Roof Replacement in Roseville, MN

Replacing Roofs on Roseville’s Post-War Homes

Most of Roseville was built between the 1940s and 1970s, and the 1950s were the city’s biggest decade for new homes. That means a lot of one-story ramblers and split-levels on roofs that are on their second or third replacement. On these homes we focus on:

• Attic ventilation. Many 1950s and ’60s homes were built with little roof ventilation. Poor airflow cooks shingles in summer and feeds ice dams in winter, so we check intake and exhaust and correct it as part of the new roof.
• Ice dams at the eaves. Every new roof gets ice and water barrier from the eave to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall, as the Minnesota Residential Code requires. We measure it on the job, like in the photo below.
• Chimneys and walls. Brick chimneys and roof-to-wall joints are where older roofs leak. We replace step, wall and chimney flashing instead of reusing old metal.
• Decking. We tear off to the deck, inspect every sheet and replace what’s soft or damaged before anything new goes on.

Built for Roseville’s Ramblers and Split-Levels

Roseville and neighboring Fridley were built out with the same 1950s to 1970s ramblers and split-levels, so the roofs we replace look a lot alike. On this split-level the crew tore off to the deck, installed ice and water barrier and new underlayment, then finished with multi-tone architectural shingles, new roof vents and fresh chimney flashing with a cricket behind it.

Was Your Roseville Roof Damaged in the June 2026 Hail?

On June 19, 2026, hail up to the size of half-dollars and golf balls hit Roseville, Shoreview, Fridley and parts of St. Paul, according to the Minnesota DNR. Hail that size can crack shingles and knock off granules even when nothing leaks yet. We inspect and photograph the damage for free and guide you through the claim. Under Minnesota law (Minn. Stat. 325E.66), no roofer can pay or waive your deductible. More: storm damage repair in Roseville

How Much Does a New Roof Cost in Roseville?

Most roof replacements we do cost $8,000 to $30,000. Roseville’s one-story ramblers usually have simpler roofs than larger two-story homes, so many land in the lower-to-middle part of that range. What moves the price:

• Roof size and shape: a simple rambler costs less than a split-level with several roof planes
• Layers to remove: older roofs sometimes have two layers, which adds tear-off labor
• Decking repairs found once the old roof is off
• Chimney and wall flashing, and any ventilation upgrades
• Material: asphalt shingles cost less up front; metal costs more but can last twice as long

The City of Roseville requires a permit for roofing work. Permits are applied for and tracked online, and the city requires a current contractor license and insurance on file before it issues one. We handle the application and schedule the inspection (why permits matter).

1. Free inspection of your roof and attic, with photos
2. Written, itemized quote with material options
3. Permit pulled by us with the City of Roseville
4. Install day: landscaping protected, full tear-off, decking repaired, new roof system installed, usually in 1–2 days
5. Cleanup and walkthrough: magnet sweep for nails, all debris hauled away
6. Final inspection and warranty paperwork for your materials and our 5-year workmanship warranty

We schedule replacements spring through fall. We don’t install in winter because it can void the shingle warranty.
