The Bold North Difference
A roof repair done right extends the life of a roof that still has years left in it. A repair done wrong — or a replacement sold when a repair would have done the job — costs homeowners money they didn't need to spend. Bold North Exteriors has built a reputation in the south metro for being the contractor who gives you the straight answer: if your roof needs repair, we repair it. If it needs replacement, we tell you that too, explain why, and give you an honest quote. We've turned down replacement jobs that didn't need replacing. That's the kind of contractor we are.
Common roof repairs in Minnesota include leak repairs from failed flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents; shingle replacement after wind damage or impact; valley repairs where two roof planes meet and concentrate water flow; gutter damage that's allowing water to back up under the eaves; and ice dam damage along the roofline after harsh winters. Most of these issues are repairable — and repairing them promptly is almost always less expensive than waiting until the damage spreads to the deck or interior.
When we arrive for a repair inspection, we document exactly what's failing and why. You get a written estimate that explains the scope of work clearly. No vague line items, no charges for things you didn't authorize. We use quality materials on every repair — the same IKO products we use on full replacements — because a repair done with cheap materials just fails again sooner. Most repairs are completed in a single visit.
Options we offer
Common Roof Repairs We Handle
Leak Repair
Locating the source of a leak is often harder than fixing it. We trace water intrusion to its actual source — not just where it's showing up inside — and fix it correctly the first time.
Flashing Repair & Replacement
Flashing failures around chimneys, skylights, vents, and roof-to-wall transitions are the most common source of leaks in Minnesota. We repair or replace with properly fitted metal flashing sealed against freeze-thaw movement.
Shingle Repair & Replacement
Wind-lifted, cracked, or missing shingles are immediate water intrusion risks. We match existing shingles where possible and replace damaged sections with properly installed IKO products.
Ice Dam & Eave Damage Repair
Ice dam damage along eaves and fascia is common in Minnesota winters. We repair the immediate damage and assess whether improved ventilation would prevent recurrence.
How It Works
Our Roof Repair Process
01
Inspect & Diagnose
We get on the roof and find the actual source of the problem — not just where it's showing up inside. This step is what separates a repair that lasts from one that fails again in six months.
02
Written Estimate
You receive a clear written estimate that describes exactly what needs to be done and why, with no vague line items. You approve the scope before any work begins.
03
Repair — Done Right
Wind-lifted, cracked, or missing shingles are immediate water intrusion risks. We match existing shingles where possible and replace damaged sections with properly installed IKO products.
04
Final Check & Cleanup
We get on the roof and find the actual source of the problem — not just where it's showing up inside. This step is what separates a repair that lasts from one that fails again in six months.
Why Bold North
The Right Team For the Job
Honest Assessment Every Time
We don't recommend replacements when repairs will do the job. Our assessment is based on what the roof actually needs — not what generates the most revenue.
Quality Materials on Every Repair
We use IKO products on repairs because cheap repair materials fail sooner. A repair should extend your roof's life, not give you another problem in two years.
Most Repairs Done Same Visit
We come prepared. Most repair jobs are completed in a single visit once the estimate is approved — no waiting weeks for materials or multiple trips.
What Homeowners Say
Don't just take our word for it - hear from real Minnesota homeowners who've experienced our no- pressure, transparent estimate process.
It was fantastic working with Jon and Bold North Exteriors. We had just a small job for him to do and he took the time to find the exact color match and made sure it was perfect. Communication was great and would highly recommend him anytime. Whenever we need roofing done in the future, Jon is the guy we will call.
Jen Wood
They did a good job with installing two new exterior doors. Good communication, on schedule, cleaned up properly afterward.
Dawn Packard
Jon from Bold North Exteriors delivered on a tricky project for us and was top notch! I would not hesitate to use him for future needs or to recommend him to anyone.

Common Questions
Roof Repair FAQ
How do I know if I need repair or a full replacement?
A repair makes sense when the damage is isolated — a failed flashing, a section of lifted shingles, a localized leak source — and the rest of the roof has meaningful life remaining. A replacement makes sense when the shingles are at or past their designed lifespan, when storm damage is widespread, or when the cost of repairs approaches the cost of replacement. We'll give you an honest assessment of which situation you're in after a free inspection.
How much does a roof repair cost in Minnesota?
Minor repairs — a flashing fix, a few replacement shingles, a localized leak repair — typically run between $300 and $1,500. More involved repairs involving valley work, larger shingle sections, or deck repair can range from $1,500 to $4,000. We provide written estimates before any work begins so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Can roof repairs be covered by insurance?
If the damage was caused by a storm event — hail, wind, ice — there's a good chance your homeowner's insurance covers the repair. We can inspect and document the damage to support an insurance claim for repairs just as we do for full replacements.
How quickly can you respond for an urgent roof repair?
We prioritize leak situations and storm-related repairs. Call us at (507) 581-2557 and describe the situation — for active leaks or storm damage, we aim to respond the same day or next day.
