Now Hiring - View Openings

A good roofing contractor in Blaine, MN, has to be ready for just about anything, because Blaine’s housing is all over the map. South of town, you have 1970s ramblers with original or second-generation roofs. Up near the National Sports Center, you have newer executive homes with steep pitches and complex lines. Advantage Construction works on all of it. B

laine also has a real reputation for hail. Residents still talk about storms where the hail sounded like baseballs hitting the roof and left siding looking like it had been through a shotgun. When weather like that rolls through, you want a roofing company that knows the area and answers the phone.

Blaine and Storm Season

Blaine’s position in the northern metro puts it right in the path of severe storms that develop over central Minnesota and arrive with damaging hail and high wind. Anoka County sees this most summers, and Blaine tends to be one of the harder-hit spots when a cell tracks through. The tricky part is that hail damage often does not look dramatic from the ground. 

Your shingles can lose the granules that protect them, your seals can break, and you would never know until a leak shows up months later. That is why a free post-storm inspection is one of the smartest things a Blaine homeowner can do.

Signs Your Blaine Roof Has Storm Damage

After a hail or wind event, look for:

  • Loose granules piling up in gutters and at downspout outlets
  • Soft bruises, dents, or cracks on shingles are often hard to see from the ground
  • Dings on metal vents, flashing, gutters, and even your siding
  • Shingles that are lifted, creased, or torn from high winds
  • New leaks or water stains showing up weeks after the storm

If you saw hail at your house, it is worth a free inspection even if the roof looks intact.

Roof Repair or Roof Replacement? We Will Tell You Straight

Sometimes you need a quick roof repair after a windy night. Sometimes the smarter move is a full roof replacement that resets the clock on your whole system, especially after a serious hail hit. A handy guideline is that when repairs would cost more than roughly a third of a replacement, replacing is usually the better value. We climb up, document everything with photos, and give you a straight recommendation so you are not guessing.

Blaine homes span every tier, from compact ramblers to large homes with steep, complex rooflines near the Sports Center.

When the work is storm-related, you often pay only your insurance deductible.

Roofing Materials We Install

Advantage Construction provides only top-quality roofing systems built to last. When you hire us as your roofing contractor in Blaine, MN, you’re getting materials that stand up to heavy winter snow, ice dams, and summer hail. We put our customers first and give them the best options to protect their homes. Our durable roofing materials include:

Shingles

Asphalt shingles are a favorite among Blaine homeowners for their high fire ratings and ability to muffle noise. They offer great curb appeal, stay flexible in temperature swings, and hold up well against hail and falling debris.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing is sleek, high-quality, and low-maintenance. It’s a popular pick in Blaine’s townhome communities, where owners want a smart long-term solution. It costs more upfront, but it’s one of the most durable options out there and sheds heavy snow with ease.

Cedar Shakes

Sophistication and elegance meet curb appeal in cedar shake roofing. Its distinctive design makes your home stand out on the block. Cedar shakes call for a bit more maintenance, but they’re well worth the investment.

Our Roof Installation and Repair Process

The Advantage team knows how much your roof has to take in a town that sees hail like Blaine does. Every project gets the same quality materials and proven techniques, no matter the size of the home.

1. Protecting your home first. 

Before tear-off, we set tarps and protective barriers so falling debris stays off your siding, windows, doors, and landscaping. Protecting your property is the first job.

2. Removing and inspecting the old roof. 

Once the old shingles are off, we inspect the wood decking and repair any soft or rotted areas, since a roof is only as strong as the deck beneath it.

3. Prepping for the new roof. 

We prep the surface and install the layers that protect against Minnesota weather, including drip edge, ice-and-water shield, underlayment, and proper ventilation.

4. Installing your new roof. 

Our trained crews install your roofing system with precision, paying close attention to the flashing and valleys where leaks usually start. When the work is complete, we haul away all debris, magnet-sweep your yard and driveway for stray nails, and walk the finished roof with you.

We Take the Stress Out of Insurance

Filing a storm claim is a lot easier with someone who does it every day. We document the damage in detail, meet your adjuster, and make sure nothing legitimate gets left off the claim. Most homeowners end up paying only their deductible. See our insurance claims assistance page for how it works.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a roof replacement cost in Blaine?

Advantage prices by home size, from up to $11,500 for smaller homes to $27,000 and up for the largest, for standard asphalt shingle systems. Steeper, more complex rooflines near the Sports Center push toward the higher tiers. A free in-person estimate confirms your exact cost.

How can I tell if my Blaine roof has hail damage?

Check gutters and downspouts for loose granules, look for dents on metal vents and flashing, and watch for bruised or cracked shingles. Much of it is hard to see from the ground, so a free inspection after a hail storm is the safest way to be sure.

Does homeowners' insurance cover hail damage in Blaine?

If your roof has qualifying hail or wind damage and you file within your policy window, insurance typically covers replacement minus your deductible. We document the damage thoroughly and work directly with your adjuster.

Are impact-resistant shingles worth it in Blaine?

For a town that sees this much hail, often yes. Class 4 shingles resist hail better and frequently qualify you for a discount on your homeowners’ insurance, which helps offset the upgrade over time.

How long does it take to replace a roof?

Most Blaine roofs are torn off and re-roofed in one to two days, depending on size, pitch, and any decking repairs. Larger or more complex homes can take a little longer, and we give you a realistic timeline up front.

Do I need a permit to reroof in Blaine?

Yes. Roof replacements in Blaine require a permit under the Minnesota State Building Code, and we handle pulling it as part of every project.
