Honest Exteriors provides residential roof repair for homeowners across Eden Prairie and the Twin Cities metro. We find the source of the problem, fix it right the first time, and give you a straight answer on whether a repair will hold or a replacement makes more sense.

Not every roof issue requires a full replacement. We don't upsell — if a targeted repair is the right call, we'll tell you that and price it honestly.

What We Fix

Common Roof Repair Issues

Roof Leaks
Water intrusion around chimneys, skylights, vents, or along valleys. We find the actual source — not just where the water appears — and seal it properly.
Missing or Damaged Shingles
Wind, hail, and age can crack, curl, or blow off shingles. We replace damaged shingles and inspect surrounding areas for secondary damage.
Flashing Failures
Failed or improperly installed flashing around chimneys, walls, and vents is one of the most common sources of leaks. We reseal or replace flashing to stop water entry at the source.
Storm & Hail Damage
Hail bruises shingles and wind lifts them. After a storm, we inspect and repair damaged areas — and document everything for your insurance claim if needed.
Sagging or Soft Spots
Soft spots on the roof deck indicate moisture damage to the underlying structure. We assess the extent of damage and repair or replace the affected decking.
Ventilation & Ice Dam Issues
Poor attic ventilation causes ice dams in Minnesota winters, leading to leaks and shingle damage. We address the root cause, not just the symptoms.

4
Documentation

Making the Right Call

Repair or Replace? Here's How We Think About It

Repair makes sense when...
  • The damage is isolated to a specific area
  • The roof is less than 15–20 years old
  • The shingle system is otherwise in good condition
  • The repair cost is well below 50% of replacement
  • You're planning to sell in the near term and need a functional roof
Replacement makes more sense when...
  • The roof is 20+ years old and broadly deteriorating
  • Multiple areas are failing at the same time
  • Storm damage is extensive enough to warrant a full claim
  • Repairs have been done multiple times and keep failing
  • The decking or underlying structure has widespread damage

Common Questions

Roof Repair FAQ

How much does a roof repair cost in Minnesota?

Roof repair costs vary widely depending on the type and extent of damage. Minor repairs like replacing a few shingles or resealing flashing typically run $300–$1,000. More involved repairs — decking damage, valley repairs, chimney flashing — can run $1,500–$3,500+. We provide free, itemized estimates so you know what you're paying for before we start.

How do I know if my roof needs repair or full replacement?

The key factors are the age of the roof, how widespread the damage is, and whether the underlying structure is compromised. A roof under 15 years old with isolated damage is almost always a repair. A 25-year-old roof with multiple failing areas is usually a replacement. We'll give you an honest assessment on which one makes sense — no pressure either way.

Will my insurance cover roof repairs?

If the damage is storm-related — hail, wind, falling debris — most standard homeowner's policies cover repair costs minus your deductible. We inspect, document the damage thoroughly, and provide a detailed scope of work to support your claim.

How quickly can you get out for a roof repair?

For urgent situations like active leaks, we prioritize same-day or next-day visits. For non-emergency repairs, we typically schedule within a few days. Call us directly at (612) 800-6580 if you have an active leak.

Can you repair a roof in winter in Minnesota?

Yes — many repairs can be done year-round, including patching, flashing work, and emergency leak fixes. Some repairs are better suited to warmer weather when shingles seal properly, and we'll let you know if that's the case for your situation.

What causes most roof leaks in Minnesota?

The most common causes are failed flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights; ice dams in winter; cracked or missing shingles from wind or hail; and aging sealants around penetrations. We address the actual source of the leak, not just the symptom.
