Shoreview has one long-established roofer headquartered in town, and several more a few minutes away in Little Canada and New Brighton. Here’s how five established options compare, and how to sort them out.
Start with where they’re actually based. A contractor headquartered in or next to Shoreview can get a crew to your street faster and has a local reputation to protect, not just a service-area page that lists Shoreview among dozens of other cities.
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.

What a new roof costs in Shoreview
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.
Many Shoreview homes were built between 1960 and 1990, so a replacement is often a good time to fix attic ventilation and ice dam protection at the same time. Get at least two written, itemized quotes so you can compare the same scope of work.
The bottom line
If a Shoreview headquarters matters most, Four Seasons Energy Efficient Roofing is the established option based in town, and it’s the pick for flat or low-slope roofs. For the longest BBB accreditation, Austad Construction has held its since 2003. After the June 2026 hail and wind storms, Clear Choice Restoration’s storm focus is worth a look. And if you want manufacturer-backed warranty coverage from three brands, a metal roofing option, 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.
