Falcon Heights took multiple confirmed hail reports during the June 19, 2026 storm — 1.5 inch ping-pong-ball and 1.25 inch half-dollar stones. Whether a given roof in 55108 or 55113 has claimable damage is settled by an inspection, not by the storm report — bruised mats, granule loss, and dented soft metals are what an adjuster weighs.

Falcon Heights took multiple confirmed hail reports during the June 19, 2026 storm — 1.5 inch ping-pong-ball and 1.25 inch half-dollar stones. Whether a given roof in 55108 or 55113 has claimable damage is settled by an inspection, not by the storm report — bruised mats, granule loss, and dented soft metals are what an adjuster weighs.

Falcon Heights is barely two square miles and about 5,300 people, wedged between Saint Paul, Roseville, and Lauderdale, and it carries two enormous neighbors on its own tax map: the Minnesota State Fairgrounds and the University of Minnesota's Saint Paul campus. For a homeowner replacing a roof, those two are not trivia. They set the traffic, the parking rules, and in one neighborhood the architecture.

The everyday housing stock is post-war — Cape Cods and ramblers built between 1946 and 1958 on the Hoyt, Fry, and Coffman blocks, mostly 15 to 20 squares with straightforward gables and, very often, a second layer of shingles that a previous owner added in the 1980s. East toward Cleveland and Roselawn, the builds get later and bigger: 1960s two-stories and side-splits in the 22-to-30-square range.

Then there is University Grove, roughly a hundred architect-designed faculty houses on land the University owns. Those are mid-century in the real sense — shallow pitches, genuine flat sections, deep overhangs, exposed fascia and beam ends, cedar and clerestory detailing. Reroofing one is a design problem before it is a materials problem, and asphalt-only contractors routinely bid them as if they were ordinary ranches.

The last Falcon Heights variable is the calendar. During the run-up to and through the State Fair, the streets around the fairgrounds fill up, parking gets restricted, and Snelling and Larpenteur stop being reliable for a 26-foot delivery truck or a 20-yard dumpster. A crew that has worked here plans around that window. What follows is our 2026 ranking of the contractors bidding this city, real price ranges by Falcon Heights roof size, and the permit, canopy, and June 19 claim details that decide how these projects actually go.

On the ground in Falcon Heights

What we actually see on Falcon Heights roofs.

Falcon Heights is a small, tightly built Ramsey County city wedged between the State Fairgrounds and the University of Minnesota's St. Paul campus, and its housing is a distinct mix — modest mid-century homes near the Larpenteur Avenue corridor and the more architecturally distinctive homes of University Grove, several of which were designed by notable regional architects and carry unusual, non-standard rooflines.

Because the city is so small and dense, lot setbacks are tight and roofs often sit close to neighboring structures, which matters for staging equipment and protecting adjacent property during tear-off. University Grove in particular requires more care than a typical subdivision, since many of its homes have flat or low-slope sections and irregular geometry that a standard gable-roof crew might not be used to handling.

The Snelling-Hamline and Hoyt Avenue blocks are more conventional gable and hip roofs on smaller lots, and here the main age-related issue is simply undersized ventilation on homes that predate current attic code expectations.

How we ranked the top Falcon Heights roofers

Nobody paid to be on this list. Every contractor below was measured against the same five criteria using publicly checkable sources: BBB records, manufacturer certification registries, recent customer reviews, and Minnesota license lookups.

  1. 1. BBB record

    Five-year complaint history, not just the letter grade. Unresolved and pattern complaints count against a contractor.

  2. 2. Manufacturer certifications

    Top-tier credentials require training, volume, and financial checks — and they unlock the strongest workmanship warranties.

  3. 3. Recent verified reviews

    Google, Facebook, and BBB reviews from the last two years, weighted for recency and volume rather than raw star count.

  4. 4. Insurance claim expertise

    Documented work with Minnesota carriers, in-house damage documentation, and real supplement experience — not just 'we work with insurance.'

  5. 5. Local presence and full-exterior capability

    A physical office nearby and the ability to handle roof, siding, windows, and gutters on one claim instead of splitting the scope.

