Complete Roofing Services in the Twin Cities
Minnesota's climate puts roofs through extremes no other region can match — brutal freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, hailstorms, and high winds. Whether you need a full replacement, storm damage repair, or new construction roofing, Garrett Construction manages the entire project from permit to final inspection.
Full Roof Replacement
Complete tear-off and replacement. Old shingles removed, decking inspected and repaired, proper underlayment and ice-and-water shield installed, and new shingles with manufacturer warranty. Most jobs completed in one day.
Storm Damage Roof Repair
Hail damage, wind-lifted shingles, and storm debris impact. We document all damage for insurance claims, attend adjuster meetings, and restore your roof to pre-loss condition. Most storm replacements are fully covered.
New Construction Roofing
Complete roofing systems for new home construction and additions. Proper ventilation, ice-and-water shield in all valleys and eaves, and code-compliant installation for Minnesota's climate zone.
Roof Leak Repair
Flashing failures, missing shingles, ice dam damage, and penetration leaks around chimneys, skylights, and vents. We find the source and fix it properly — not just patch over symptoms.
Impact-Resistant Shingles
Class 4 IR shingles qualify you for insurance premium discounts of 20–30% in Minnesota. We install Class 4 options from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Atlas and document the upgrade for your insurer.
Flat & Low-Slope Roofing
TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen flat roofing for commercial buildings, garage rooftops, and low-slope residential additions. Proper drainage design for Minnesota's heavy snow and spring rainfall.

Standing seam metal, stone-coated steel, and cedar shake for homeowners seeking premium longevity. Metal roofing lasts 40–70 years and handles Minnesota freeze-thaw cycles exceptionally well.
Why Proper Roofing Matters in Minnesota
Minnesota's climate demands more from a roof than almost anywhere else. Ice dams, freeze-thaw cycles, 130 MPH storm winds, and heavy snow loads all stress roofing systems. When roofing is combined with siding or storm damage restoration, Garrett Construction manages the full exterior scope under one contract.
Ice & Water Shield Installation
We install ice-and-water shield in all valleys, eaves, and penetrations — the critical layer that prevents ice dam water from entering your home during Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles.
Proper Attic Ventilation
Balanced intake and exhaust ventilation prevents ice dams, reduces cooling costs in summer, and extends shingle life by 10–15 years. We assess and correct ventilation on every replacement.
Decking Inspection & Repair
Every tear-off includes full decking inspection. Rotted or damaged sheathing is replaced before new shingles go down — no covering up problems that will cost you later.
Often Paired With Roofing
Storm damage and full home renovations often involve multiple exterior trades. Garrett Construction handles all of these under one contract.
Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing
How much does a roof replacement cost in Minneapolis?
A full roof replacement in the Twin Cities typically costs $8,000–$18,000 for an average-sized home, depending on complexity, pitch, shingle brand, and whether decking repairs are needed. Impact-resistant shingles add 10–20% to material costs but save significantly on insurance premiums over time. Contact us for a free itemized estimate.
How long does a roof last in Minnesota?
Standard 3-tab shingles last 15–20 years. Architectural shingles last 25–30 years. Premium impact-resistant shingles can last 30–50 years. Metal roofing lasts 40–70 years. Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles and hail exposure typically shorten lifespan compared to warmer climates.
Does my homeowner insurance cover roof replacement?
Most standard policies cover hail and wind damage. We provide free storm damage inspections, photograph all damage, and work directly with your insurance carrier as part of our insurance work and storm damage repair process. Most storm-damaged roof replacements are fully covered minus your deductible.
What are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles?
Class 4 is the highest impact-resistance rating for roofing shingles. In Minnesota's hail-prone climate, Class 4 shingles are strongly recommended — most insurance companies offer 20–30% premium discounts for homes with Class 4 roofs. We install Class 4 options from GAF, Owens Corning, Atlas, and CertainTeed.
What causes ice dams and how does roofing prevent them?
Ice dams form when heat escapes through the roof, melts snow, and refreezes at the cold eaves. Proper attic insulation, balanced ventilation, and ice-and-water shield are the three key defenses — we address all three on every replacement.
How long does roof replacement take?
Most standard residential roof replacements are completed in one day. Larger or more complex roofs may take 2 days. We stage all materials in advance and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your household.
