Edina at a glance
- Distance
- Edina sits directly southwest of Minneapolis, sharing a border along France Avenue and the Crosstown Commons interchange, an easy drive down Highway 100 or I-35W to Highway 62.

- Minnehaha Creek, Lake Cornelia
- Nearby
- Fairview Southdale Hospital
- Permit Rule
- Minneapolis reroofing permits fall under the Minnesota State Building Code, and whether one applies depends on the scope of the tear-off, not just the square footage.
- Tax Basis
- Most homeowners pay for a reroof themselves as scheduled upkeep, and insurance involvement generally depends on a specific storm event causing documented damage, not routine aging.
Local Factors
What Wears Roofs Down
Freeze-thaw cycling, heavy snow load, and summer hail wear down roofs here more than any one storm does.
How Past Additions Changed the Roofline
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.
The damp side of the house
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.
Two Very Different Roof Enemies
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.
Duplexes, Fourplexes, and Rented Rooflines
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.

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
How old are most roofs in Edina?
It depends on which part of Edina. Homes near the Minneapolis border along France Avenue tend to be older, often 1920s through 1950s, while streets further southwest toward the Crosstown Commons carry more postwar and later construction, some with roofs already replaced during remodels.
Does remodeling affect roofing in Edina?
Yes. Edina sees steady remodel and addition activity, especially on older homes near Minneapolis, and that work often means matching or replacing roof sections rather than a simple like-for-like reroof, since additions change roof lines and flashing details.
Are ice dams a problem for Edina roofs?
Yes, same as anywhere in the Minneapolis metro. Older homes near the Minneapolis border with less attic insulation are more prone to ice dam buildup along the eaves during a Minnesota winter, which can back water up under shingles.
Is tree cover near Minnehaha Creek an issue?
Lots near Minnehaha Creek carry heavier tree cover than streets further from the water, which holds moisture on the roof longer and can encourage moss or debris buildup in valleys and gutters compared to more open lots.
Who handles roof repairs in Edina?
Contractors licensed by the state to do residential roofing, and for Edina specifically it helps if they file with Edina regularly. Edina runs its own building department, so the paperwork does not go through Minneapolis. The other thing to ask about is material: Edina has a good deal 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.
How soon can a roofer be at my Edina address?
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.

Pros Working In This Area
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.
