Ascension Roofing & Siding replaces and repairs roofs across Princeton, from the older homes in the center of town to the newer neighborhoods on the southwest side. We’re based nearby in Isanti, we’ve replaced more than 700 roofs, and we’ve been doing this since 2007.
Roof Replacement in Princeton
Princeton is mostly owner-occupied (about 16 percent of households rent), and the median home was built in 1985, with the oldest homes in the center of town and the newest to the southwest (BestNeighborhood). Most of those homes are on their second roof or due for one.
What a replacement with us includes:
- Free inspection of the roof and attic, with photos of what we find.
- A written price for the whole job, not a per-square number.
- Permits handled. We pull any permit the City of Princeton requires and schedule the inspection.
- Full tear-off to the deck, with soft or rotted decking replaced, not covered.
- Ice and water barrier from the eaves to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall, per Minnesota code.
- Attic ventilation corrected, so the roof isn’t cooked from underneath and ice dams have less to work with.
- New step and wall flashing, never reused.
- Townhomes and associations welcome. We’ve replaced roofs on multiple buildings for a homeowners association and can coordinate with your board.
- One to two days on site for most homes, then a magnetic nail sweep and full cleanup.
- 5-year workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer’s material warranty.
Hail and Storm Damage in Princeton
There have been 35 hail reports within ten miles of Princeton since 2004, with May the most active month, plus 90 damaging-wind reports and 6 tornadoes in the area. The most recent nearby hail fell on June 12, 2024 (Stormersite). Hail damage often isn’t visible from the ground: the shingles look fine but the mat underneath is bruised, and the roof fails a few years later.
We inspect, photograph and document what’s actually there. If you have a real claim, we’ll meet your adjuster at the house and help with the paperwork. If you don’t, we’ll tell you so. See our storm damage repair page.
Shingle Roof Repair
Blown-off shingles, a leaking pipe boot, or a drip at a chimney or vent can usually be repaired. We take small jobs and tell you honestly when a repair is the smarter move.
Metal Roofing in Princeton
A metal roof sheds snow, stands up to hail and wind, and commonly lasts 40 to 70 years. We install standing seam, metal and stone-coated shingles, and exposed-fastener panels for homes, shops and outbuildings. See our metal roofing page.

Princeton Roofing FAQs
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Princeton?
We pull any permit the City of Princeton requires for your project and handle the inspection, so you don’t have to.
How much does a new roof cost in Princeton?
Most residential roof replacements run roughly $8,000 to $30,000, depending on the size and pitch of the roof, how many layers come off, decking repairs and the material you choose. You’ll get one written price after a free inspection. Financing is available through Service Finance.
Do you work with homeowners associations?
Yes. We’ve done multi-building projects for associations and can provide the written quotes, insurance certificates and scheduling your board needs.
A tree fell on my roof. What do I do?
Call us. We’ll tarp it to stop water getting in, document the damage for your insurance company, and handle the repair or replacement.
Should I file an insurance claim after hail?
Get an inspection first. Hail damage often isn’t visible from the ground, and filing a claim with nothing to find isn’t worth it. We’ll document what’s there and tell you either way.
Can you replace my roof in the winter?
We don’t install roofs in Minnesota winter. Shingles need warmth to seal properly, and cold installs can void the warranty. We’ll tarp and make emergency repairs and schedule the replacement for spring.