No contractor paid for placement on this list. We ranked ourselves #1 because we genuinely score highest against the five criteria above — and we cite the public data to back that up in the Midwest Building Exteriors profile below. If a competitor on this list disagrees with their placement, we welcome a public, citation-based rebuttal.

Midwest Building Exteriors

Best Overall in Falcon Heights — steep-slope and low-slope handled by one crew, Fair-window logistics planned in advance, 99% companywide insurance claim approval rate across 400+ documented claims.

Falcon Heights is a twelve-minute run from our Richfield headquarters, and we work all of 55108 and 55113 — the post-war blocks, the Roselawn and Cleveland Avenue splits, and University Grove. A roofing permit is required here for a residential reroof, and we pull it in our name, meet the inspector, and hand you the closed paperwork at the end.

We are equipped for both roof types this city contains. The Cape Cods and ramblers get a conventional architectural system, but the mid-century houses and the shallow-pitch additions grafted onto them need a real low-slope answer — TPO or standing seam properly tied into the asphalt field, not three courses of shingle laid at a pitch the manufacturer never warranted. When we bid a University Grove house we bid the detailing: overhang and fascia condition, exposed beam ends, ventilation on a cathedral assembly, and how the flat section drains.

The other thing we plan for is the Fair. Late August into early September, the blocks around the fairgrounds get congested and parking is restricted, and a roll-off dropped in the wrong place on the wrong day is a citation and a lost install date. We stage materials, place the dumpster off-street where the lot allows, and schedule delivery outside the worst hours. It is a small thing that only comes up if your contractor has actually worked here in September.

On the claim side we document, we do not adjust. A free inspection here gets you drone aerials, a hands-on walk of every slope safe to walk, close-ups of soft metals and the low-slope tie-ins, a knee-wall and attic ventilation check on story-and-a-half houses, and a full Xactimate scope of loss sent to you and your insurance company within 48 hours. We will meet your insurer's adjuster on the roof at no charge. That adjuster decides your claim — Midwest Building Exteriors does not act as a public adjuster on a project it contracts to repair, and Christian Musta's Minnesota Public Adjuster license is a competency and ethics credential behind how thoroughly we document, not a service we sell you. Across the trailing 24 months, 400+ documented legitimate claims we documented were approved, and we say so plainly when a roof is simply worn out. No Assignment of Benefits, ever.

Bolechowski Construction, LLC

BBB-accredited A+ general contractor with an active license and a genuinely small crew.

Minnesota license #BC639525 showed active in the DLI lookup when we checked on August 28, 2026 — license status can change at any time, so re-run it yourself at dli.mn.gov before you sign — the BBB profile at 3031 Croft Drive in northeast Minneapolis is accredited with an A+ rating, and the company has been operating since 2008 doing roofing, windows, and gutters. If your Falcon Heights project is a straightforward rambler reroof plus the eight windows you have been putting off, bundling it with one accountable contractor is a legitimately good idea and this is a legitimate contractor for it.

Understand the scale before you plan around it. Public company data describes a two-person operation, which is why the reviews read the way they do — the owner is on your job because the owner is on every job. That is a real advantage on workmanship and a real constraint on timing in a post-hail August. Get an install week in writing, and ask specifically how a low-slope or University Grove detail would be handled, because that is not this shop's core work.

#3

Northern Exteriors MN

Cottage Grove family contractor, in business since 2001, unusually honest about what it is.

Their own Falcon Heights page says they are based in Cottage Grove and are 'not pretending to have an office in every city,' and their storm content leads with the argument that a hail date is a starting point rather than proof of damage. In a trade where most city pages are fabricated proximity, both statements are worth something, and they are exactly the posture you want from someone giving you a second opinion on a marginal roof.

The cost of that honesty is the drive. Cottage Grove to Falcon Heights is 25 to 30 minutes on a good day and considerably worse in the two weeks the Fair owns Snelling Avenue. Warranty callbacks, punch items, and the mid-project decisions that come up during a tear-off all get slower with that distance in between. Weigh it against how complicated your roof is.

#4

LS West, LLC — Professional Roofers

In business since 1978, with the low-slope and association experience most residential roofers lack.

