Frequently Asked Questions
Most residential roof replacements in Minnesota are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex roofs may take two days depending on size, pitch, and weather conditions.
Most residential roof replacements in Minnesota range from $15,000 to $27,000. The final cost depends on roof size, complexity, shingle selection, and whether any damaged decking needs to be replaced. We provide detailed estimates after a complimentary inspection.
A quality architectural shingle roof installed correctly typically lasts 25 to 30 years in Minnesota. Impact-resistant Class 4 shingles can last longer and hold up better against hail and severe weather.
If your roof was damaged by hail, wind, or another covered weather event, your homeowners insurance may cover a full replacement minus your deductible. Damage from normal wear and aging is generally not covered. We offer complimentary inspections and can help you understand what we are seeing before you decide whether to file a claim.
Impact-resistant Class 4 shingles are the best option for Minnesota homeowners. Products like the Owens Corning Duration Flex, Malarkey Vista, and GAF Timberline AS II offer superior hail resistance and can qualify for insurance discounts with many providers.
Many insurance carriers in Minnesota offer discounts of 20 to 30 percent for homes with Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. Savings vary by carrier and policy. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to confirm what discounts apply to your policy.
Ice and water shield is a self-adhering waterproof membrane installed under your shingles along the eaves and in the valleys of your roof. Minnesota building code requires it to be installed two feet past the interior warm wall on all eaves. It is a critical layer of protection against ice dams and water infiltration during freeze-thaw cycles.
Yes. First Impressions Exteriors pulls all required permits and coordinates final permit closeout inspections with the city after the project is complete.
No. You do not need to be home, though you are welcome to stay. If you are away, we ask that vehicles be moved from the driveway before the crew arrives and that someone is reachable by phone in case any questions come up during the project.
Age, extent of damage, and the condition of the roof deck are the biggest factors. A roof that is 20 or more years old with widespread shingle damage, granule loss, or active leaks is typically a better candidate for full replacement. A complimentary inspection will give you a clear answer specific to your home.
