No roofing companies are headquartered in North Oaks itself, so homeowners here hire from the surrounding cities, and White Bear Lake has a strong bench of long-running roofers. North Oaks homes also tend to be larger, with complex roofs, and every roof replacement needs North Oaks Home Owners’ Association architectural review before work begins. Here’s how to sort your options out.
Start with where they’re actually based. A contractor based a few minutes away in White Bear Lake or Shoreview can get a crew to your property quickly and has a local reputation to protect. For North Oaks, also ask whether they have handled NOHOA architectural review submissions before.
Then check BBB accreditation, not just star ratings. Star ratings can be bought or gamed; a BBB rating reflects how a company handles complaints when something actually goes wrong, which is the moment that matters. Accreditation also means the company has agreed to the BBB’s standards, and the year it was granted tells you how long it has kept them.
Then look at how long they’ve actually operated. Minnesota roofing sees a wave of storm-chasing crews after every major hail event — companies that show up for a season and disappear once the insurance payouts dry up. A company with a decade-plus track record has weathered enough Minnesota winters to know what they’re doing.
Here’s how five established options compare:
| Company | Based in | BBB | Years in business |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ascension Roofing & Siding | Isanti, MN | A+ | 15+ |
| Midwest Exteriors MN | White Bear Lake, MN | A+ | 32 |
| Bruggeman Exteriors and Roofing | White Bear Lake, MN | A+ | 55+ |
| Bear Roofing & Exteriors | White Bear Lake, MN | A+ | 26 |
| Pro 1 Construction | White Bear Lake, MN | A+ | 24 |

What a new roof costs in North Oaks
Typical residential roof replacements in the Twin Cities run approximately $8,000 to $30,000. Where your home lands in that range depends on:
- Roof size and pitch. Steeper roofs take more labor and safety equipment.
- Tear-off. How many layers are coming off, and whether damaged decking needs replacing once they do.
- Material. Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common choice; metal, cedar and synthetic shake cost more.
- Details. Skylights, chimneys, valleys and ventilation upgrades.
- Permits and code. City permit fees and required items like the ice barrier at the eaves.
North Oaks homes tend to be larger, with more complex roofs, valleys and skylights, so many projects land at the top of that range or above it. Get at least two written, itemized quotes so you can compare the same scope of work.
The bottom line
For North Oaks’ larger and more complex roofs, Midwest Exteriors and Bruggeman are both GAF Master Elite, GAF’s top residential tier, and Bruggeman lists cedar and slate work. Midwest Exteriors has held BBB accreditation the longest, since 1999. And if you want manufacturer-backed warranty coverage from three brands, a metal roofing option, help with your NOHOA submission, and 500+ reviews across three platforms, Ascension Roofing & Siding’s combination of an A+ BBB rating and three manufacturer certifications is hard to match on this list.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check whether a roofer is licensed in Minnesota?
Residential roofers in Minnesota must be licensed by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI). Before you sign a contract, look up the company’s name or license number with the DLI’s online license lookup. Ascension Roofing & Siding’s Minnesota license number is BC753558.
How can I spot a storm chaser after a hail storm?
Warning signs include no local office address, a very new business history on the BBB, out-of-state license plates, pressure to sign the same day, and asking you to sign over your insurance claim before you’ve seen a written estimate. Established local roofers will give you time to compare quotes.
Which roofing companies are based in North Oaks, MN?
None of the established roofers we found are headquartered in North Oaks. Midwest Exteriors MN, Bruggeman Exteriors and Roofing, Bear Roofing & Exteriors and Pro 1 Construction are all based in White Bear Lake, and Ascension Roofing & Siding is based in Isanti. All of them serve North Oaks.
Do I need HOA approval to replace my roof in North Oaks?

Most single-family roof replacements take one to three days, depending on the size of the roof, how many layers come off, and the weather.
