Need a commercial roofing company for an office, retail center, warehouse, or apartment building?
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.
Roofs in Minneapolis have to stand up to heavy snow loads, ice dams along eaves, leaks and mold from trapped meltwater and hail damage from summer storms. Mention what happened to your roof when you call, so you are connected with a roofer who handles that kind of project.

Do Minneapolis roof repairs need a permit?
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.
Check with the City of Minneapolis Construction Code Services (Community Planning & Economic Development) if you are unsure.

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.

Which parts of Minneapolis can I get a roofer in?

How do I choose a commercial roofing company?
Start by confirming licensing, insurance, and experience with your roof type. Ask for a written proposal that lists materials, scope, and warranty terms. Comparing more than one proposal helps you spot gaps or vague line items.
What is the difference between commercial and industrial roofing contractors?
Commercial roofers mainly serve offices, stores, and multifamily buildings. Industrial roofing contractors focus on factories, plants, and large warehouses, where roofs may carry heavy equipment and face harsher conditions. Many companies do both.
