Your Local Roofing Contractor in Minneapolis
Total Home Exteriors serves Minneapolis homeowners from our base in Andover, MN, about 20 miles north. Minneapolis is the largest city in Minnesota and has the metro's oldest and most varied housing stock, which changes the exterior work substantially: century-old homes with steep pitches, complex roof lines, dormers, and original wood siding are common here in a way they are not in the outer suburbs. Steep and cut-up roofs take longer to tear off and re-roof than a simple suburban gable, and older sheathing frequently needs repair once the old layers come off. We handle roofing, siding, windows, insulation, gutters, and storm and hail damage across the city, and we quote what the roof actually is rather than a per-square average.
What makes a Minneapolis roof different from a suburban one?
Complexity and age. Many Minneapolis homes have steep pitches, multiple valleys, dormers, and additions added over decades — every one of those is a place water has to be managed and flashed correctly. A simple suburban ranch might be a one-day tear-off; a cut-up Minneapolis roof is often two to three days.
Older homes also frequently have board sheathing rather than modern plywood or OSB, and layers of previous roofing. We do not know what is under there until it is off, so we tell you up front how decking repair is handled rather than surprising you with it mid-job.
Do you replace original siding on older Minneapolis homes?
Yes, and it needs care. Older Minneapolis homes often have original wood siding, sometimes over sheathing that has taken decades of moisture. Once the cladding is off we inspect the wall assembly before anything new goes on, because covering compromised sheathing just hides the problem for a few years.
We install vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood, and steel. On character homes fiber cement is usually the closest match to the original profile while removing the maintenance burden of painted wood.
