Pricing guide
What roofing costs in Maple Grove
Maple Grove has three kinds of house — 1980s ramblers, 1990s two-stories, and the big walkouts toward Medina — and each has its own roofing number. Repair prices by job, ice dam removal and prevention, replacement by house size, and steel against shingle, for Hennepin County in 2026. Typical ranges, not a quote; a real price comes after the roof and the attic have both been looked at.
Start with the house, not the price list
Maple Grove roofs come in three sizes. The 1980s ramblers and split-entries along the Osseo border and near Fish Lake run 15–22 squares (a square is 100 square feet). The two-story colonials around Weaver Lake, Rice Lake and Eagle Lake run 26–32 squares, more with a bonus room over the garage. The walkouts and customs toward Corcoran and Medina run 35–55 squares with hips, dormers and a pitch that needs staging. Know which house you have and the ranges below get narrow fast.
Everything here is a typical 2026 range for Hennepin County, not a quote. A contractor should price only after being on the roof and in the attic.
Replacement, by the square and by the house
An architectural shingle tear-off in Maple Grove typically prices at $450–$800 per square. That should cover hauling off the old roof, ice-and-water membrane at the eaves, synthetic underlayment, new boots and flashing, a ridge vent, the city permit and the magnet sweep.
| Typical Maple Grove house | Squares | Architectural shingle | Standing-seam steel |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1980s rambler, Osseo side | 15 – 18 | $8,500 – $12,500 | $19,000 – $34,000 |
| Split-entry, 1,500 sq ft | 18 – 22 | $9,500 – $15,500 | $22,000 – $42,000 |
| 1990s two-story near Weaver Lake | 26 – 30 | $12,500 – $22,000 | $32,000 – $58,000 |
| Walkout two-story, bonus room, valleys | 32 – 38 | $16,000 – $28,000 | $40,000 – $72,000 |
| Corcoran / Medina custom on acreage | 42 – 55 | $22,000 – $40,000 | $52,000 – $100,000 |
- 1980s rambler, Osseo side$8,500–$12,500
- Split-entry, 1,500 sq ft$9,500–$15,500
- 1990s two-story near Weaver Lake$12,500–$22,000
- Walkout two-story with valleys$16,000–$28,000
- Corcoran / Medina custom$22,000–$40,000
Typical ranges, not a quote.
Steel is gaining ground here because a standing-seam roof sheds the snow that would otherwise dam and shrugs off the hail that bruises shingles. Stone-coated steel shingles split the difference at $900–$1,400 per square. Class 4 impact-rated architectural shingles cost $30–$80 per square extra, and many insurers offer a discount for them; ask your agent for the figure.
Repair pricing for the most common jobs
Repairs here cluster around a short list. The first three are ice dam work, because that's what January brings.
- Steam removal of an ice dam while water is coming in: $400–$1,500 depending on length and how thick it's built.
- Rebuilding the eave afterward, with new shingles, drip edge and membrane on the first courses: $400–$1,500.
- Attic air sealing, baffles and added insulation: $2,000–$5,000. This is the line that stops the dam from coming back, and Xcel Energy or CenterPoint have offered rebates that can cover part of it; check current programs.
- Wind-lifted or missing shingles after a straight-line wind event: $300–$800 for a small area.
- Pipe boot that cracked in the cold: $250–$450, shingles around it included.
- Chimney flashing, step and counter-flashing plus a cricket on the uphill side: $600–$1,500.
- Valley re-laid over membrane: $500–$1,200.
- Decking swapped for rot: $90–$150 a sheet.
- Steam removal of an ice dam$400–$1,500

The typical repair invoice lands between $300 and $1,500. When a repair on a roof past its 18th winter pushes $2,500, it's time to look at the replacement table too; the repair versus replacement guide covers that judgment, and the Maple Grove roof repair page explains each job.
Why two identical-looking houses get different quotes
- Roof pitch. Past 8/12 the crew works off staging. Figure 10–20% more.
