What Minneapolis weather does to roofs

Minneapolis roofs carry a lot of snow, with a normal season bringing about 54 inches and big winters going well past that, as in 2022-23 when the metro topped 70 inches by early March. When attic heat warms the roof deck, snow melts, runs down to the cold overhangs and refreezes into ice dams that can push water into the house. Summer thunderstorms bring hail, and an August 2023 storm damaged rooftops from Plymouth to St. Paul, including Minneapolis.

What your roof faces in Minneapolis

  • Heavy snow loads
  • Ice dams along eaves
  • Leaks and mold from trapped meltwater

Roof permits in Minneapolis

Minneapolis requires a building permit for all re-roofing work on one- and two-family homes, apart from small repairs using less than one bundle of shingles. A final inspection is required, and repairs to rafters or trusses need a separate permit and framing inspection.

  • An ice barrier is required on Minnesota homes, running parallel to the eave and reaching at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line.
  • A new shingle layer may go over only one existing layer, and only if the old roof is not water-soaked or deteriorated and the manufacturer allows it.
  • Overlays are not allowed on top of existing wood shakes, slate, clay, cement or asbestos-cement tile.

Permits are handled by the City of Minneapolis Construction Code Services (Community Planning & Economic Development). Ask your roofer whether the permit is included in the estimate.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Minneapolis?

Minneapolis requires a building permit for all re-roofing work on one- and two-family homes, apart from small repairs using less than one bundle of shingles. A final inspection is required, and repairs to rafters or trusses need a separate permit and framing inspection. Questions go to the City of Minneapolis Construction Code Services (Community Planning & Economic Development). Most roofing contractors in Minneapolis pull the permit for you; confirm this in your written estimate.

What causes the most roof damage in Minneapolis?

Minneapolis roofs carry a lot of snow, with a normal season bringing about 54 inches and big winters going well past that, as in 2022-23 when the metro topped 70 inches by early March. When attic heat warms the roof deck, snow melts, runs down to the cold overhangs and refreezes into ice dams that can push water into the house. Summer thunderstorms bring hail, and an August 2023 storm damaged rooftops from Plymouth to St. Paul, including Minneapolis. Common problems local roofers see include heavy snow loads, ice dams along eaves, leaks and mold from trapped meltwater and hail damage from summer storms.

Which parts of Minneapolis can I get a roofer in?

Calls are connected with roofing companies that serve Minneapolis, including Diamond Lake, Folwell, Jordan, Lyndale, Lynnhurst and McKinley, and nearby areas such as Saint Paul, Golden Valley and St. Louis Park.

Should I repair or replace my roof in Minneapolis?

If damage is limited to a small area, a repair is usually enough. If the roof is near the end of its life, has widespread storm damage or keeps leaking, replacement is often the better value. A local roofer can inspect it and give you a written estimate for both.
