofing materials themselves.
Yes. Many older Minneapolis homes have aging decking, outdated ventilation systems, multiple roofing layers, older flashing details, or unique architectural features that require additional attention during roof replacement. Chimneys, dormers, valleys, and older attic systems can all affect how the roof performs over time, especially during Minnesota winters.
Roof replacement warranties can vary depending on the roofing material, manufacturer, and contractor. Many systems include both manufacturer warranties covering roofing materials and workmanship warranties covering installation quality. Enhanced warranty options may also be available through certified contractors such as GAF Master Elite roofing companies.
Our Minneapolis Roof Replacement Reviews

Minneapolis, MN
I recently bought my first house and of course it came with a roof that needed replacing (30+ years old!)
I contacted Garret to support on the project. He and the team at eRoof were very supportive throughout the entire project, thoroughly explaining everything and efficiently getting the project completed. I have nothing but great things to say about the process and final product with eRoof. In fact, a neighbor of mine also commented on how professional and respectful the team was while working on the roof, they cleaned up incredibly well, no stray nails or waste. Highly recommend the eRoof team!

⤷ Owner’s Reply Thank you for the kind words, Allison! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your experience with us! Please refer eRoof to your friends and neighbors in Minneapolis.
Did a great job on the roof of our older home, including some specialized work around our chimney. Great communication throughout, and after work was done they quickly came back to fix small issues (bent gutter, knocked off plaster in attic from hammering). Professional and trustworthy.
⤷ Owner’s Reply Thank you for your review, Seth. We enjoyed working with you and your new GAF Timberline shingles look great!! We truly appreciate you choosing eRoof and recommending us to your friends and neighbors in Minneapolis!
If you're on the market for a new roof, be sure to consider eRoof for your project. They are fast, reliable and truly stand behind their work. I can't recommend or thank them enough, your home is in good hands with eRoof.
Here's our experience.
eRoof did a full replacement of our flat/low pitch roof late in the fall after we noticed some leaking. As we decided to replace it out of our own pockets, we wanted to be sure the company we chose for our project was perfect for the job. Their pricing is very competitive and the conversations and planning we did with Tyler made eRoof be our first choice. They completed our roof replacement very quickly and the cleanup was great. It not only looks wonderful but no more leaking and they replaced some rotted wood while they were at it.
Come spring when the snow melted, we noticed the drainage from our new roof was not going to work long term. We contacted Tyler at eRoof, he listened to our concerns, came up with a solution and made sure we were 100% satisfied with our product even months after the job was completed. This company stands behind their product and their commitment to making sure their customers are top priority. This is the kind of company you want to hire when the integrity of your home is on the line.
Thank you again to everyone at eRoof, 10/10 would recommend to anyone!
My experience working with eRoof to replace my roof was genuinely seamless. Teddy was my main point of contact throughout the process. He was clear, straightforward and just a super nice guy.
eRoof hit all of their timelines exactly as scheduled. The crew and their supervisor Edgar were super professional and efficient on install day. Install was done in a day, gutters the following day.
I sure hope I don't need a new roof anytime soon, but if I ever do I would be happy to with with them again.

Tyler handled everything from my hail damage insurance claim. He dealt with the insurance company and interpreted everything for me. I couldn't understand the insurance company claim so he just did everything and all I had to do was agree and sign. Best help I could have had. This plus his team was so professional, thorough, and clean. Perfect job!!!!
