Call (888) 349-0842Roof Repair for Minneapolis homes and buildings
When your roof is damaged or leaking, you want a local roofer who can look at the problem soon and explain it in plain words.
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.
Repairs in Minneapolis often follow 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 repair.

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.

Roof Repair in Minneapolis: questions
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.

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.

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?
It depends on the age of the roof and how widespread the damage is. Small, isolated problems on a roof in good shape are usually repaired. If damage is spread across the roof or the roof is near the end of its life, a roofer may suggest replacement.
How do I find roof repair contractors I can trust?
Ask for proof of licensing and insurance, a written estimate and warranty details. Be careful with anyone who pressures you to sign right away. Calling Roofing Captain connects you with a local roofer so you can start that conversation.
