A roof is a once-in-20-years decision. Compare before you sign

Most St. Cloud homeowners hire a roofer only a few times in their lives, and often right after a storm, when every company in the region is busy and door-knockers from out of state are canvassing the neighborhood. That's the worst time to choose in a hurry. This page lists the 20 roofing businesses Google returned for a real St. Cloud search, with their Google rating, review count, observed local position on September 24, 2026, and a published profile score, so you can build a shortlist from public evidence instead of from whoever knocked first.

Some of these companies do roofing only. Others also do siding, gutters, windows and general exterior work, which is useful when hail has damaged more than the shingles.

The comparison

Listing names, ratings, and addresses shown here come from Google and are refreshed when needed. NextDoorScore stores Google Place IDs and its own observations, not a permanent copy of Google listings.

How this list is built, and its limits

The order is the observed position: where each business appeared when NextDoorScore ran "roofing in St. Cloud, MN" through Google's Places search on the observation date. Ratings and review counts come from each business's Google listing. The profile score follows a published formula built from six measurable areas: local visibility, profile completeness, reviews, website technical health, content coverage and consistency.

None of that tells you how well a crew installs ice-and-water shield or flashes a chimney. Roofing is a trade where the gap between a good and a bad job often shows up years later. Use this page to narrow the field, then check the items below with every company you're considering.

Six checks before you hire a roofer in Minnesota

1. Verify the state roofer license. Minnesota requires companies doing residential roofing to hold a license from the Department of Labor and Industry (DLI). Look the company up for free at dli.mn.gov. Choose the guest search, search by company name, and check that the license type is residential roofer (or residential building contractor) and the status is "Issued." A roofer license covers roofing only. Gutters, soffit and fascia fall under other license types.

2. Make sure the business is local and established. After a big hail event, out-of-area crews show up. They aren't automatically bad, but you want a company that will still be around to honor a workmanship warranty. Check the address and how long the business has been reviewed on its NextDoorScore profile and its Google listing.

3. Know the Minnesota insurance-claim rules. Under Minnesota Statutes § 325E.66, a residential roofer working on an insurance-paid job may not offer to pay or waive your deductible, may not offer you payment for letting them inspect or for filing a claim, and may not interpret your policy or adjust the claim for you unless they're a licensed public adjuster. They also have to give you a good-faith itemized estimate along with any repair agreement. An offer to "cover your deductible" is a red flag, not a discount.

4. Get itemized, comparable quotes. Ask each roofer to list the shingle line, the underlayment, ice-and-water shield (where and how far up the roof), ventilation (ridge and intake), flashing replacement, deck repair pricing per sheet, and tear-off and disposal. Then compare line by line.

5. Ask about two warranties. The manufacturer warranty covers the materials, and some upgraded warranties require a certified installer. The contractor's workmanship warranty covers installation errors. Get both in writing.

6. Ask about the permit. Many Minnesota cities require a building permit for re-roofing. Check with your city's building department or ask the roofer, who normally pulls it, and confirm it's in place before work starts.

Hail, ice dams and Central Minnesota roofs

Two local problems drive most roofing calls here. Hail can bruise shingles in ways you can't see from the ground. If your neighbors are getting inspections, it's reasonable to get one too, but choose the inspector from a list like this one, not from a flyer. Ice dams form when attic heat melts snow that refreezes at the eaves. A new roof alone won't fix them. Air sealing, attic insulation and ventilation do. If ice dams are your issue, ask whether the roofer works with an insulation contractor, or compare insulation contractors in St. Cloud as well.
