Maple Grove roofing companies: what to expect from us

How we work

We inspect before we quote. Every estimate comes from the roof and the attic. If a roofer prices your replacement from the driveway with a satellite measurement and never opens the attic hatch, they haven't seen the decking, the insulation, the ventilation, or where the ice dam water went — and in this climate that's half the job.

We build for Minnesota. Ice-and-water membrane past code, synthetic underlayment, Class H wind-rated architectural shingles with six nails each, new flashing on every job, ridge and soffit ventilation that actually moves air, and standing-seam steel when steel is the answer. A roof that would be fine in Kansas City isn't good enough under 50 inches of snow.

We tell you when you don't need us. If a $350 pipe boot fixes it, that's the quote. If the roof has three more winters, we'll say so and see you then. If your ice dam is an insulation problem, we'll say that too, even though the roof is what we sell. If you searched roofer near me Maple Grove and landed here, the best thing we can do is be straight with you the first time.

We put it in writing. One page, itemized, good for 30 days. Materials named, warranty stated, permit and license number included.

Licensing and insurance in Minnesota

Minnesota requires any contractor who does roofing on a house to hold a license from the Department of Labor and Industry — either a residential building contractor license, which covers roofing along with the other trades, or a residential roofer license for roofing alone. To get one, a company has to have a qualifying person who passed the state exam, keep up continuing education, carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation, and pay into the state's Contractor Recovery Fund, which compensates homeowners when a licensed contractor fails to perform. We carry it and put the number on our paperwork.

You can look up any contractor at dli.mn.gov in about a minute — search the business name, check the license type and expiration, and look for any enforcement actions. If a roofer won't give you their license number, that tells you what you need to know. Ask for the certificate of insurance too; we'll send ours before a crew arrives. A roofer without workers' comp whose employee falls off your roof becomes your homeowners claim.

Minnesota also prohibits contractors from paying or rebating your insurance deductible, and gives you 72 hours to cancel a storm-damage contract if your insurer denies the claim. We follow both rules and expect anyone we compete with to do the same.

Residential and commercial

Most of our work is residential roofing Maple Grove wide — single-family homes, townhomes, and rental properties. We also handle the small commercial roofing Maple Grove businesses need: low-slope TPO, EPDM and modified bitumen on shops, offices, churches and small warehouses along Highway 169, the Arbor Lakes area and the 610 corridor. If a job is bigger than that, we'll say so and point you to someone who does large flat roofs all day.