- A second layer. Plenty of 1980s houses here got a roof-over in the early 2000s. Stripping both adds $1,000–$2,500 in labor and dumpster weight.
- Rotted decking. A north eave that has dammed for a decade can need six or eight sheets. Ask for a per-sheet allowance in the quote and photos before any extra sheets are billed.
- Membrane coverage. Code requires an ice barrier at the eaves; check the current extent with the city. On a north slope that has stained a ceiling twice, running it full-slope typically adds $300–$900.
- Cut-up roofs. Every valley, dormer, skylight and chimney is a flashing detail. A straight gable is cheap; a hip with four dormers is not.
- Soffit ventilation. Adding vents and baffles where a builder skipped them is $400–$1,200 during a tear-off and painful later. The ice dam page explains why it matters.
- Timing. Prices don't move much with the season, but after a June hail event the non-emergency schedule often runs three to six weeks out.
What the cheap quote left out
Roof replacement quotes in Maple Grove vary by thousands for the same house, and the gap is almost always a missing line. Look for: full tear-off rather than a roof-over; membrane rows at the eave, in the valleys and around penetrations; synthetic underlayment; the shingle line by name with its wind rating; six nails per shingle; a per-sheet decking price; new flashing throughout; ridge and soffit ventilation; the permit; both warranties in years; and a Minnesota DLI residential contractor license number you can look up. The 2026 replacement cost guide goes through each one.
Costs owners forget to budget for
The roofing quote is rarely the whole bill. Set aside money for the items that sit next to the roof job:
- Interior repairs. A ceiling stain that has been wet for a while often needs drywall, primer and paint, and sometimes new insulation above it.
- Gutters. Old gutters that ice has pulled loose are usually cheaper to replace while the roof is open. Gutter work is often a separate trade, so get its own price.
- Skylights. A skylight past 20 years old is worth replacing during a re-roof. A failed unit runs $1,200–$2,500.
- The attic. Air sealing and insulation run $2,000–$5,000 and are what stops ice dams from coming back.
- Extra decking. Even with an allowance in the quote, a north eave can surprise you. Keep a few hundred dollars aside.
Roofing cost in Maple Grove: how to lower it without cutting corners
Book a replacement for spring or early fall rather than the weeks after a hail storm, when schedules are full. Do the cheap repairs, like pipe boots, before they rot a sheet of decking. Fix the attic first, so the next roof isn't fighting ice dams. Get two or three written quotes with the same scope. And ask whether doing several small repairs in one visit costs less than separate trips. It usually does.
Insurance, rebates and financing
Hail bruising and wind creasing are sudden damage and a claim usually pays; a worn-out 24-year-old roof is not covered. Ice dam water inside the house generally is, while the attic insulation that prevents the next one is not, though utility rebates may help there. Contractor financing commonly runs 12–60 months through manufacturer programs; on a $15,000 roof a home equity line is often cheaper money. Get both options in writing alongside the quote.

Roof Inspection →Questions roofers get asked
What does a new roof cost on a 1990s two-story near Weaver Lake?
Those houses carry 26–30 squares of roof. Architectural shingles with a full tear-off and membrane at the eaves and valleys typically land at $12,500–$22,000; standing-seam steel is $32,000–$58,000. A plain gable with no valleys sits at the low end. A bonus room over the garage, two dormers and a 10/12 pitch push it to the high end.
Why is ice dam removal priced separately from the eave repair?
Because they happen on different days. Steaming the dam off while water is dripping into the kitchen is $400–$1,500 and has to happen now. Rebuilding the shingles, drip edge and membrane the ice lifted is $400–$1,500 and waits for a day above 40°F. The attic work that stops the next dam is a third job at $2,000–$5,000, and the only one of the three that pays for itself.
Is the estimate free, and is an inspection the same thing?
A repair or replacement estimate is usually free and should be written. A formal roof inspection buyers and sellers ask for — walked roof, attic, photos, a report you can hand to an adjuster or a closing table — typically runs $150–$300. Ask about any fee before the visit; nobody should be charging you to hear a replacement pitch.
