Residential Roof Replacement in Eden Prairie & the Twin Cities

Honest Exteriors provides residential roof replacement for homeowners across Eden Prairie and the Twin Cities metro. We assess your roof honestly, replace only what needs replacing, and install quality shingles backed by OC and GAF manufacturer warranties.

A roof replacement is one of the biggest investments a homeowner makes. We make the process straightforward — free inspection, clear estimate, one-day installation on most homes, and a job site left cleaner than we found it.

What to Look For

Signs Your Roof Needs Replacing

Age 20–25+ Years
Asphalt shingles typically last 20–30 years in Minnesota's climate. If your roof is approaching or past that range, replacement is worth evaluating even without visible damage.
Persistent Leaks
A single leak can be repaired. Multiple leaks, or leaks that return after repair, usually indicate the shingle layer has failed and replacement is more cost-effective long term.
Granule Loss
Heavy granule buildup in your gutters is a sign your shingles are breaking down. Once granules are gone, shingles lose their UV protection and deteriorate quickly.
Storm or Hail Damage
Hail can bruise or crack shingles without visible signs from the ground. After any significant storm, a free inspection helps determine whether repair or replacement is the right call.
Sagging or Structural Issues
A sagging roofline or soft spots on the deck are signs of moisture damage to the underlying structure — typically requiring full replacement and possible decking repair.
Rising Energy Bills
A failing roof reduces your attic's insulation value. If heating or cooling costs have climbed without an obvious cause, your roof may be part of the problem.
How It Works

Our Roof Replacement Process

1
Free Inspection
We come out, get on the roof, and give you an honest assessment. No pressure, no obligation. If you don't need a full replacement, we'll tell you that too.
2
Estimate & Material Selection
We walk you through your options — shingle style, color, manufacturer — and give you a clear, itemized estimate before any work begins. No surprise charges.
3
Tear-Off & Deck Inspection
We remove the old roofing system down to the deck and inspect for any underlying damage. If the deck needs repair, we address it before laying new materials.
4
Installation
New underlayment, ice and water shield, shingles, and flashing — installed to manufacturer spec so your warranties are valid. Most residential replacements are completed in a single day.
5
Cleanup & Final Walkthrough
We run a magnet across the yard for nails, haul off all debris, and do a final walkthrough with you before we leave. The job isn't done until you're satisfied.

Common Questions

Roof Replacement FAQ

How much does a roof replacement cost in Minnesota?

Roof replacement costs in the Twin Cities typically range from $8,000 to $18,000+ depending on roof size, pitch, shingle type, and whether deck repairs are needed. We provide free, itemized estimates so you know exactly what you're paying for before any work begins.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacements are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex roofs — steep pitch, multiple stories, significant deck damage — may take two days. We'll give you a clear timeline in your estimate.

Will my insurance cover a roof replacement?

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

What shingle brands do you use?

We install Owens Corning and GAF shingles — both top-tier manufacturers with strong warranty programs. As a certified contractor for both, we can offer extended manufacturer warranties that other contractors can't. We'll walk you through the options at your estimate.

Do I need to be home during the replacement?

You don't need to be home during the work itself, but we do recommend being available for the start-of-day walkthrough and the final inspection at the end. We'll coordinate a time that works for you.

What's the difference between a repair and a full replacement?

A repair addresses a specific problem area — a few damaged shingles, a failed flashing, a localized leak. A replacement makes sense when the shingle system has failed broadly, when the roof is near or past its lifespan, or when storm damage is extensive enough that a repair won't hold. We'll give you an honest answer on which one your roof actually needs.
