What affects your roof replacement price
- Roof size and pitch. Larger and steeper roofs need more material, labor, and safety setup.
- Material choice. Architectural asphalt is the value pick. Metal and designer shingles cost more but last longer.
- Tear off and layers. Removing old shingles and hauling them away adds labor, especially with multiple layers.
- Decking and structural repair. Soft or rotted decking found during tear off is replaced so the new roof sits on a sound base.
- Flashing, vents, and ice barrier. Northern code calls for ice and water shield at the eaves, which protects against ice dams.
- Permits and access. Local permits and hard to reach rooflines can affect the final figure.

How Freedom Exteriors does the work
We are a veteran owned contractor and we stand behind every job. You are not handed off to a subcontractor. Every job follows the same disciplined process:
- Inspection. We assess your current roof, decking, and ventilation and document any damage, wear, or problem areas.
- Written estimate. You get a clear scope and price, plus material and color options.
- Installation. Our own licensed and insured crews complete the work, most jobs without subcontractors.
- Cleanup and warranty. We clean the site fully and back the work with a workmanship warranty.
Northern roofs and winter weather
Roofs in Minnesota and Wisconsin take a beating from snow load, freeze and thaw cycles, ice dams, and summer hail and wind. If you see curling shingles, granules in the gutters, daylight in the attic, or water staining a ceiling after a storm, your roof is telling you it is time for an inspection. The best window for a planned replacement is usually late spring through fall, though we handle emergency storm repairs all year. When hail or wind damage is involved, we document the damage so you have what your insurer needs.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a roof replacement cost in Minnesota and Wisconsin?
A roof replacement in Minnesota and Wisconsin usually runs about $8,000 to $22,000, with a standard architectural asphalt roof on an average home near $12,000 to $15,000. Size, pitch, material, and decking repairs move the number, so a free estimate gives you an exact price.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most homes are completed in one to three days depending on roof size, pitch, and weather. Freedom Exteriors crews handle tear off, installation, and full cleanup.
Do you help with storm and hail damage claims?
Yes. We inspect storm and hail damage, document it for your insurer, and work directly with your claim so your roof is restored correctly.
Is Freedom Exteriors licensed and insured?
Yes. Freedom Exteriors is a veteran owned, fully licensed and insured residential roofing contractor. Every roofing service is completed by our own crews and backed by a workmanship warranty.
Do you offer financing for a new roof?
Yes. Freedom Exteriors offers financing options so you can replace your roof now and pay over time. Ask about plans during your free estimate.
What are the signs my roof needs replacing?
Common signs are curling, cracked, or missing shingles, granules collecting in your gutters, dark or sagging areas, daylight or leaks in the attic, and a roof past about twenty years old. Freedom Exteriors gives you a free inspection in Minnesota and Wisconsin and an honest read on whether a repair or a full replacement is the right call.
Should I repair my roof myself or hire a contractor?
Small fixes can tempt a do it yourself approach, but roof work carries real fall risk, can void material warranties when done incorrectly, and often hides damage that a trained eye catches. Freedom Exteriors sends licensed and insured crews so the work is safe, warranty backed, and done once. We inspect free before you spend a dollar.
How do I prevent ice dams on my roof?
Ice dams form when attic heat melts snow that refreezes at the cold eaves and backs water up under the shingles. Good attic insulation and ventilation, sealed air leaks, and proper ice and water shield at the eaves are the fixes. Freedom Exteriors checks for ice dam risk during your Minnesota and Wisconsin roof inspection and installs protection built for northern winters.
Why choose a veteran owned contractor?
Freedom Exteriors is a veteran owned exterior contractor, and that background shows in the work: clear communication, punctual crews, attention to detail, and standing behind the job. Homeowners in Minnesota and Wisconsin tell us they value the accountability and straight talk that come with a veteran run business.
What roofing material should I choose for my home?
Architectural asphalt shingle is the most popular choice in Minnesota and Wisconsin and typically runs about $8,000 to $18,000 installed, balancing cost and durability. Premium or designer shingles run about $14,000 to $26,000, and standing seam metal runs about $20,000 to $45,000 and lasts the longest. Freedom Exteriors walks you through the options during your free estimate and helps you match material to budget and how long you plan to stay.
How long does a new roof last?
A quality architectural asphalt roof commonly lasts around twenty years or more, while metal and designer shingles can last even longer. Lifespan depends on material, attic ventilation, and northern weather. Freedom Exteriors installs every roof with our own licensed and insured crews and backs the work with a workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer material coverage.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof?
Yes. A roof replacement in Minnesota and Wisconsin normally requires a local permit, and northern code calls for ice and water shield at the eaves. Freedom Exteriors pulls the permits and installs to local code so your roof passes inspection and protects against ice dams.
What should I expect during a roof replacement?
On install day our crew protects your landscaping and siding, tears off the old roof, replaces any bad decking, and installs the new roof, usually in one to three days. You do not need to leave your home while we work. Freedom Exteriors cleans the site fully, including a magnetic sweep for nails, before we finish.
How soon can you start, and do you handle storm emergencies?
For planned replacements we usually schedule your project within a short window after your free estimate, with late spring through fall the busiest season. For storm and hail damage we respond year round with emergency repairs to stop leaks fast. Freedom Exteriors crews then document the damage for your insurer and complete the permanent repair.
What shingle brands does Freedom Exteriors install?
Freedom Exteriors installs Owens Corning and CertainTeed architectural asphalt shingles on homes in Minnesota and Wisconsin, including the Owens Corning Duration line, along with synthetic underlayment and matching ridge and ventilation components. Standing seam metal is available where a homeowner wants the longest service life. Material, line, and color are chosen with you during your free on site estimate, and we show you real samples before anything is ordered.

Fascia work is quoted within the roof replacement estimate rather than as a separate service, so you see the full picture in one number. If your fascia shows rot, peeling paint, or gutters pulling away, point it out during the free inspection and we will include the fix in the estimate.
