Your roof is your home's first line of defense — and in Minnesota, it takes a beating from hail, wind, and freeze-thaw cycles every year. Honey-Doers handles roof replacement, repair, and storm damage restoration across the South Metro, with a free inspection and a straight answer about whether you need a repair or a full replacement.
156+ Verified 5-Star Reviews·30+ Years Experience·Licensed & Insured
We tell you if it's a repair or a full replacement — we don't upsell a new roof when repairs will do the job.
Insurance Claim Support
For storm and hail damage, we document the damage and work directly with your adjuster to make sure the claim reflects the real scope of repair.
Material Options for Every Budget
Architectural asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and flat-roof membrane systems — matched to your home, budget, and how long you plan to stay.
Let's Protect Your Home
A roofing project should leave you with fewer worries, not more — here's what we focus on.
Stop Leaks Before They Spread
Diagnose the source, not just the symptom — hidden leaks cause far more damage than the shingles you can see.
Handle Storm & Hail Damage
Full inspection and documentation for your insurance claim, plus repairs or replacement once it's approved.
Prevent Ice Dams
Proper attic ventilation and insulation stop the freeze-thaw cycle that causes ice dams and interior water damage.
Build for the Long Haul
Asphalt, metal, or flat roofing systems chosen and installed for Minnesota's climate, not the easiest sale.
Protect Your Home's Value
A properly installed, well-maintained roof is one of the few upgrades that protects value instead of just adding it.
How a Roofing Project Runs
On a roof, the tear-off is the fast part, usually one to three days. The inspection and, for storm damage, the insurance adjuster set the real timeline. This is a full replacement; a repair is usually done in one visit after the inspection.
Phase 1
Roof & Attic Inspection
Same week
Shingles, flashing, ventilation, decking, and the attic side of the roof. You get a written assessment of repair versus replacement and why. Hail or wind damage is photographed for your claim.

Asphalt, Metal, or Flat

Cost against expected lifespan for each option, and how each handles snow load and ice. Flat-roof membranes only come up where the roof calls for one.

Phase 3
Adjuster Meeting (Storm Claims)
Varies with adjuster
On storm claims we meet your adjuster on the roof when possible, so the approved scope covers the flashing and decking damage too, not just the visible shingles.

What Roofing Clients Are Saying
"I had storm damage over a year ago and had learned from previous insurance claims to get a contractor for complicated claims. My son had a great experience with Honey-Doers previously and we agreed they’d do a good job. From beginning to end Adam was regularly in touch, honest, responsive and helpful. I have a 100+ year old home and he understood all the issues, gave great advice and sorted through the insurance maze. All the subs knew what to do and clearly were treated with respect. I enthusiastically give them 5 stars."

Home Maintenance · Minneapolis
"The picture itself may not tell the whole story so I would like to share my experience with Honey-Doers. From Ryan, Bob, Joe, Joey, Seth, Shelly, and Dan, unbelievable service!! In a world now where service has kind of gone downhill, this team blows it out of the water. Responsive, polite, prompt, patient, respectful. My wife and I experienced water damage which left us with a massive hole in both the wall and ceiling. Honey-Doers came out ahead of a snow storm and began the work on the exterior to ensure we were well insulated and safe before the storm hit. They were quick and masters at their craft. It looks fantastic and we are extremely grateful for the time and effort. Thank you for caring and being there for us during this frustrating time. I would recommend Honey-Doers to all. This is genuinely me saying if you are looking for the job to get done right, look to them and they will take care of you."
— Jack D.
Whole-Home Remodeling · Farmington
"I highly recommend using Honey-Doers. We used them for an insurance roof repair and new garage doors. Ryan was prompt, responsive, and worked with our insurance company to make the process smooth and efficient. Quality work at a fair price."
— Kevin W.
Roofing · Shakopee
"Honey-Doers replaced my roof due to hail damage. They made wise, applicable recommendations. They were always polite and respectful and honest. I have used their expertise in the past and will use them again in the future if needed."
— C C.
Roofing · Lakeville
"Honey-Doers is great to work with, Ryan always follows up and stays on top of his projects with you. Thanks for the great service, I recommend them for roof repair/replacement (they did mine) and interior remodels (they did my neighbors)."
It depends on the roof's age, how widespread the damage is, and what's underneath the visible layer. A roof under 15 years old with isolated damage (a few missing shingles, a flashing leak) is usually a repair. Curling or granule loss across the whole roof, a roof past 20–25 years old, or damage found during a storm inspection more often points to full replacement being the better long-term value. We give you a straight answer during the free inspection — we don't upsell a replacement when a repair will genuinely do the job.
Document what you can see from the ground (photos of dented gutters, downspouts, or visible shingle damage), then call us for a free inspection before you file a claim — a proper inspection gives your insurance adjuster accurate documentation of the full scope of damage, not just what's visible. Avoid roofing companies that pressure you to sign a contract before an adjuster has even inspected the property. We coordinate directly with your adjuster once your claim is open.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common choice in Minnesota — durable, available in a wide range of colors and profiles, and typically the lower upfront cost. Metal roofing costs more upfront but can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance, handles snow and ice differently (shedding rather than accumulating), and some insurers offer a discount for it. For most South Metro homes, asphalt is the right budget-conscious choice; metal makes the most sense if you're planning to stay in the home long-term or want to minimize future maintenance.
Yes — attic insulation and ventilation are directly connected to roof performance in Minnesota. Poor attic ventilation lets warm air escape into the attic, melting snow on the roof that refreezes at the colder eaves — that's what causes ice dams and the interior water damage that comes with them. We assess attic insulation and ventilation as part of a roof inspection and can address it alongside a repair or replacement, or as a standalone project.
You get both a manufacturer's material warranty (typically 30–50 years on architectural asphalt shingles, varying by manufacturer and product line) and our workmanship warranty covering the installation itself. We'll walk you through the specific warranty terms for the material you choose before work begins — they vary by manufacturer, so we don't want you relying on generic numbers.
Yes. South Metro roofs are our core territory, and we take roofing work across the greater Twin Cities too. After a storm, call for a free inspection before you file a claim.
Yes — every roofing project starts with a free, no-obligation inspection. We check the shingles, flashing, ventilation, and attic for signs of leaks, storm damage, or ventilation problems that cause ice dams. If you've had recent hail or wind, we recommend an inspection even if you don't see obvious damage from the ground — some of the most costly damage isn't visible without getting on the roof.
Yes — insurance coordination is part of every storm-damage project. We meet with your adjuster on-site when possible, provide our own damage documentation, and make sure the approved scope of work actually matches what your roof needs, not just what's easiest to approve. If there's a gap between the adjuster's estimate and the real cost of repair, we'll walk you through your options rather than cutting corners to fit the insurance number.
Most standard residential roof replacements take one to three days from tear-off to final cleanup, depending on the size of the roof, the pitch, and whether the decking needs repair once the old shingles are removed. Storm-damage projects can take longer overall because of the insurance approval timeline, even though the actual installation is the same one-to-three-day window.
Yes — gutters are part of your roof's drainage system, and we install and repair them alongside roofing work or as a standalone service. Poorly functioning gutters contribute directly to ice dams, foundation moisture, and fascia damage, so we check them as part of every roof inspection.
Cost depends primarily on roof size, pitch, material, and whether the decking needs repair once the old roof is removed — we don't quote a number until we've inspected the actual roof. Architectural asphalt shingle replacements are the most common and typically the most budget-friendly option; metal roofing costs more upfront but can last significantly longer.
Most full roof replacements require a permit from the local building department, while minor repairs typically don't. Requirements vary by city; we confirm yours and pull the permit.