Nearly five decades of steep and low slope work, a substantial townhome, condominium, and HOA/CIC portfolio, manufacturer-certified systems, and 24/7 response. On the low-slope sections that Falcon Heights' mid-century houses and the small association buildings near Larpenteur actually have, that experience is the differentiator — membrane detailing at a tie-in is where cheap reroofs fail two winters later.

For a single-family Cape Cod with a simple gable, this is more contractor than you need, and the process is built for boards and property managers rather than for one homeowner with one claim. If your project is an ordinary asphalt replacement, expect a bid shaped for a different kind of customer.

#5

Welter Construction

Commercial roofers marketing 24/7 emergency service into Falcon Heights from the northwest metro.

If you manage one of the commercial or institutional buildings along Larpenteur, Snelling, or the fairgrounds edge, a dedicated commercial roofer with round-the-clock emergency response and fast quote turnaround is the right category of company to call, and they advertise both.

For a house, they are not the fit and do not present themselves as one. Residential steep-slope work attached to a homeowner's insurance claim needs slope-by-slope photo documentation, an Xactimate scope, and someone standing on your roof with your insurer's adjuster — a commercial operation is not organized around any of that.

Falcon Heights pricing · 2026

What a roof actually costs in Falcon Heights (2026)

Falcon Heights is two square miles with three very different kinds of roof on it. The bulk of 55108 and 55113 is 1946–1958 Cape Cods and ramblers at 15 to 20 squares. The Larpenteur and Roselawn blocks add 1960s two-stories and side-splits at 22 to 30 squares. Then there is University Grove, where architect-designed mid-century houses carry low-slope and flat sections, deep overhangs, and detailing that costs real money to reproduce correctly. Add a scheduling reality no other city on our list has: for roughly two weeks around the Minnesota State Fair, dumpster placement and material delivery near the fairgrounds have to be planned around Fair traffic and parking restrictions.

  • State Fair window logistics — staged delivery, off-street dumpster, restricted-parking coordination+$0 – $450
  • Knee-wall and cathedral-ceiling ventilation correction on story-and-a-half Capes+$850 – $2,400
  • Low-slope section converted to TPO membrane+$11 – $19 per sq ft

Ranges are installed totals in 2026 dollars — tear-off, ice-and-water shield, synthetic underlayment, new flashing and pipe boots, ridge venting, permit, disposal, and magnetic cleanup included. They are planning numbers, not a quote: pitch, layer count, decking condition, access, and color availability all move the final figure. On an approved insurance claim your out-of-pocket cost is your deductible, not the numbers below.

University Grove and the mid-century roofs asphalt bidders get wrong

University Grove is about a hundred houses on University-owned land, built from the 1920s through the 1960s and designed by named architects rather than production builders. What that means on a roof is shallow pitch, real flat sections, deep unvented overhangs, exposed fascia and beam ends, clerestory glazing, and drainage that was designed as part of the elevation instead of bolted onto it.

The failure mode is predictable. A contractor measures the roof from an aerial report, prices it as asphalt at a nominal pitch, and either shingles a section too shallow for any shingle warranty or terminates the membrane into the shingle field with a detail that holds water. Two winters later there is an ice-dam-driven leak at the tie-in, and the warranty conversation goes nowhere because the assembly was never right.

The right approach is to price the flat and shallow sections as their own system — TPO membrane or standing seam with proper terminations — evaluate the overhang and fascia for moisture damage before anything is ordered, and treat ventilation on a cathedral or partially unvented assembly as a design question. Ask any bidder to tell you the pitch of every plane on your roof and what warranty applies to each. On a mid-century house, a bidder who cannot answer that has not looked.

  • ✓ Get the pitch of every roof plane in writing, with the warranty that applies to each
  • ✓ Flat and shallow sections priced as membrane or metal, never as shingles
  • ✓ Overhang, fascia, and beam-end condition inspected before materials are ordered
  • ✓ Ventilation on cathedral assemblies solved on paper, not improvised at tear-off

The State Fair window: why timing matters more here than anywhere else

For roughly two weeks spanning late August and Labor Day, the Minnesota State Fair puts well over a million people through a footprint that sits inside Falcon Heights. Traffic on Snelling and Larpenteur backs up, parking on the residential streets nearest the fairgrounds gets restricted, and the practical logistics of a reroof — a roll-off dumpster on the street, a boom truck unloading forty squares of shingles, a crew arriving at 7 a.m. and leaving at 5 — collide with all of it.

