Disclosure first, same as always: I run a roofing company that works Bloomington, and it's on this list. Read everything below with that in mind.
Here's why I write these anyway. Search "Bloomington roofers" and most of what comes back was assembled by marketing firms ranking companies by who paid for the slot. Bloomington deserves a straighter answer. It's one of the biggest cities in Minnesota — pushing 90,000 people — and the housing stock comes in distinct waves: post-WWII ramblers across Brookside and West Bloomington, the '70s and '80s split-level wave around Penn Lake and the Quaker Lane corridor, and newer customs along Auto Club Road and Anderson Lakes Parkway. Most of those homes are on their third or fourth roof by now, and a lot of them took hail in June 2023. The right contractor for a 1952 rambler with soft decking is not automatically the right contractor for a 2015 custom — and neither one should be a truck that showed up the week after a storm.
This is my honest read on who's good in Bloomington — including where my own company isn't the right fit.
How I Graded (So You Can Check My Work)
Before any names, the criteria. The same five things I'd tell my own sister to check before hiring anyone, me included:
- A current MN Department of Labor & Industry license. Non-negotiable. Look it up at dli.mn.gov — two minutes.
- Manufacturer certifications you can verify on the manufacturer's own dealer locator, not just a logo on a website.
- Real, recent, local reviews. Read the last ten, don't count them. Do the same crew names recur? Do they describe how problems got fixed?
- Who answers in year six. Warranty paper is only worth the company still being around and picking up the phone.
- Insurance-claim behavior. Anyone offering to "waive your deductible" is describing insurance fraud — illegal in Minnesota.
1. Modern Exterior Systems — Bloomington & the South Metro
Yes, my company. Here's the case, and the honest catch.
Start with June 2023, because that's the core of our Bloomington track record. That hail cycle put dozens of Bloomington insurance roofs through our crews — concentrated in Brookside, West Bloomington, and around Penn Lake. Those weren't door-knocked sales; they were hail-claim roofs we documented, scoped, and installed, one at a time. And here's how we handle insurance work, stated plainly: you file your own claim and you pay your own deductible — Minnesota Statute 325E.66 makes deductible-waiving illegal, full stop. What we do is the contractor's half done right: on-roof photography, meeting your adjuster on the property when possible, scopes written so carriers can validate them, and supplements when the first scope misses real damage.
Bloomington's older housing stock is the other half of the job. Most Brookside and West Bloomington ramblers are on their third or fourth roof, so we quote a decking allowance upfront — typically 5 to 15 sheets at the eaves and valleys — and bill the actual replacement, not a padded flat percentage. On the '70s–'80s splits around Quaker Lane, the roof, siding, and windows often age out together, and doing them with one crew under one warranty beats juggling three contractors.
We're women-owned and family-operated, we carry five manufacturer certifications (CertainTeed ShingleMaster, Malarkey Emerald Pro, Atlas Pro+ Silver Select, LP SmartSide Preferred, James Hardie Preferred — verify them here), we're BBB A+ accredited, and every residential roof gets a lifetime workmanship warranty for as long as you own the home. In a city that took June 2023 on the chin, we'll quote standard architectural asphalt and the impact-resistant Class 4 upgrade side by side, every time. I personally review every project over $40,000.
Best for: Bloomington homeowners who want a contractor with real local hail-claim reps, the owner reachable by phone, and roofing, storm work, siding, windows, and gutters quoted under one warranty. Full details on our local work, Bloomington pricing, and permit answers are on our Bloomington roofing, siding & windows page.
The honest catch: we're not the cheapest bid and we're not a volume shop. Most Bloomington asphalt replacements run $14,000–$32,000 depending on size, pitch, and how much decking comes up at tear-off; premium materials run higher. You can get a ballpark in about 60 seconds without talking to anyone, or request a free quote if you'd rather start with an inspection.
2. Snap Construction — Bloomington's 494 Corridor
A full-exterior company whose office sits on American Boulevard in the 55420 zip — Bloomington's own 494 strip — which makes them one of the most literally local names on this list. They're an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor with an A+ BBB rating, they handle roofing alongside siding, windows, insulation, and decks, and they maintain a strong storm-restoration and insurance-claim practice.
Best for: homeowners who want a Bloomington-based, multi-trade shop — especially for insurance-claim projects where you want a contractor organized around that process.
Trade-off to weigh: multi-trade companies live and die by crew consistency — ask who specifically your project manager and crew lead will be, and ask to see recent roofing projects, not just siding.
3. Sela Roofing & Remodeling — Twin Cities Metro
One of the oldest and biggest roofing names in the Twin Cities — at it since 1982 — with the infrastructure to match: large crews, a showroom, established systems. When a Bloomington homeowner mentions a Sela bid, I never have to explain who that is.
Best for: homeowners who want big-company depth — scheduling capacity and a brand that's weathered every Minnesota storm season.
