Roof Replacement in Bloomington — Local, Licensed, Warranted
Storm damage, failed shingles, or an aging roof on your Bloomington split-level — whatever brought you here, Lakewoods Remodeling handles it start to finish, including permits through the City of Bloomington building department. Owner Scott Rise has led roofing projects across East and West Bloomington since 2003, and we don't subcontract the work. Call 612-414-0468 for a free estimate.
Bloomington's freeze-thaw cycles start as early as October and grind through April. That kind of thermal stress cracks flashing, lifts shingle tabs, and opens seams on the 1960s-era ramblers and split-levels that line neighborhoods off Old Shakopee Road and Normandale Boulevard. Homes near the Minnesota River bluffs also catch sustained southwest wind that demands shingles rated for high wind-uplift. We install ice-and-water shield at every eave and valley — not just where code requires it — because Bloomington winters earn that margin.
We've completed hundreds of projects across Bloomington, from full architectural shingle replacements in the Penn-American neighborhood to hail-damage insurance claims near the Mall of America corridor. If you've got an adjuster coming out, Scott can walk the roof with them. If you're paying out of pocket, we'll give you a straight number with no pressure to upgrade what you don't need. Lakewoods is listed on the BBB, Angi, and HomeAdvisor — and we pull every permit ourselves so your project is fully on record with the City of Bloomington.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new roof cost in Bloomington, MN?
The cost depends on your home's square footage, roof pitch, current underlayment condition, and the shingle line you choose. Bloomington's common rambler and split-level profiles sit in a mid-range footprint, but steep pitches or complex rooflines near the river bluffs add time and material. We don't publish price ranges because a number that's wrong for your roof creates false expectations. Call 612-414-0468 or request a free on-site estimate — we'll give you an actual number after we see the job.
Does Bloomington require a permit for roof replacement?
Yes. The City of Bloomington building department requires a permit for roof replacements. Lakewoods pulls the permit, schedules any required inspection, and keeps the paperwork on file. You don't have to navigate that process yourself, and the completed permit protects your home's resale value.
How long does a roof replacement take in Bloomington?
Most Bloomington ramblers and split-levels are stripped and re-roofed in a single day. Larger two-story homes or those with multiple dormers or complex valleys near the river bluffs typically run two days. We schedule tear-off and installation together so your home is never left open overnight.
Do you repair hail damage in Bloomington, MN?
Yes, and hail is a real threat here. Supercell storms track across the Twin Cities metro from the Dakotas through May, June, July, and August. We inspect for granule loss, dented flashing, and cracked tabs — damage that's often invisible from the ground but accelerates leaks fast. If your roof took a hit, we can document the damage and work directly with your insurance adjuster.
What warranty comes with a new roof in Bloomington?
As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, Lakewoods Remodeling offers up to a 50-year limited material warranty and a 25-year workmanship guarantee. That combination is among the strongest available from any roofing company in Hennepin County. The warranty transfers if you sell the home, which matters to buyers.
Do you serve all parts of Bloomington?
We work throughout Bloomington — East Bloomington, West Bloomington, Penn-American, and neighborhoods along Old Shakopee Road and Normandale Boulevard. The City of Bloomington building department is the permit authority for all these areas, and we're familiar with their inspection process and requirements.
What roofing materials do you install in Bloomington?
Our primary product line is architectural asphalt shingles, installed over ice-and-water shield underlayment that runs from every eave edge up at least 24 inches past the interior wall line — required by Minnesota code and essential given Bloomington's freeze-thaw cycle. We don't install cedar shake or slate. If a salesperson is pushing you toward a material we don't carry, we'll tell you honestly rather than sell you something we can't warranty.