This matters most in exactly the wrong season. Hail comes in June, adjusters get through their queues in July, and material orders land in August — which is when the north end of this city becomes logistically difficult. Homeowners who never think about scheduling end up either waiting until mid-September or getting a job squeezed in badly.

The workable answers are all planning, not luck: get the roof inspected and the scope written early so the claim is approved before August, take a delivery date rather than accepting whatever the supplier defaults to, put the dumpster on the driveway or an off-street pad wherever the lot allows, and confirm what the parking restrictions on your block actually say for the days your crew will be there.

  • ✓ Document and file early; do not let approval land in Fair week
  • ✓ Confirm the material delivery date, not just the install date
  • ✓ Off-street dumpster placement wherever the lot allows it
  • ✓ Check your block's Fair-period parking restrictions before install day
Falcon Heights homeowner guide · 2026

Mature canopy, second layers, and knee-wall ventilation on the post-war stock

Falcon Heights has an old, heavy tree canopy, and it does three things to a roof. It shades north slopes so they stay damp and grow moss and algae, it drops debris that packs valleys and gutters until water backs under the shingle, and it hides damage — a shaded slope reads 'fine' from the ground while the exposed south face is visibly bruised. On a hail claim that unevenness matters, because an adjuster who scopes only the two easy slopes writes a repair where a replacement is warranted.

The second recurring find is layers. Plenty of the 1946–1958 houses here are carrying a 1980s overlay on top of the original, which means a real tear-off, more disposal, and often board decking underneath that will not hold a fastener in the same place twice. That is a cost line worth resolving during the inspection instead of at 9 a.m. on tear-off day.

Third is ventilation, and story-and-a-half Capes are the chronic case. Those houses have knee-wall attics, cramped rafter bays, and finished second floors, and there is frequently no continuous intake path from soffit to ridge. The result is winter ice damming that looks like storm damage and is not. We check it on every Cape Cod inspection here, because replacing shingles without fixing airflow just resets the clock on the same leak.

  • ✓ Insist that shaded north slopes get walked, not judged from the driveway
  • ✓ Price the second-layer tear-off before the job starts, not during it
  • ✓ Valleys and gutters cleared of canopy debris as part of the scope
  • ✓ Knee-wall intake and ridge exhaust verified on every story-and-a-half

Frequently asked questions about roofing in Falcon Heights, MN

My University Grove home has an unusual roof design. Can you work on it?

Yes, though we treat it differently than a standard gable roof. Many University Grove homes have flat or low-slope sections and irregular geometry from their original architectural design, and we scope those areas separately from any conventional pitched sections.

My house near Larpenteur Avenue is older — does that mean ventilation problems?

Often, yes. A lot of the mid-century homes in that corridor were built before current attic ventilation standards, and undersized soffit intake is one of the more common issues we find during inspection, independent of storm damage.

My lot is small and close to my neighbor's house. Does that limit what work can be done?

It changes staging, not scope. We plan equipment placement and material staging around tight setbacks common in Falcon Heights, and we protect neighboring property lines during tear-off.

Who handles permitting for a Falcon Heights roof project?

We pull the permit through the City of Falcon Heights building department directly and manage the inspection scheduling.

How much does a new roof cost in Falcon Heights, MN?

The typical Falcon Heights job — a 19 to 24 square 1950s rambler with an attached garage — runs $16,100 to $22,300 installed in 2026 with architectural shingles, including tear-off, ice-and-water shield, underlayment, new flashing and boots, ventilation, permit, and cleanup. Smaller post-war Capes at 15 to 18 squares start near $12,800, and the 1960s two-stories and side-splits toward Roselawn run $21,200 to $29,300. Two Falcon Heights specifics move the number: a second shingle layer, which is common on the 1946–1958 stock and adds $85 to $145 per square to tear off, and any flat or shallow-pitch section, which has to be priced as membrane or metal rather than as shingles.

