Why is Sellers Roofing the right roofing contractor for Minneapolis?

Sellers Roofing Company is a family-owned, Black-owned roofing contractor founded in 2007 and based in Saint Paul’s Midway neighborhood — approximately 8–9 miles from downtown Minneapolis, typically 20–30 minutes in non-peak traffic. We’re an MBE/DBE-certified contractor and Roofers Local 96 union affiliate, which means our crews have completed formal apprenticeships and we’re qualified for Minneapolis city, county, and publicly-funded roofing projects requiring certified contractor documentation. We carry full general liability and workers’ compensation. Rated 4.8 stars on Google and BBB A+ accredited since 2007.

Our commercial work in and around Minneapolis includes TPO and EPDM flat-roof replacement on retail and light-industrial buildings along the Lake Street and Hennepin corridors, modified bitumen re-roofing on apartment and mixed-use buildings, and ongoing maintenance contracts for property management companies operating multi-building portfolios. On the residential side, Minneapolis represents a major share of our volume — from craftsman bungalows in Linden Hills to post-war ramblers in Powderhorn to multifamily buildings in Cedar-Riverside.

What roofing challenges do Minneapolis homes and buildings face?

Minneapolis has one of the most varied building stocks in the Midwest, which means we encounter nearly every roof type on a regular basis. The Northeast Arts District and North Loop are full of flat or low-slope commercial and mixed-use roofs — many originally built-up (BUR) systems now reaching the end of their service life and being converted to TPO or EPDM. Uptown’s dense residential blocks are heavy with architectural asphalt shingles, and many pre-1950 homes in Lyn-Lake and Whittier retain the original steep-pitch framing that benefits from ice-and-water shield all the way up the eave.

The Hennepin and Lyndale commercial corridors are dotted with retail strip and mid-block commercial buildings that need regular flat-roof maintenance contracts. In Powderhorn and the Phillips neighborhood, 1940s–1960s ramblers and two-stories often still have the original 20-year shingles — these are overdue for full replacement. Cedar-Riverside’s high-density campus-adjacent housing includes some of the largest continuous flat-roof systems we work on. We handle all of it under one roof — commercial flat, residential pitched, metal, and cedar shake.

Minneapolis also requires a building permit for roof replacements and most significant repairs. Permits are issued through the Minneapolis Inspections Services division. As a licensed Minnesota roofing contractor, we pull all required permits as part of the project. For commercial projects, Minneapolis also requires licensed contractor sign-off on the final inspection. Permits protect you legally and ensure work passes code — skip them and you may have trouble when selling the property or filing an insurance claim.

Recent Minneapolis project: Sellers Roofing recently completed a general residential roof replacement in the Minneapolis area — a typical job profile we see across Hennepin County. We document every job with photos, manufacturer warranties, and itemized line items so homeowners and property managers in Minneapolis get full transparency.

Hail and storm damage in Minneapolis — we handle the insurance claim

Insurance restoration is a meaningful part of what we do in Minneapolis, particularly after spring and summer hail events. We work directly with all major carriers and can be present on-site during the adjuster’s inspection to ensure the full scope of damage is documented. Minneapolis adjusters are experienced with hail claims, but it’s still possible to miss soft-metal damage on flashing, gutters, and ridge caps that can lead to future leaks. We provide a written itemized estimate that matches the format insurance adjusters use, which speeds up claim approval. We also handle partial insurance checks and can work with your mortgage company’s three-party payment process if required. Learn more about our hail and storm damage services.

After a significant hail event, we prioritize commercial clients with open inventory or occupied residential units. Call (651) 703-2336 directly — do not use a contact form if your roof is actively leaking. Emergency dry-in and tarping runs $400–$1,200 for a typical section, and we document the damage photographically from day one for your insurance file.
