Roofing You Can Feel Good About For The WHole Family

A roofing contractor is a licensed professional responsible for the full scope of a residential roofing project, from the initial inspection through installation of every layer of the roofing system and the final walkthrough. The category covers work that ranges from targeted repairs on a structurally sound roof to complete tear offs and full system replacements. When you are looking for a roofing contractor in Maple Grove, you are looking for someone who assesses your specific roof and builds or repairs the system your home depends on to stay dry through every Minnesota season.

Roof Replacement: Sometimes a repair just won't cut it. The average roof lasts 20-25 years, and it can be useful to get the ball rolling sooner rather than later, so Today's Exteriors can help you plan for the inevitable replacement!
Roof Repairs: If your roof is old enough to drive, it's probably well past time to get it checked! Damage can often go unnoticed for years, and it's important to catch these problems early before manageable repairs can snowball into avoidable replacements.
Storm Damage Restoration: Two finish coats of a hard wearing enamel applied by spray for a smooth, factory level finish that brush and roll application simply cannot match.

Understanding Roofing Beneath The Shingles

The Homeowner's Guide To All Things Roofing In the Twin Cities

A roof is so much more than a bundle of shingles nailed down to plywood. A proper roofing installation is a system of layers working together, and the shingles you see from the street are only the outermost piece. Underneath sit the decking, the ice and water shield membrane, the ventilation system, and the flashing at every transition point, and each layer has a specific job that the others depend on. Skip or shortcut any one of them and the whole system's lifespan drops, even if the shingles themselves are top of the line. Minnesota's climate makes this especially unforgiving, since freeze thaw cycles, ice damming, and summer storm activity all stress test every layer differently throughout the year. Most roof failures that eventually show up as a leak inside your home actually started months or years earlier at a layer you never saw, not at the shingle surface itself. Understanding what is actually happening beneath the material you can see is what separates an informed homeowner from one who is simply trusting a number on an estimate.

Understanding The Individual Components Of An Effective Roofing System

The decking is where it starts: Everything installed above the roof deck depends on the deck being sound, flat, and properly nailed. When a contractor tears off a roof and skips a thorough decking inspection, soft spots and delaminated sheathing get covered instead of replaced. The new shingles may look fine for a year or two while the underlying failure continues. A professional job photographs the decking before anything goes over it and replaces every compromised section before proceeding.
Ice and water shield placement determines winter performance: Minnesota building code requires ice and water shield membrane at the eaves and valleys, extending a minimum of 24 inches up from the eave. What most homeowners do not know is that the code minimum is a starting point, not a ceiling. On steep pitch roofs and in areas with a history of ice damming, experienced contractors extend this membrane further up the roof plane to cover the full eave overhang.
Ventilation is the most neglected component: Balanced intake at the soffits and exhaust at the ridge, providing at least one square foot of net free vent area per 150 square feet of attic floor space, is what keeps heat and moisture from getting trapped. Inadequate ventilation shortens shingle life, causes ice dams, and can void manufacturer warranties. A roof replacement that does not evaluate ventilation leaves the root cause of many common failures in place.
Flashings are the most common source of leaks: The places where the roof meets a wall, chimney, dormer, or plumbing stack are the most vulnerable points in any roofing system. Improperly installed or skipped flashing is the most frequent reason a new roof leaks within the first year. Every transition point should be evaluated and every compromised flashing replaced as part of a complete roof replacement.

When It Makes Sense To Get Your Roof Inspected

Late spring through early fall is the productive window: Minnesota's roofing season runs roughly May through October, with the peak backlog building from June onward as storm season arrives. Scheduling in May or September often means shorter lead times and more flexibility, while contractor availability compresses significantly after a major storm affects multiple neighborhoods at once.
If your roof is 15 to 20 years old: A regular, pre-winter inspection is always a good idea. Architectural shingles typically carry a 25 to 30 year manufacturer lifespan, but real performance depends heavily on how ventilation was set up and how the original installation handled flashing and decking. Granule loss in the gutters, surface cracking, or curling edges are signs the remaining protective capacity is declining.
After a significant hail or wind event: The inspection window matters. Hail damage compromises the granule layer that protects the asphalt from UV degradation, and the damage is often invisible from the ground, progressing over the following months. Most insurance policies have a claim filing window, which is why acting soon after a storm, not months later, protects your ability to file.

Common questions Your Neighbors Are asking

How much is a new roof going to cost?

Most roof replacements in the Maple Grove area fall somewhere between $13,500 and $19,000 for a standard residential home, depending on roof size, pitch, and the material you select. Architectural shingles are the current standard and replace the older three-tab style.

How do I know if I have hail damage on my roof?

Hail-damage presents as a small divot in your shingles, eroding the protective granule based coating, and "bruising" the underlying matting. It can be helpful to think of it as similar to a bruise in an apple, meaning it's also hard to see without getting up close! If you've experienced a recent storm, it's almost always best to schedule a free inspection.

How LOng WIll It Take To Replace my Roof?

Our professional crew completes most standard roof replacements in a single day. The advantage of a one-day completion is straightforward: your home is not exposed to weather overnight between tear-off and installation. The timeline depends on roof size, pitch, and the extent of any decking repairs discovered during the job.
