Roofing Contractor in Inver Grove Heights, MN | Hoyt Exteriors
Your roof is your home's first line of defense against Minnesota's harsh winters. From ice dams to freeze-thaw cycles, Inver Grove Heights's weather demands durability. We've managed hundreds of roofs across the Twin Cities metro — and we know exactly what Inver Grove Heights properties need to survive Minnesota winter.
Why Roofing Matters in Inver Grove Heights
Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on roofs. Water seeps under shingles, freezes, expands, and tears the membrane. By spring, what looked like minor damage has become a $30,000 problem. Our drone thermal imaging catches these moisture issues *before* they destroy your roof.
Inver Grove Heights's Specific Roofing Challenges
Inver Grove Heights homes face specific roof challenges. Older roofs (20+ years) commonly develop ice dams and seam separation. Newer homes sometimes have insulation gaps that create heat loss and ice dam formation. Our thermal imaging reveals both.

We replace roofs the right way: proper ventilation + adequate insulation + quality shingles + workmanship warranty. Your roof will survive Minnesota winters for 25+ years — not 15. That's the Hoyt difference.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roof last in Minnesota?
Asphalt shingles last 15-25 years in Minnesota's climate. Metal roofs last 40-50+ years. The difference? Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles are hard on standard shingles. We recommend quality shingles (GAF or similar) with proper ventilation to maximize lifespan.
When should I repair vs. replace my roof?
If your roof is under 15 years old and damage is localized (small leaks, missing shingles), repair is cheaper. If it's over 20 years old or showing widespread damage, replacement is usually more cost-effective. A thermal inspection ($2,500) gives you the clear answer.
How do I prevent ice dams?
Three steps: (1) Insulate your attic to R-30+, (2) Ensure proper roof ventilation, (3) Keep gutters clean. Ice dams form when attic heat melts snow, then water refreezes at the cold eaves. Fix the heat loss, eliminate the problem.
What should I do after winter storm damage?
Document everything with photos. Call your insurance company immediately. Don't delay — temporary waterproofing is critical. We coordinate with insurance adjusters and can often expedite claims with thermal imaging documentation.
What's included in your roofing warranty?
We provide material warranty (typically 25+ years) plus workmanship warranty (10 years minimum). This means if something fails due to installation, we fix it at no cost.