Do I need a permit to reroof a house in Falcon Heights?

Yes. Falcon Heights lists roofing among the projects that require a building permit, along with siding, windows and doors, decks, and most alterations to the main building. Unlike some neighboring cities, the requirement is the permit itself rather than a separate municipal contractor license, but your contractor still needs an active Minnesota residential building contractor license — verify that number through the Department of Labor and Industry before you sign. We pull the permit in our name, meet the inspector, and give you the closed record for your resale file.

My Falcon Heights roof is shaded and looks fine. Could it still have June 19 hail damage?

Very possibly, and this is the most common misread in this city. Falcon Heights has a heavy mature canopy, so the sheltered north and east slopes often show little while the exposed planes are clearly bruised — and damage on any slope can support a full replacement, because a roof is not repaired one face at a time when the system is compromised. The other tell is soft metals: dented gutters, aprons, vents, and window screens are impact evidence independent of what the shingles look like from the ground. Get every slope walked. We document all of it free and give you the photos whether or not you file, and your insurance company's adjuster makes the coverage decision.

I live in University Grove. Is my roof different from the rest of the city?

Structurally, yes. University Grove houses are architect-designed, and most of them have shallow pitches or true flat sections, deep overhangs, exposed fascia and beam ends, and drainage that was part of the original design. Those sections need a low-slope system — TPO membrane or standing-seam metal with proper terminations — not asphalt shingles installed below the pitch any manufacturer will warranty. Ask any bidder for the pitch of every plane on your roof and the warranty that applies to each; on these houses that single question separates the contractors who looked from the ones who priced an aerial report.

Should I avoid scheduling my roof during the State Fair?

You do not have to avoid it, but you do have to plan it. During the Fair the streets near the fairgrounds are congested and parking is restricted, which affects the dumpster, the material delivery truck, and your crew's ability to be parked where they need to be. The fix is straightforward: get inspected and scoped early so approval does not land in Fair week, lock a specific material delivery date, place the roll-off on the driveway or off-street where the lot allows, and check your block's posted restrictions for your install days. Blocks farther from Snelling are barely affected.

Do you handle the insurance side of a Falcon Heights claim?

We handle the documentation side, thoroughly, and we are precise about where that stops. On a free inspection we produce drone aerials, hands-on slope photos, soft-metal and low-slope tie-in documentation, an attic and ventilation check, and a full Xactimate scope of loss, and we send it to you and your insurer. We meet your insurance company's adjuster on the roof at no charge and walk them through the findings. The coverage decision belongs to that adjuster. Midwest Building Exteriors does not act as a public adjuster on projects we contract to repair — Christian Musta's Minnesota Public Adjuster license reflects his command of policy language and claim standards, and it informs how we document rather than being a service we perform on your claim.

Which parts of Falcon Heights do you serve?

All of it — 55108 and 55113, including the blocks around the State Fairgrounds, the Larpenteur Avenue corridor, University Grove, the Hoyt and Fry Street neighborhoods, and the Cleveland and Roselawn stretch toward the Roseville line, plus the immediate Lauderdale and Saint Paul borders. We are twelve minutes from our Richfield office and we work this city year round, not only after a storm.

How long does a Falcon Heights roof replacement take?

One day of installation on most 19 to 24 square ramblers; two days when a second layer has to come off, decking needs re-sheathing, or a low-slope section is part of the job. The overall timeline is driven by the claim and the calendar: a written scope within about 48 hours of the inspection, one to three weeks for adjuster scheduling and approval, then materials, permit, and an install date that we deliberately steer around the Fair congestion window if your block is affected.

My house is a story-and-a-half Cape. Why does my contractor keep talking about ventilation?

Because on that floor plan it is usually the actual problem. Knee-wall attics and finished second floors leave narrow rafter bays and often no continuous path for air from the soffit to the ridge, so warm air stalls under the deck, melts snow unevenly, and drives ice dams at the eaves. Homeowners frequently report that as storm damage; it is a building-science failure that new shingles alone will repeat. We check intake and exhaust on every Cape Cod inspection in Falcon Heights and price the correction separately so you can see exactly what it is.
