Maplewood, Minnesota
Certified Roofing Company in Maplewood, MN
Roof pitch, plane length and flashing detail change block to block in Maplewood. Postwar ramblers sit near 1970s and 1980s split entries and rows of townhomes, so the roof next door is rarely a guide to yours. We measure and spec each one on its own, and we will say so when two houses on one street need different work.

Ten miles of city, two kinds of exposure
Maplewood runs about ten miles north to south, and the weather is not the same at both ends. Around Maplewood Mall the ground is open and flat, so wind gets a clean run at a ridge line and at any plane facing it. Down at the Battle Creek end there is sandstone bluff and ravine, more tree cover, and north planes that stay shaded and slow to dry. Near Wakefield Lake and the 3M campus you get some of both. On a split entry the valley over the entry or garage bump out leaks first. On a rambler it is the long plane that has baked. A few of the older houses toward the Saint Paul line still carry slate, and our slate roofing work there starts with repair, since a sound slate roof outlasts anything asphalt we could put in its place.
What roofing in Maplewood actually involves
Townhome rows need one plan
A row of townhomes is one continuous roof with several owners under it. Staging, the tie in at each party wall and matching what is already up there all get agreed in writing before the first bundle lands on the roof.
Open ground near the mall takes wind
Flat, open land around Maplewood Mall lets wind get a clean run at a ridge or a west facing plane. Ridge caps and rake edges are what lift first out there, and they are worth upgrading while the roof is already off.
Ravine blocks dry slowly
At the Battle Creek end the bluffs and tree cover keep north planes shaded most of the day. Those roofs hold moisture, grow moss along the courses and rot a deck edge quietly, so we check the side you never see.

Maplewood questions
What homeowners here ask us most. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
Do I need a permit to tear off and reroof in Maplewood?
Yes. The city runs its own building department, and a tear-off and reroof needs a permit pulled before work starts. The contractor has to be licensed as well, either with the state or with Maplewood. We handle the application, keep the permit posted on site and schedule the final inspection with the city.
My Maplewood townhome shares a roof with the neighbors. How does that work?
It depends on the association. Some boards run the whole row as one project, others leave each owner to arrange their own unit. Either way the tie in at the party wall and the shingle match matter, so we scope the full run, talk to whoever holds the decision, and put in writing what is included.
Does a rambler go faster than a split entry?
Usually. A rambler is long low planes with few interruptions, so tear-off and load out move quickly. A split entry has more elevations, more valleys and often an upper wall to flash into, which is slower and more detailed work. We count those transitions when we measure, so the number of days on your quote reflects what your roof actually asks for.
