Storm Damage Roof Repair in the Twin Cities
If hail or wind hit your home, Minnesota Commerce says to start by reporting the loss to your agent or carrier. Then get a free roof inspection and a same-day photo report documenting every bruise, crease and dented vent. We can be on the roof when your adjuster visits, to point at what we found and answer construction questions. If the roof reads as sound, you get that in writing with the photographs. Questions about your policy, your coverage or your deductible belong with your agent or your carrier, and we will say so every time.
Hail season in the Twin Cities runs roughly May through August, and when it hits, two things happen: your roof takes damage you can't see from the ground, and out-of-state storm chasers start knocking on doors. We're the other option. Roofs R Us has been in Blaine since 2000. We inspect, we document, we build, and we come back if something needs looking at. What we do not do is your insurance. Minnesota Statute 325E.66 bars a residential contractor from interpreting policy provisions, from advising an insured about coverage or about duties under a policy, and from adjusting a claim, unless that contractor is also licensed as a public adjuster. We are not, and a roofer telling you otherwise is worth a second look.
How Storm Work Goes, and Who Does What
- You report the loss. The Minnesota Department of Commerce says the first step after a loss is to call your insurance agent, or the insurance company directly if you do not have an agent. Its homeowner guidance is at mn.gov/commerce.
- We inspect and document. Every slope, with fall protection. We photograph every hail bruise, creased shingle and dented vent, check the flashing and the soft metals, look at the attic from underneath, and give you a written report that is yours to keep.
- We give you an itemized estimate. Tear-off, disposal, deck repair, underlayment, ice and water shield, flashing, ventilation, ridge, shingle and labor, line by line.
- We attend the adjuster visit if you want us there, to answer construction questions about the building. We do not argue the claim, interpret your policy or predict what your insurer will decide.
- We build it, clean it, and warranty it. Owens Corning materials, warranties up to 50 years, and a magnet sweep of your yard before we leave.
No Damage? Get It in Writing.
If our inspection finds your roof is fine, we will tell you so, and we will put it in writing with the photographs and the date. A dated record of your roof's condition is worth having in a drawer, and it costs you nothing. No storm chaser offers you that, because no storm chaser plans to be here next year.
Your Guarantees, In Writing
Every storm job comes with a written list of guarantees and your own homeowner's bill of rights, what we owe you, in plain language, before a single shingle moves.
How to Spot Hail and Wind Damage
- › Dents in gutters, downspouts, and soft metal vents (check these first, they're easiest to see)
- › Shingle granules piling up in gutters and at downspout exits
- › Black "bruises" on shingles that feel soft, like a bruised apple
- › Creased or flipped shingle tabs after high wind
- › Neighbors getting roofs replaced. Worth a look at your own roof, though a neighbor's damage neither proves nor rules out damage at your address
That list is not exhaustive. Hail often bruises a shingle rather than holing it, which is why so little of it shows from the ground, but larger or wind-driven stones can tear or puncture a shingle outright. After any hail event in Blaine, Coon Rapids, Andover, Ham Lake, or Anoka, get an inspection even if your roof "looks fine" from the driveway. Hail often does its damage without leaking straight away, so a roof that looks fine from the driveway is not evidence that it is.

Straight answers.
How do I know if my roof has hail damage?+
Look at the soft metal first: dents in gutters, downspouts and vents tell you stones of that size hit the house, which is a reason to have the shingles looked at closely. Then check for granules piling up at downspout exits, dark "bruises" that feel soft like a bruised apple, and creased or flipped tabs after high wind. Most hail damage isn't visible from the driveway, so after any hail event get a free roof inspection, you keep the photo report either way.
Will filing a claim raise my insurance premium?+
That is a question for your own agent or your carrier, and they are the only ones who can answer it for your policy. We are a roofing contractor, and Minnesota Statute 325E.66 does not permit us to advise you on coverage, on rates, or on your duties under a policy. What we can do is inspect the roof, photograph it, and put the condition in writing, whichever way it goes.
What should I do first after a storm?+
The Minnesota Department of Commerce says the first step is to call your insurance agent and report the loss, or the insurance company directly if you do not have an agent. After that Commerce says to make sure the area is safe, to take pictures or video before you start cleaning up, and to make temporary, inexpensive repairs to prevent further damage while keeping the receipts for materials. Anything about timing or duties under your own policy is a question for your agent.
What does a storm inspection involve?+
We get on every slope with fall protection and photograph every hail bruise, creased shingle and dented vent, check the flashing at chimneys, sidewalls and valleys, look at the soft metals, and go into the attic with a flashlight. You get a written report and an itemized estimate. If you want us on the roof when your adjuster visits, we will be there to answer construction questions. Then we build the work you hire us to do with Owens Corning materials, warranties up to 50 years, and a magnet sweep of your yard before we leave.
What will this cost me?+
The inspection and the itemized estimate are free. What you personally end up paying depends on your own policy, and your agent or carrier is the only party who can tell you that. We will not guess at it. If you choose upgrades beyond the roofing work in the estimate, we price those separately and put them in writing before any work starts, so nothing on the final invoice is a surprise.
