Quick answers
What Minnetonka homeowners usually want to know first
What does an inspection cover?
Roof surfaces, flashing, penetrations, ventilation, drainage and visible storm effects across the exterior.
How long does roofing take?
Many asphalt-shingle replacements take one or two working days once materials, permits and weather are ready.

Local know-how
Built for Minnetonka homes
Minnetonka’s wooded lots and varied home designs call for careful planning around roof geometry, window openings and water management. We inspect how roofing, flashing, siding and windows connect before recommending a scope.
Direct answer
Repair or replace: what usually decides it?
The right answer depends on how widespread the problem is and how much service life remains.
| Condition | Repair may make sense | Replacement may make sense |
|---|---|---|
| Area affected | One leak, vent, flashing point or small shingle area | Wear, leaks or storm impact across several roof areas |
| Roof condition | Surrounding shingles and decking are still serviceable | Brittle shingles, repeated repairs or aging materials |
| Next step | Document the isolated cause and repair the full weak point | Compare a complete written scope and material options |
After hail or high winds
Storm damage does not always look the same across shingles, siding, windows, gutters and metal. We document the exterior, explain the difference between storm impact and normal wear, and help you decide what to do next. If a claim makes sense, we can meet the adjuster and help document the full scope.

Minnetonka roofing FAQs
Straight answers to common planning questions.
How much does roof replacement cost?
For Minnetonka homes, the final price depends on roof size and shape, access, existing layers, decking, ventilation, flashing and materials. We provide a written scope after the inspection.
Do you repair roofs or only replace them?
For Minnetonka homes, we do both. An isolated flashing, vent or shingle problem may call for a repair. Widespread wear or repeated leaks may make replacement the better long-term choice.
How long will the project take?
For Minnetonka homes, many asphalt-shingle projects take one or two working days. Complex designs, specialty materials or deck repairs can add time.
Are permits required in Minnetonka?
For Minnetonka homes, yes. Minnetonka says roofing, siding and window work requires a building permit. We coordinate the permit and inspection steps for the approved scope.
What should a Minnetonka roofing estimate include?
For Minnetonka homes, look for a measured scope covering tear-off, underlayment, ice and water protection, ventilation, flashing, disposal, permits, warranties and how hidden deck damage will be handled.
Why should roof and window work be planned together?
For Minnetonka homes, both depend on correct flashing and water management. Reviewing them together helps prevent gaps where roofing, walls and window openings meet.
What happens if damaged decking is found?
For Minnetonka homes, hidden decking conditions may only appear after tear-off. We document affected areas, explain the repair and confirm the added scope before new roofing covers it.