Trade-off to weigh: with any large operation, the person who sells your job, runs it, and handles your year-three callback are usually three different people. Some homeowners prefer that; some don't.
4. Trinity Exteriors — Southwest Metro
A serious southwest-metro operator based in neighboring Eden Prairie, with an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred credential — the top tier of that manufacturer's program — and a strong storm-restoration practice. They work Bloomington regularly and maintain a dedicated local presence here, and the homeowners I've talked to describe an organized claim process.
Best for: storm-damage and insurance-claim projects where you want an established contractor who lives in that paperwork daily.
Trade-off to weigh: storm-focused companies shine in claim work; for a planned, out-of-pocket reroof, ask to see examples of that exact kind of project and confirm the timeline.
5. Minnesota Exteriors (MEI) — Osseo / Twin Cities Metro
My respect for this one is on the record: Minnesota Exteriors is where I got my start in this trade. Family-owned since 1947 — third generation now — and based in Osseo, MEI built its name installing for home builders and earning referrals off that work. They handle the full exterior on residential and multifamily projects, and Bloomington is squarely inside their stated service area.
Best for: homeowners who want a deeply established, referral-built company — especially for planned, new-construction-grade work rather than a storm claim.
Trade-off to weigh: their home base and heaviest track record are in the northwest metro. If you're in a post-war Bloomington rambler with decking questions, ask to see recent projects on houses like yours.
6. Quarve Contracting — North Metro
A long-established specialist — roofing since 1983 out of Spring Lake Park — known particularly for steel roofing and seamless steel siding, and Bloomington is on their published service map. If you're weighing a metal roof on a Bloomington home rather than standard asphalt, a dedicated specialist is the right kind of company to talk to. Metal's hail resilience is part of why homeowners ask about it more every year.
Best for: homeowners specifically considering steel roofing or steel siding who want a contractor focused on those systems.
Trade-off to weigh: a specialist is built around its specialty — if your project is a straightforward asphalt reroof, make sure that's squarely in their lane and priced competitively.
Who's NOT on This List — and Why
Bloomington learned this one the hard way in the summer of 2023. After the hail hit, driveways across Brookside and West Bloomington filled with yard signs from companies nobody had heard of before the storm — and nobody's heard from since. Some were legitimate; many were out-of-state storm chasers gone before the first winter. Three tells:
- They knocked within 48 hours of a storm and want you to sign an "inspection agreement" on the spot. Don't sign anything that assigns your claim.
- They offer to cover or waive your deductible. In Minnesota, that's illegal — walk away.
- Their address is a PO box or an out-of-state suite. Check the MN DLI license database before anyone gets on your roof.
The Bottom Line From a Guy Who Competes With These Companies
Get two or three bids — even if one is mine. Read the last ten reviews on each, verify the license at dli.mn.gov, and ask every bidder the same question: "Who specifically answers the phone if this roof has a problem in year six?" In Bloomington, add one more: "How do you price decking replacement on a 70-year-old roof?" A contractor who quotes an allowance and bills actuals is being straight with you. One who shrugs and says "we'll see at tear-off" is planning a change order.

How much does a roof replacement cost in Bloomington?
Most Bloomington asphalt roof replacements run $14,000 to $32,000 in 2026, depending on size, pitch, and how many layers come off. Bloomington's older housing stock is why the range runs wide: most homes here need 5–15 sheets of decking replaced at tear-off, and an honest quote includes that allowance upfront. Premium materials — synthetic slate, cedar, standing seam metal — run $25,000 to $70,000+.
Can I still do anything about June 2023 hail damage?
Maybe — but don't wait on it. Insurance policies set deadlines for storm-damage claims, and those windows close; read your policy or ask your insurance agent where you stand. What I can tell you from working dozens of Bloomington roofs after that storm: hail damage isn't always visible from the ground, and granule loss that looked cosmetic in 2023 has had three winters to become something worse. Get an actual on-roof inspection and a written condition report before you make any decision.
Do Bloomington roofers handle the insurance claim for me?
No legitimate contractor files your claim — you file it, and you pay your own deductible. Minnesota Statute 325E.66 makes deductible-waiving illegal, so treat any offer to "cover" it as the red flag it is. What a good contractor does do: document the damage with on-roof photos, meet your adjuster on the property, write a scope your carrier can validate, and file supplements when the first scope misses real damage.
Does Bloomington require a permit for roof replacement?
Yes. The City of Bloomington requires a building permit for roof replacement — the Building & Inspections Division is at 1800 West Old Shakopee Road, (952) 563-8930. Any legitimate contractor pulls the permit before crews start and includes the fee in the quote. Permitted work gets inspected, which protects you at resale.
How do I verify a Minnesota roofing contractor's license?
Search the contractor's name in the Minnesota Department of Labor & Industry license lookup at dli.mn.gov. Every legitimate residential contractor has a BC license number — ours is BC762305, in the footer of every page on this site.
