Let's get the awkward part out of the way first: I run a roofing company in Eden Prairie, and it's on this list. So you should read everything below with that in mind.
But here's why I wrote it anyway. When homeowners search "best roofing companies Eden Prairie," what they find is lists written by marketing agencies in other states — companies ranked by who bought the ad slot, not who shows up when your roof leaks in February. I've spent 20+ years on roofs in this metro. I know who the serious operators are, because I see their work when I'm doing inspections, and I hear about them from homeowners who got multiple bids. That's a better data set than a content farm has.
So this is my honest read on the local market — including where my own company is not the right fit. Judge for yourself.
How I Graded (So You Can Check My Work)
Before any names, here's the criteria. These are 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 yourself at the DLI website — takes two minutes.
- Manufacturer certifications you can verify. Not badges on a website — listings on the manufacturer's own dealer locator. Certified installers get better warranty terms to pass on to you.
- Real, recent, local reviews. Not the count — read the last ten. Do they mention the same crew lead twice? Do they describe how problems got fixed?
- Who answers when something goes wrong in year 6. Warranty paper is only worth the company behind it still existing — and still picking up the phone.
- Insurance-claim behavior. Anyone who offers to "waive your deductible" is describing insurance fraud. That's a Minnesota statute issue, and it tells you everything about how they run the rest of the job.
1. Modern Exterior Systems (Modex) — Eden Prairie
Yes, my company. Here's the case, and the catch.
We're based right here in Eden Prairie — not a branch office, my actual home base. Women-owned, 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. I personally review every project over $40,000, and on storm claims my crew lead is on your roof within 24–48 hours documenting damage with on-roof photos — the adjuster meeting is where claims get won or lost, and we want to be in that room with you.
Best for: homeowners who want the owner reachable by phone, premium material options (DaVinci synthetic slate, standing seam, cedar) quoted side-by-side with standard asphalt, and one contractor who handles roofing, siding, windows, and gutters under one warranty.
The honest catch: we're not the cheapest bid you'll get, and we're not built for volume. If you want the lowest number or a 40-crew operation that can reroof your whole cul-de-sac in a week, that's not us. A typical asphalt replacement with us runs $14,000–$28,000; premium materials run $35,000–$90,000+. You can get a ballpark in about 60 seconds without talking to anyone.
2. Sela Roofing & Remodeling — Twin Cities Metro
One of the oldest and biggest roofing names in the Twin Cities — they've been at it for decades and have the infrastructure to show for it: big crews, showroom, established processes. When homeowners tell me they got a Sela bid, I never have to explain who that is.
Best for: homeowners who want big-company depth — scheduling capacity, longevity you don't have to wonder about, and a brand that's been through every kind of Minnesota storm season.
Trade-off to weigh: with any large operation, the person who sells your job, the person who runs it, and the person who handles your year-3 callback are usually three different people. Some homeowners prefer that structure. Some don't.
3. Trinity Exteriors — Eden Prairie / Southwest Metro
A serious southwest-metro operator with a strong storm-restoration practice. They show up a lot in Eden Prairie and the surrounding suburbs, and the homeowners I've talked to describe an organized insurance-claim process.
Best for: storm-damage and insurance-claim projects where you want a contractor who lives in that paperwork daily.
Trade-off to weigh: storm-restoration-focused companies are at their best in storm season and claim work; if your project is a planned, out-of-pocket premium reroof, ask to see examples of that specific kind of job.
4. Minnesota Exteriors — Northwest Metro
A long-established, multi-trade exteriors company — roofing, siding, windows — that's been serving the metro for generations of homeowners. Their longevity alone puts them on any serious list; companies don't survive that long in this market by doing bad work.
Best for: homeowners in the north and west metro who want an established multi-trade shop with a long institutional track record.
Trade-off to weigh: they're based farther north — for Eden Prairie addresses, ask how often they're working in the southwest suburbs and who your local point of contact is.
5. Kaufman Roofing — Twin Cities
A roofing-focused shop with a solid local reputation among homeowners who've used them. Roofing-only focus has a real advantage: crews that do one thing all day, every day.
Best for: straightforward asphalt replacements where you want a roofing specialist rather than a generalist.
Trade-off to weigh: if your project bundles siding, gutters, or windows, a roofing-only shop means coordinating multiple contractors and multiple warranties.
Who's NOT on This List — and Why
After every major hailstorm, Eden Prairie driveways fill up with yard signs from companies you've never heard of and won't hear from again. Some are legitimate. Many are out-of-state storm chasers who'll be gone before your shingles' first winter. Three tells:
- They knocked on your door 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 number. 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. Seriously — even if one of them is mine. Read the last ten reviews on each company, verify the license, and ask every bidder the same question: "Who specifically answers the phone if this roof has a problem in year six?" The answer — and how fast they give it — will tell you more than any ranking, including this one.
FAQ
Who is the best roofing company in Eden Prairie?
There's no single answer — it depends on your project. For owner-led service and premium materials, Modern Exterior Systems (that's us, based in Eden Prairie). For big-company infrastructure, Sela. For insurance-claim-heavy storm work, Trinity Exteriors. Match the company's strength to your project type, then verify license and reviews.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Eden Prairie?
Standard architectural asphalt runs $14,000–$28,000 for most Eden Prairie homes. Premium materials — synthetic slate, standing seam metal, cedar shake — run $35,000–$90,000+. Anyone quoting far below that range is cutting something you can't see.
How do I verify a Minnesota roofing contractor's license?
Search the contractor's name in the Minnesota Department of Labor & Industry's license lookup at dli.mn.gov. Every legitimate residential contractor has a BC license number — ours is BC762305, and it's in the footer of every page on this site.
Should I hire a local roofer or a national company?
Local has one structural advantage: the company that installs your roof is the company that services it in year 10. National and storm-chasing operations rotate territories. If you go national, get the warranty servicing terms in writing.
Is it illegal for a roofer to waive my insurance deductible in Minnesota?
Yes. Minnesota law prohibits contractors from paying or absorbing your deductible on an insurance claim. A contractor who offers it is committing insurance fraud and asking you to participate.
How many bids should I get for a roof replacement?
Two or three. One bid gives you no reference point; five wastes your time and the contractors'. Make sure every bid specifies the same shingle line and scope so you're comparing apples to apples.
