If you live in Shoreview, White Bear Lake, North Oaks, or Arden Hills, your roof works harder than most. Minnesota’s freeze–thaw cycles, hailstorms, and humidity test every shingle and nail. The typical asphalt roof here lasts about 20 to 25 years, while metal roofs can reach 40 to 70. But material alone doesn’t tell the story — ventilation, attic moisture, and tree cover all shorten or stretch that lifespan.
What many homeowners don’t realize is that insurance companies now weigh roof age heavily. Once your roof passes the 15- to 20-year mark, premiums can rise and renewals can get tricky. Acting before damage or leaks appear isn’t vanity — it’s strategy.
And when hail hits, it’s not minor. In 2022, Minnesota saw over $6 billion in property losses from storms, with the Twin Cities alone topping a billion in 2023. Every dent and missing shingle represents real money and real peace of mind.
Your takeaway: a well-maintained roof isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s a shield for your family’s comfort and your financial protection.
At Owl Roofing, we’re proud of being the company that says, “You don’t need a new roof yet.”
If your shingles are mostly intact and your structure is sound, a smart repair can extend your roof’s life by years. Re-sealing flashing, replacing a few shingles, or fixing localized leaks often prevents bigger problems.
Replacement becomes the right call when your roof’s over 20 years old, when hail or wind has torn through multiple slopes, or when shingles are curling and shedding granules. In those cases, patching just delays the inevitable.
We approach every inspection with one goal: tell you the truth. That’s why we offer free second opinions and explain every option plainly. We’d rather build a decade-long relationship than rush a one-day sale.
Choosing the right roofer isn’t about finding the cheapest estimate — it’s about finding the most dependable communicator. A trustworthy contractor gives you clarity at every stage: written scope, named day-of contact, realistic timelines, and respect for your property.
Watch for vague “allowances,” pressure tactics after storms, or anyone who can’t show you local references. Those are signs of chaos waiting to happen.
Our process is deliberately calm and structured: inspection, written proposal, clear next steps, and daily communication. When your roof is being opened up, silence is never golden — updates are. That’s how we protect both your nest and your sanity.
When storms roll through Ramsey County, it’s easy to feel lost in the insurance maze. Here’s the simple version: document first, call a reputable roofer second, and file your claim third.
After a storm, take photos from the ground and from inside your attic. Then call a licensed local roofer for a free inspection — one who’s comfortable explaining claim steps but doesn’t claim to be your adjuster. (We never do.)
If a claim makes sense, file it quickly. Many insurers limit claim windows to 6–12 months after a storm. When the adjuster visits, we can walk the property together and make sure they see what we see — with integrity and transparency.
One overlooked factor: Minnesota homeowners’ premiums are expected to rise about 15 % in 2025, and insurers are tightening requirements on aging roofs. Replacing or repairing before major issues appear can actually protect your coverage.
In short: honesty, timing, and thorough documentation save you money.
