Same disclosure I lead with every time: I run a roofing company that works Maple Grove, and it's on this list. Read everything below with that in mind.
Here's why I write these anyway. Search "best roofing companies Maple Grove" and most of what comes back is from lead-resale sites and out-of-state marketing firms, ranking companies by who paid for the slot. Maple Grove deserves a straighter answer than that. It's one of the fastest-grown suburbs in the state, and most of it went up between roughly 1990 and 2005 — which means something specific is happening right now: whole subdivisions of original builder-grade roofs are hitting 20 to 30 years old at the same time. Add Minnesota hail to that, and you've got two very different reasons a Maple Grove homeowner ends up needing a roof. The right contractor can tell which one you're actually dealing with.
This is my honest read on who's good in Maple Grove — 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 — Maple Grove & the Northwest Metro
Yes, my company. Here's the case, and the honest catch.
We've done dozens of roofs across Maple Grove, and they split almost perfectly along the city's two storylines. In the older southern neighborhoods, most of our work is age-related — original builder roofs from the '90s that have simply run out their service life. Up around Arbor Lakes, more of it is hail-damage replacement. Knowing which one you're in matters, because an aging-out roof and a storm-claim roof are two completely different conversations — one's a planned, out-of-pocket project, the other runs through your insurance carrier. We'll tell you straight which one you've actually got, even when the honest answer is "you've got a couple more years." And it's not just roofs — Maple Grove's older homes are now hitting the age where the original siding and windows are wearing out too, and we're seeing more and more of that across the city. Doing the roof, siding, and windows with one crew under one warranty beats coordinating three contractors on three timelines.
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. On a hail-prone city with big open rooflines like Maple Grove, we'll quote the impact-resistant Class 4 shingle right next to standard architectural asphalt so you can see the trade-off, instead of being steered to whatever installs fastest. I personally review every project over $40,000.
Best for: Maple Grove homeowners who want an honest read on whether it's age or storm driving the replacement, the owner reachable by phone, and roofing, storm work, siding, windows, and gutters quoted under one warranty.
The honest catch: we're not the cheapest bid and we're not a volume shop. A typical asphalt replacement runs $14,000–$28,000; bigger or premium-material roofs run higher. You can get a ballpark in about 60 seconds without talking to anyone, or book an inspection if you just want to know where your roof stands.
2. Minnesota Exteriors (MEI) — Northwest Metro
I'll put my respect for this one on the record: Minnesota Exteriors is actually where I got my start in this trade, and they've earned their reputation the slow way. Family-owned since 1947 and based right up the road in Osseo, MEI built its name installing for home builders and earning referrals off that work — which tells you something about the quality of the install. They handle the full exterior: roofing, siding, windows, and gutters.
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 strength is builder-quality installation and referral work, not insurance-claim storm restoration. If you're filing a hail claim, ask specifically how they handle the adjuster process — or bring in a contractor who lives in that work daily.
3. Wright at Home Roofing & Exteriors — Twin Cities Metro
A long-running metro roofing and exteriors company — in business since 2000 — with one of the deepest review counts you'll find locally. That volume of recent, consistent feedback is its own kind of proof, and as a multi-trade shop they handle roofing alongside siding and gutters.
Best for: homeowners who want a high-volume, well-reviewed company with a long metro track record.
Trade-off to weigh: high-volume operations run on crews and process — ask who specifically your project manager and crew lead will be, and confirm recent reviews still describe consistent work.
4. Capital Siding, Windows & Roofing — Twin Cities Metro
An established multi-trade exterior company that's been at it since the late 1980s, handling siding and windows alongside roofing. For a Maple Grove home where the '90s-era roof, siding, and windows are all aging out together, a true multi-trade shop can do the whole envelope on one timeline.
Best for: homeowners bundling roofing with siding and windows who want one established company for the whole exterior.
Trade-off to weigh: any company spanning several trades should still show you specific recent roofing projects — ask to see roofs, not just siding, and confirm who self-performs the work.
5. Craftsmen Home Improvements — West Metro
A west-metro home-improvement company established in 1991 — 30-plus years in one market is its own credential. As a multi-trade shop they handle roofing alongside siding, windows, and decks, which suits a Maple Grove home where several things are aging out at once.
Best for: homeowners who want an established, decades-deep multi-trade company with a long west-metro track record.
Trade-off to weigh: longtime operations run on crews and process — ask who specifically your project manager and crew lead will be, and read recent reviews to confirm the experience is still consistent.
Who's NOT on This List — and Why
After every hailstorm, Maple Grove driveways fill 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 gone before your shingles' 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 Maple Grove especially, add one more: "Is this an age problem or a storm problem?" — because the honest answer changes whether you're filing a claim or planning a project, and a contractor who'll tell you straight is the one worth the rest of your trust.

How much does a roof replacement cost in Maple Grove?
Standard architectural asphalt runs roughly $14,000–$28,000 for most Maple Grove homes, depending on size, pitch, and how many layers come off. The impact-resistant Class 4 upgrade — worth a real look in a hail-prone city — adds to that, and premium materials like synthetic slate, cedar, or standing seam metal run well higher. A number far below the range for your roof usually means something's being cut.
My Maple Grove home is from the '90s or early 2000s — does it need a new roof yet?
Quite possibly. A lot of Maple Grove went up between 1990 and 2005 with standard builder-grade asphalt, and those roofs are now 20 to 30 years old — right at the end of their rated life. The tells are cracked or curling tabs, granule loss filling the gutters, and failing flashing at chimneys and pipe boots. The only way to know for sure is an on-roof look. Book an inspection and we'll tell you whether it's due or whether you've got a few years left.
Should I file an insurance claim or pay out of pocket in Maple Grove?
It depends on the cause. Sudden storm damage — hail or wind — is what homeowners insurance is for, and around Arbor Lakes a lot of replacements run through claims. A roof that's simply worn out from age is normal maintenance and isn't a covered claim. The first step is a real inspection to determine which one you've got; a contractor pushing you to file a claim on an obviously age-worn roof is a red flag.
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.
How many bids should I get for a roof replacement?
Two or three. One gives you no reference point; five wastes everyone's time. Make sure every bid specifies the same materials and scope so you're comparing apples to apples — especially if you're weighing standard asphalt against a Class 4 or premium upgrade.
