Emergency Roof Tarping
Open roof? A local licensed pro covers and anchors it, often the same day, before the next rain finds it.
Learn about Emergency Roof TarpingEdina is its own city next to Minneapolis, with older homes near the line and a lot of remodel work.
Roof repair Edina homeowners need often depends on the age of the house. Homes near the Minneapolis line run 1920s-1950s, and larger postwar and remodeled homes sit further west. Call now and we'll connect you with a local licensed pro.
Roof installation in Edina starts with the house itself, which is mostly 1920s-1950s homes near the Minneapolis border and larger postwar ranch and split-level homes further southwest.
Older homes near the line often have less attic insulation, so ice dams along the eaves are a real concern. Ask the licensed pro we connect you with about attic airflow before the new roof goes on.

Good roof installers in Edina hold a Minnesota residential roofer license, since roofing contractors are licensed by the state, not the city.
Edina runs its own building department, so the paperwork does not go through Minneapolis. Ask whether the installer files with Edina regularly, then reach out through our contact page.
Roof replacement in Edina is usually needed when older asphalt shingles are worn out by Minnesota winters, hail and summer thunderstorms.
Edina has a lot of remodeled and extended housing, and a roof that has been added to over the years has more junctions and flashing detail than a single original slope. That is where the price and the risk both sit, so ask any roof replacement pro how they will handle those joints.
Freeze-thaw cycling, heavy snow load, and summer hail wear down roofs here more than any one storm does.
Age tells you more here than storm history does. A roof in Edina built before attic insulation was taken seriously loses heat unevenly, and uneven heat loss is what turns an ordinary snowfall into a leak at the eave. Build era is the first question worth asking.
Being close to Minnehaha Creek and Lake Cornelia changes the whole picture. Standing water in gutters, blocked downspouts and a fascia that never dries are the things worth checking first on these properties, before anybody goes up on the roof at all.
Edina sees the same Minnesota winter load as Minneapolis, so ice dams along eave lines and frost heave under footings are real concerns, plus hail and summer thunderstorm damage on older asphalt shingle roofs. Fall is the narrow window for getting ahead of winter, not a season to wait out. A roof with a small weakness in October usually turns into an ice dam problem in January, once snow load and cold settle in for months.
The presence of Fairview Southdale Hospital shapes the local workload. Rooftop units, their curbs and the drains around them are the usual pressure points, and a scheduled inspection beats waiting for a ceiling tile to go.
No call-out fee and no obligation. Here is roughly where Edina jobs price out before we have seen the property.
| Service | Estimated cost |
|---|---|
| Emergency Roof Tarping | an estimated $350–$1400 |

| Storm & Wind Damage Roof Repair | an estimated $900–$7500 |
France Avenue runs along part of the Edina-Minneapolis border, and homes on the streets closest to it tend to be older than the ranch-style construction further southwest toward the Crosstown Commons.
Minnehaha Creek cuts through parts of Edina on its way toward Minneapolis, and lots near its path carry more tree cover than the open streets further from the water.
Southdale sits well inside Edina's city limits, and the surrounding streets mix older homes with later remodels, unlike the newer construction found closer to the Crosstown Commons interchange.

Yes, same as anywhere in the Minneapolis metro. Older homes near the Minneapolis border with less attic insulation are more prone to ice dams along the eaves. That can back water up under shingles.
Yes. Additions change roof lines and flashing details, so work on remodeled homes often means matching or replacing roof sections instead of a simple like-for-like reroof. Edina sees steady remodel activity, especially on older homes near Minneapolis.
Usually the same day, yes. Urgent jobs jump the queue here: water coming through a ceiling, a slope torn open by wind, or a limb down on the roof. Those are taken around the clock. Anything that can safely wait is booked at the standard rate instead.
Minneapolis roofs answer to the same winter, but not identically. A foursquare in Tangletown with tight attic ventilation ice-dams differently than a bungalow near Lake Nokomis with more roof exposed to open sky. Homes close to the Mississippi River gorge catch different wind than ones tucked into Fulton or Kingfield. Hail from a summer thunderstorm hits every neighborhood the same day, but the roof underneath it, its age, its pitch, its attic insulation, is never quite the same house to house.
