Stop Overpaying for Roofing in Edina — Get a Free Quote
Lakewoods Remodeling is a licensed and insured Edina roofing contractor and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, handling roof replacement, roof repair, and hail-damage claims across Hennepin County. With 20+ years on Twin Cities homes, we walk the roof first and tell you straight whether a repair will hold or a full replacement in Edina, MN is the smarter call: a wind-lifted slope in Indian Hills is often a repair, while a Country Club home losing granules usually needs replacement.
The historic housing stock in Edina changes how a roof has to be built. The Country Club district, laid out in the 1920s and 1930s, and the established homes in Morningside carry steeper pitches, deeper valleys, dormers, and chimney crickets, which means the flashing is where most Edina leaks actually start, not the open field of shingles. On these homes we detail the valleys, step flashing, and cricket work by hand rather than treating a complex roof like a simple gable. In Indian Hills the custom builds sit on wooded lots with long runs of hip-and-ridge that need reinforced starter and a six-nail pattern to hold up under prairie-wind gusts, and the mature tree canopy across the city makes algae-resistant, Class 4 impact-rated architectural shingles the material we most often recommend.
Edina's freeze-thaw cycle runs October through April, and the older north-facing slopes and low-pitch porches on Country Club and Morningside homes are exactly where ice dams form. That is why Edina's code call-outs matter here more than in a subdivision of newer builds. Edina has specific requirements for ice-and-water shield coverage, attic ventilation ratios, and drip-edge installation, and on a re-roof we build to those details rather than a generic metro spec so meltwater cannot back up under the shingles and into the decking. Many mid-century ramblers near Southdale predate today's ventilation code, so we correct the attic intake and exhaust ratio during the tear-off, which is what stops the ice-dam cycle from repeating winter after winter.
We handle the City of Edina and Hennepin County building permit and the required inspection end-to-end, so you are not chasing paperwork or coordinating with inspectors yourself. If a contractor offers to skip the permit to save time, don't accept it, because an unpermitted roof creates real liability at resale and can void the manufacturer warranty. Every Edina roof replacement includes complete teardown to the deck and a full inspection of the sheathing, since we never roof over existing layers.
After a summer hail event in the Twin Cities hail corridor we also manage the full insurance claim, working directly with your adjuster and documenting RCV versus ACV coverage. Every replacement carries our written workmanship warranty, with material coverage up to a 50-year limited warranty and a 25-year workmanship guarantee.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I repair or replace my Edina roof?
Repair makes sense when the damage is isolated, such as a few wind-loosened shingles, a failed pipe boot, or flashing pulling away from a chimney or cricket. Replacement is the right call when the shingles are at the end of their service life, granule loss is widespread, the decking shows rot or daylight, or a hail event has compromised the whole roof. We walk the roof, show you photos of what we find, and give you line-item pricing for both paths so you can decide. On the older Country Club and Morningside homes, patch repairs on a roof that is already 25-plus years old usually buy only a season or two before the next leak shows up somewhere else, so we tell you honestly when a replacement is the better spend.
How much does a roof replacement in Edina, MN cost?
Most Edina roof replacements range from $8,500 to $18,000+ depending on the size, pitch, and material selection, and the larger custom homes in Indian Hills or the steep-pitched historic homes in the Country Club district tend to sit at the higher end because of larger roof areas and the complex flashing their rooflines require. We never quote a flat per-home price because pitch and geometry drive the real number. We provide free, no-obligation estimates with transparent line-item pricing, plus $99/month and $0-down financing options through Synchrony Bank so you can upgrade to premium architectural shingles without a lump-sum payment.
Do you install roofs on Country Club and Morningside historic homes in Edina?
Yes, and the older Edina housing stock is where our experience shows. The Country Club district and Morningside carry steeper pitches, deeper valleys, dormers, and chimney crickets than a typical suburban gable, and that complex flashing is where most leaks on these homes actually begin. We detail the valleys, step flashing, and cricket work by hand and install architectural asphalt shingles rated for 130 mph winds with a six-nail pattern and reinforced starter. We also match shingle color and profile to the character of the home and to any neighborhood architectural-review guidelines before we order material.
What about Edina's building code requirements?
Edina has specific requirements for ice-and-water shield coverage, attic ventilation ratios, and drip-edge installation. We build every Edina project to those details rather than a generic metro spec, which is what keeps meltwater from backing up under the shingles during the freeze-thaw cycle. Mid-century ramblers near Southdale often need the attic ventilation ratio corrected during the tear-off because the original build predates today's code, and we handle that as part of the re-roof so the roof passes inspection the first time.
Do I need a roof repair or a full inspection after a storm in Edina?
Start with a free inspection, because hail and wind damage on an Edina roof is often invisible from the ground. Granule loss, a bruised shingle mat, and cracked tabs frequently do not leak right away but shorten the life of the roof, and Edina's mature tree canopy also drops branches that can puncture shingles during summer storms. We walk the roof, document what we find with photos, and only recommend a repair or a replacement once we know the actual condition. If your roof is sound and just needs a minor fix, we tell you that rather than pushing a full replacement you don't need yet.
Who pulls the permit for a roof replacement in Edina?
We do. Lakewoods handles the City of Edina building permit application and schedules the required inspection with Hennepin County end-to-end, so you are not managing paperwork or coordinating with inspectors yourself. Permit and inspection scheduling is built into the timeline we give you before work starts. If a contractor offers to skip the permit, walk away, because an unpermitted roof creates liability at resale and can void the manufacturer warranty.
Do you serve all neighborhoods in Edina?
Yes, we serve every area of Edina, including Country Club, Morningside, Indian Hills, and the Southdale area. As the Edina roofing contractor these neighborhoods rely on for both roof repair and full roof replacement, our crews know the local building codes, the permit process, and the common architectural styles throughout Hennepin County, which is why we can quote accurately from a first walk rather than guessing at the scope.
