Repair types
Types of storm damage repairs and typical cost ranges
Minnesota storm damage falls into five main categories. Each carries different repair costs and insurance coverage patterns.
Hail partial repair
$1,400–$8,000
Localized hail damage on isolated slopes, shingle replacement on specific sections, or granule restoration where mat exposure is limited. Best for newer roofs under 15 years with damage confined to one or two slopes. Insurance often covers when damage exceeds the deductible.
Full hail replacement
$14,000–$28,000 (asphalt) or $35,000–$90,000+ (premium)
Required when hail damage spans the majority of the roof or when granule loss has exposed the asphalt mat across multiple slopes. Insurance typically covers minus deductible when damage threshold is met. Premium materials like architectural shingles or metal cost more but last longer.
Wind damage repair
$800–$5,000
Lifted shingles, blown-off ridge caps, soffit and fascia damage from 50–80 mph wind events. Full-roof loss patterns from higher-velocity events (90+ mph straight-line wind or tornadic activity) push into replacement territory. Wind claims typically process faster than hail.
Ice dam repair
$800–$3,000 (plus $1,500–$5,000 for root-cause fix)
Damaged shingles, decking, and underlayment at roof edges where ice dams backed water under the membrane. Root-cause fixes like attic ventilation, insulation upgrades, and ice-and-water shield retrofit prevent recurrence but add cost. Insurance covers damage; prevention upgrades may require separate approval.
Emergency tarping
$500–$1,500 (same-day or next-day response)
Same-day or next-day tarp installation for active leaks or open-roof storm damage. Insurance reimbursable in most carrier scopes as a mitigation cost. Modex provides 24-hour response for active water damage to prevent secondary structural loss.
Insurance math
How deductibles and coverage work in Minnesota
Most Minnesota homeowners policies carry $1,000–$5,000 deductibles for hail and wind damage. Example: a $24,000 hail claim minus a $2,500 deductible equals $21,500 in carrier payment. You pay the deductible to the contractor; the contractor delivers the carrier-approved work scope. Modex does not waive deductibles—that violates Minnesota Statute 325E.66 and signals corner-cutting.

Documentation
We photograph damage and submit supplement requests
Modex documents missing items with on-roof photography—rotted decking, ice-and-water shield gaps, ridge vent retrofits, insulation upgrades, and structural fasteners. We submit these findings to your carrier with evidence. Most supplements are approved when properly documented, ensuring your roof meets manufacturer and code requirements.
Recent storms
June 2023 hail damage still being claimed in 2026
The June 2023 Twin Cities storm cycle brought significant hail damage to western metro suburbs. Neighborhoods like Bearpath, Mitchell Lake, and Anderson Lakes in Eden Prairie, Brookside and West Bloomington in Bloomington, and Country Club and Morningside in Edina were hit hard.
